Historic Berlin has been the backdrop to many things including the movie Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts. Great place to take a stroll and check out some Antiques. Visit the Atlantic Hotel for lunch and Rayne's Reef for dessert.

Practically Ocean City, this small town at the North end of OC is a great way to get out of the hustle and bustle for a few hours. Checkout Nantuckets (upscale) and Harpoon Hanna's (boaters retreat- we love taking our boat to enjoy a drink and some crab dip here) if you go.
