Ocean City kite flying is a favorite family activity.

Better buy your kites before you get to OC’s Beach and <b>BE</b> the Fun! Kite flying is an integral part of fun on the beach. With a great off shore breeze you can create your very own festival for everyone to watch, and you can join in with others having a great time.

Crabby says to, “Choose kites the whole family can enjoy; selecting ones that put different kite shapes, colors, tails, and characters together.”

Most Single Line Kites can be flown by any age (as long as there’s a responsible adult around helping the little ones) and the kid in everyone soon comes to life. You can find Patriotic Kites, Pirate Kites, Animal Kites, Parafoil Kites, Box Kites, Airplanes and More!

Two-line Sport Kites allow the pilot (that’s you, the kite flyer) to finesse the kite through aerobatic stalls, loops, spins and more. It is also fun to compete against other kite flyers.

For the bigger kids, Stunt Foils are the newest way to have fun flying a kite. Learn stunts and feel the power of the wind pulling on your arms. There is no frame to break and these kites fly in a wide wind range.

DON’T FORGET: to stock up on kite line, winders, stakes and more…for fun at the beach.


Ocean City has several popular kite shops and we do believe in supporting local/small businesses, but in this case you may consider ordering online before your vacation. If you bring your kite(s) and supplies with you you can “fly” as soon as you get here. Often the breeze is just right the evening you arrive and also early the next morning. When you already have your kite you don’t have to go shopping and stand in line waiting to have fun flying over the beach.
