• Here's How Ocean City Beaches Fared During Recent Nor'easter (patch.com) — Ocean City's beaches took a moderate hit from the late-September nor'easter, with up to 210 feet of sloped beach erosion and some dune scarping near 58th Street. State coastal experts say recent beachfill helped limit the damage and much of the sand may naturally return as calmer conditions reshape the shoreline.
