St. Paul's by-the-sea Protestant Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church located in Ocean City, Worcester County, Maryland. It is noted for its historic Carpenter Gothic parish church, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.Episcopal services were held from 1878 at Congress Hall, with a mission church built nearby in 1881. In 1898, John Waggaman of Washington D.C. donated to the congregation two lots "up the beach" at Baltimore Avenue and Third Street. The cornerstone for the new church was laid on June 6, 1900, and the first service was held the following year. In 1924, it was elevated to parochial status.

Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge
Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge

The Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge is a bridge in the U.S. state of Maryland. It carries 4 lanes of U.S. Route 50, plus two sidewalks, across Sinepuxent Bay, connecting the downtown area of Ocean City, Maryland to the mainland of Worcester County, Maryland within West Ocean City, and is mere feet from the national eastern terminus of said route. It is one of four entrances to the resort town, and the southernmost of them all; the others are Maryland Route 90, Delaware Route 54, and Delaware Route 1. The bridge features a drawbridge span near the Ocean City end. The bridge is named for Harry W. Kelley, a former mayor of Ocean City. The current bridge in this location, built in 1942, replaces an earlier bridge that was slightly downstream of the current site, which used what is now Maryland Route 707 (Old Bridge Road) to cross the Sinepuxent Bay and connect to downtown Ocean City as Worcester Street. At the time of its construction, the bridge carried U.S. Route 213; it was changed to its current number in 1948 when the extension of US 50 replaced US 213 south of Queen Anne's County. Currently the bridge is a busy center of activity in the city, and is utilized by many fishermen, joggers, and cyclists. The bridge is the target of much discussion due to its age and structural issues, as well as its antiquated design. In August 2010, the Maryland State Highway Administration decided to construct a new drawbridge to replace the current structure. The new drawbridge was selected over a higher fixed span, which would have cost more and have displaced more properties. The bridge is not expected to be constructed until at least 2035, with $300 million in funding for planning of the bridge. When the new bridge is complete, the existing structure is planned to be turned into a fishing pier with the central part of the bridge removed.
