We’re not sure what to make of the weather so far in 2016 – one minute it feels like spring and the next we are reminded that it is winter. Nonetheless it is in fact winter at the beach, which for the most part means shuttered businesses (we’re looking at you Pickles, Seacrets and Fager’s Island), significantly less traffic, and a near empty beach. But winter also means the return of wintertime specials at local restaurants, and we LOVE a good special. At the beach, there’s a dinner special each night to take advantage of, from lobster dinners to taco nights. Whether you’re a simple burger and fries kind of girl or a three-course Italian dinner guy, there are winter dining specials for everyone this time of year in Fenwick Island and Ocean City.
