A Maid of Honor HQ Guide
East-coast beach weekend with the boardwalk circus
Ocean City is the bachelorette weekend that doesn't pretend. Beach all day, Seacrets at night (the bay-front 18-bar complex you can't believe is real), pontoon-charter afternoon, and a 6BR with a dock that holds the bridesmaids.
Three full weekends at three price points in about 60 seconds. Trip terms sheet included.
