Ocean Gallery

The Ocean Gallery is an Ocean City institution. There are several Ocean Gallery location in Ocean City, but the best (and strangest) is located right on the boardwalk close to the Southern terminus at 2nd street.

The owner of Ocean Gallery, Joe Kro-Art, drives some very unique cars (one modeled after the Batmobile, another inspired by the movie Titanic).
