The Ocean City Council voted this week to approve new regulations aimed at limiting the size and placement of tents and canopies on the beach. The new rules, which take effect immediately, are designed to address increasing complaints about blocked views and crowded conditions during peak season. The ordinance will ban all tents except for small baby tents, prevent canopies from being set up before 10 a.m. if left unattended, and limit canopy size to 10 feet by 10 feet.
