Kevin and his team ROCK! They hooked up a board rental, which turned into a sale. Kevin listened to what kind of board I was looking for, directed me to nearby (and beautiful) Assateague Park (yes we saw some ponies), and made the purchase as seamless as possible. He also threw a free K-Coast shirt in for my birthday! I love my new board and definitely going to say what up to the K-Coast homies next time I'm down in OCMD. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I moved from Southern California to Washington DC, and I had to find a place to surf. Jason and K-Coast Surf Shop have all the answers, and with their amazing inventory of surfboards and all the accessories you need, I'm ready to get in the water and start charging after waves. I couldn't be happier!‍ read more

K Coast is RAD AF! Haven't been in OCMD since 93. Late October employees super nice. Thanks K Coast

Instructors were awesome and Kids had a blast. Made them feel safe were able to surf right away

After quite a long time away from the ocean, i visited OCMD with my board plus its busted fin. Should be quick fix... i purchased the necessities here, i had to revisit once more for a special piece that i didn't anticipate. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Tons of merch in the store! Next time I'm back I'm going unchained with the card. =) read more

K-Coast Surf Shop - Thanks for the gear to repair this relic =) - Sports Wear Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Nice shop, nice people. Clothing, boards, jewelry, gifts, just a great place to visit.

Anna helped us find exactly what we wanted. She was super helpful and polite. If you need authentic OC surf wear and essentials go to K-Coast and ask for Anna. read more

Great service. Everyone was very personable and informative. We rented out surf equipment and it was in good form and well taken care of. They also have a great little shop in there. Very unique soaps and other bath items. Along with an array of clothing. read more

I surfed for the first time! The staff here was extremely courteous and patient. I was only here for a limited time and reached out to the shop I spoke directly to the owner. He told me they were booked but he make sure to keep in touch with me if they were any cancellations. On my last day I checked in with him and he confirmed with me they had an opening! I had a blast and my instructor Eric got me up in going in no time, definitely picked up a new sport. Thank you guys! read more

K-Coast Surf Shop - Eric taught me the basics to surfing all in one lesson. Super appreciative I've been wanting to surf for years! These guys are great! - Sports Wear Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

I love K-Coast! My favorite surf shop out east. Not only are the clothes top notch, their customer service is outstanding! Thanks for the thank you note! read more

When I was much younger, my family would make the trek out to OC, MD every summer for a 1-2 week stay. K-Coast was one of those surf shops we always hit up. After going away to college, we stopped going to OC. This summer, my friends and I finally traveled again, being older and wiser, having all graduated from college. At the end of the week, after frequenting many of the OC MD surf shops, we came to a realization that K-Coast has really taken over to become the #1 surf shop in OC. Here are a few reasons why K-Coast is best: 1) Selection. Out of all of the shops, K-Coast appeared to have the largest supply of clothing brands, as well as surfboards and definitely bodyboards. 2) The staff. The people working at K-Coast are all very friendly and helpful. I was always asked if I needed help. 3) There is a separate shop totally devoted to women's clothing. My friends and I went in to shop for our girlfriends - and came out successful. 4) The K-Coast brand shirts are really well designed and cool looking. read more

My family of 6 stopped into the smaller shop last weekend and the staff were so welcoming and nice. The owner happened to be in there and gave all our kids stickers and my youngest a bucket and shovel with their logo on it, so so sweet!! I always get a little nervous bringing all our kids into some stores, but they made us all feel so welcome! Also they have a great selection of clothes and swimsuits, I could spend hours in there shopping. read more

First stop on the Ocean City shopping tour every summer: K-Coast. Actions and reactions: 1. Bask in the surf goodness. Watches, sunglasses, shoes, flips, board shorts, long boards, surf boards, skateboards. 2. Make sure I check out everything I can. 3. Try some clothes on. Must... resist... urge... to spend everything I have. 4. Realize the prices are always so high at surf shops. 5. If it's at the beginning of the day, rent surf board. If it's at the end of the day, return rented surf board. 6. Leave (what a horrible feeling). read more

I highly recommend this experience with kids. We had all 3 of our children ages 12,11 and 7 come for lessons. They were helpful and attentive. They guided them into the water and had people quickly catching the loose boards after and helped them swim out again. The staff were all friendly and made us and the kids feel safe ! It was truly and memorable experience! read more

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff gave us your help finding shoes clothing rash guard surf wax--everything we needed! Thanks brother! read more

Great shop with a huge selection of anything you need surf related. Their sunglass selection is one of the best in Ocean City. Their prices are just the same as other shops, its called a vendor's MSRP, it's what they are supposed to sell it for. That's how a business works, you need to make a good margin in order to stay in business. Come on people. Great surf shop hands down, always a friendly staff as well. Plus they have their own parking lot which is always convenient when in OC in the summer. read more

Super knowledgeable, super accommodating. I've been surfing for 15 years and wouldn't go anywhere else to rent or buy. Thanks guys! read more

K-Coast Surf Shop - Sports Wear Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

See all

Traveled to Ocean City from the West Coast, not sure where to surf or where the "surf beaches" were, but the crew at K-Coast hooked me up when other nearby shops did not. The other shops were either: 1. closed, 2. clueless, 3. located too far away from the places it was "legal" to surf. But K-Coast had multiple locations and set me up with a board, showed me where the surf beaches were (the fact that you have to surf in a block or two stretch is lame by the way East Coast, but not fault of K-Coast ... time to fight for your right to surf wherever you want!). Long story short, I would not have got the stoke on the East Coast if not for the gang down at K-Coast. Thanks again to everyone there. I crossed a goal off my list because of you. read more

I absolutely love this place - especially for their knick knacks (Sp?) Although, I saw this hat I wanted and - i scanned it on amazon and it was literally 2-$ cheaper. :( Seems like theres a lot of people working there but usually they dont start chatting it up with you - which I like - I hate being bothered by sales associates. read more

