Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum (Boardwalk at the Inlet)
Maryland
The Boardwalk's southern anchor: a former 1891 US Life-Saving Station (predecessor to the Coast Guard) moved onto pilings at the Inlet in 1977 and turned into a museum of shipwrecks, storms, and beach-patrol history -- the literal starting point of the 3-mile boardwalk.
Why Roamward picked it
Distinct, named, precisely-locatable landmark at the boardwalk's southern terminus -- gives the boardwalk a checkinable anchor point that is not a duplicate of the existing generic 'Ocean City Beach' entry.
