The chairs do not collapse and are not to be tied on tops of cars. All chairs are considered to be in 100% good condition upon your taking possession unless otherwise stated by the attendant. Any chair returned to the Civic Center in less than 100% condition will be subject to a flat fee of $50 for repair or replacement of parts.

Beach & Water Safety

Tragic water accidents happen quickly. The most common reason for aquatic mishaps is a lack of safety knowledge. The Ocean City Department of Public Safety recommends the following safety tips:

  • Learn to swim
  • Swim near a lifeguard
  • Never swim alone
  • Supervise children closely, even when lifeguards are present
  • Don't rely on flotation devices such as rafts; you may lose them in the water
  • If caught in a rip current, swim sideways until free; don't swim against the current's pull
  • Alcohol and swimming don't mix
  • Protect your head, neck and spine - don't dive into unfamiliar waters - feet first, first time
  • If you are in trouble, call or wave for help
  • Follow regulations and lifeguard directions
  • Swim parallel to the shore if you wish to swim long distances
  • Report hazardous conditions to lifeguards or other beach management personnel
  • Never turn your back to the ocean - you may be swept off coastal bluffs or tide pool areas and into the water by waves that come without warning.