I recently developed a habit of checking in on Yelp and was pleasantly surprised that there's a 10% promo for a clothing item after my check-in. It was great since we already made up our mind to pick up a pair of swim trunks. The store itself have 2 levels and have a nice variety for both male and female. I was impressed with how organized the shop is considering how much merchandise was on the floor. The staff greeted us and asked if we need help while browsing. I reduced a star since the merchandise is on the pricey side but it was expected in a convenient tourist location. read more

I had the privilege of working for K-Coast for 4 summers & they truly have the best selection of men & women's apparel, surf, skate, & skim boards & accessories, & the most knowledgeable staff. They also offer board rentals & surf lessons! read more

Awesome place and great merchandise. Went to one location for some surf gear they did not have what I needed gave a discount card to use if I went to there other location . Great service !!! read more

I like this store; the staff is typically nice and attentive. The last time we went on a Saturday morning though, there was no one there to open at 8am. Their hours are posted on the door stating 8am as well as on some websites. When I called and asked when they would be open, the man said 8:30 or 9 (can't recall exactly which one). I mentioned that we thought it was 8 and they might want to change them. They recently changed the hours. I told him there were quite a few people waiting and he said something about surf lessons then hung up. read more

Great staff. Awesome selection of clothing and accesories! Love the shoe wall!

Probably one of the better surf shops on the east coast. super cool staff and owner that "gets it." Great selection in boards (new shapes and used). Worth checking out read more

This place is exactly what a beach surf shop should be! Huge selection of clothes, swimwear, bags, and shoes! It's very hard to not buy everything because they have all the cutest styles! They have a huge selection of Reef sandals and an entire wall of girl's swimwear styles! There's also a new restaurant connected to it: The Toucan. That place has some great mahi-mahi tacos! But that's another review altogether! K-Coast is definitely a must on everyone's beach shopping list! read more

This store is attached to the crazy 8s sandwich shop. It was recommended take a walk around as my food was being prepared and that's exactly what it was... a simple stroll around a store at which no one paid any attention to me whatsoever. Hey smiling face greeted me as I walked by the register but I was not approached once during my 10 minutes and I can't say that it bothered me much because there was absolutely nothing that stood out or was of interest. I was surprised at how large the place was and maybe even have some nice surfboards (I am not an authority), but both levels of clothing just left me yawning. read more

Good selection of clothes. Good quality and beautiful styles! All the employees were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this store! read more

Great selection of surfing gear, clothing and boards. I purchased my first board from them and I always check them out when I am in the area. Only downside is I am not local in the winter and have had a hard time getting any replies to my email or Facebook messages. Was hoping to have some things shipped to me. Aside from that everything has always been great and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. They also offer rentals and surf lessons. read more

A great selection of surf/skate clothes and gear for men, women and kids. The lower level of the store has a wide selection of women's clothing, sandals, sunglasses and surf DVDs. The upper level houses a slightly smaller, but still expansive, selection of men's clothing, as well as youth clothing. If you walk past the men/children's clothing, there is a section devoted to surf, standup paddle, skim, and boogie boards as well as all accessories (wetsuits, shorties, leashes, fins, wax, etc). The staff here are always friendly and willing to help if you help. It's a little pricey, mainly due to the fact that the store carries all name brands such as Quicksilver, Billabong, Hurley etc. I could do some serious damage to my wallet at this store, thank God I am only in Ocean City on weekends! read more

We got surf lessons for the kids at K-Coast. They are super friendly, organized and great with kids. They were very supportive and encouraging. I would recommend them to anyone looking for surf lessons while in Ocean City, MD. Awesome sauce guys!! Thank you for making it an amazing experience to remember. I'd give you 6 stars if I could. read more

Nice shop with a wide selection of beach accessories and with good quality. A good contrast is with sunsation, don't mean to bad mouth about the business, sunsation carries low end products, I couldn't find the stuff that I wanted. I was impressed by the nice selection of brands Kcoast carries. The price is not all that bad, I don't mind to pay a few more bucks there than other outlet store, so I can get the product sooner. It also has a second floor, there you can find all kinds of boards and wet suits. So it's actually bigger than what you thought from outside. read more

This is one of my favorite stores in oc. The selection of different clothes and accessories for men, women, and children is so vast you are almost guaranteed to find something you love every time you go in there. The store is very organized and not as messy as some of the other stores down in oc. Every brand you can imagine is in the store such as billabong, element, reef, vans, etc. They are always getting new things in every week so they always have new selections. They have not only tons of things for the summer but they also get seasonal items such as beautiful sweaters. Every time I am in oc I always try to get to the store and check out all the new items. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The only thing I dislike about this store is in season how busy it can get and the very few fitting rooms they have. Everything else about the store is amazing! read more

Very poor customer service experience. Tried to use Yelp coupon and was told that it is not honored. When I questioned why I was told that it was a scam. Was told they only honored their coupons. The way I was spoken to you would have thought I was the scammer. Was bothered by the way I was treated so I called the store and was treated in a very similar fashion over the phone. I have shopped there for a number of years and not had bad experiences in the past. After this experience I will not be shopping there again. read more

I really enjoy going into all the shops in Ocean City, but the reason I like K-Coast is because I like the laid back atmosphere and lack of sales pressure. The employees are attentive, but not overbearing and the product selection is very impressive. A great store and always a good shopping experience... read more

Didn't have much of a chance to shop. We were asked by a young female clerk to check our Vera Bradley back pack purses because it was their policy not to allow "book bags" in the store. We explained that they were purses and not book bags but it made no difference. If they do not trust me in their store with my purse then I certainly don't trust them to hold my purse. Very unprofessional !! read more
