Great little museum to visit with the wife and kids. Lots unique items and pictures to see having to do with information about OCMD's life saving history as far as the coast guard is concerned from the beginning till the present. Their is a very friendly staff on hand and the museum it self houses everything from a small aquarium to boats used in the past to save lives to samples of sands from around the world. Definitely a must see with 2 floors of so much to look at from floor to ceiling.

This is something you definitely want to see when you come to Ocean City, the life saving station museum has incredible architecture, and a lot of history about ocean city. You can sit right there on the benches and it overlooks the inlet and Assateague island. Great place to see a Sunsets as well as sunrises. It’s located at the very southern part of Ocean City. When you come down and enter the Inlet parking lot, the first thing you’ll see is the life-saving Station and can park in the Inlet parking lot, go to Trimper‘s rides, Marty’s Playland, the pier rides, thrashers french fries, and more great place to start a vacation.

Very cool little place. You would have to spend HOURS in here to read and digest all of the super cool history (unfortunately we didn't have that much time when we went). There is a lot of focus on the influential women of the area which I enjoyed. Restroom available and a cute little gift shop too. Highly recommend stopping in and exploring the history
