## Detailed answer

No, pets are not allowed on the Ocean City Boardwalk, except for service animals that are specifically trained to assist individuals with disabilities. The city has a strict no-pets policy on the boardwalk to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the area, as well as to protect the health and well-being of visitors. If you plan to bring your pet to Ocean City, you can find pet-friendly accommodations and activities in the surrounding area, but you will need to leave your pet behind when visiting the boardwalk.
