OCEAN CITY -- In a town that bills itself as America's family resort, officials are saying "enough already."Enough with body-piercing shops, enough with music blaring from boardwalk vendors, enough with counterfeit Pokemon merchandise, enough with the first pawnshop, which recently opened on 26th Street.But most of all, enough with tattoos.With a long-standing restriction on tattoo parlors apparently in jeopardy, the mayor and Town Council are scrambling to hold the line against what they say is a cumulative assault on the town's cherished wholesome image.

FENWICK ISLAND -- This place rocks -- no, swings. The Bahamas might have reggae and steel drum bands, but Fenwick Island has the one and only Art Curley Trio, featuring Mr. Art Curley on clarinet and alto saxophone.You won't hear Art Curley's music on the radio. VH-1 "Storytellers" won't be booking him. And unless you are of a certain advanced age, you'll probably never feel the pulsating urge to crash one of his performances.But come Sunday, Art Curley owns Fenwick Island."He's my hero. He's like everyone's grandfather," says Eddie O'Malley, owner of the Shark's Cove restaurant.

Last week was Beach Week on my blog, Dining@Large, so of course I had to do the Top 10 Beach Eats. The following are my suggestions of best places for certain things in and near Ocean City. What you won't find here are restaurants that are all round good, like the Marlin Moon Grille, but don't happen to fall into one of these categories. Here's my list: 1 Best Italian: Fresco's. Pastas are a specialty. No surprise there. 2 Best sunset bar: Macky's Bayside Bar & Grill. Chosen because of the stirring rendition of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" as the sun sets.

Bethany Beach's dedicated residential-community culture has thrived for decades, subsisting primarily on its permanent beach-house folks and condominium residents. Its few hotels typically impose a minimum-stay requirement. There's no frenetic boardwalk fanfare; the town's picturesque wooden promenade provides strollers and joggers with a stage for views of spectacular oceanfront scenery. There are occasional benches where visitors can perch and people- and pigeon-watch. The laid-back vibe inspires lazy beach days and long, serene dinners.
