We've been told Ocean City needs to "keep up" with other beach towns.
That we should trade in our barrier island porches and tacky boardwalk for slick mega-builds with universal marketability.

Scarborough Inn is living proof that authenticity, when nurtured with real care and commitment, outperforms any flashy reinvention. The fact that your team members have years of genuine investment in this place is exactly what guests feel when…
