Outsiders can only purchase a day parking pass for a specific day or days at a cost of $30 a day.

I may have not stated it correctly ,  I was not talking about weekly or day  beach passes, but what they reported.  How they purchased summer parking passes.  I apologize. what I am reporting is what I was told, not what I did.

Highlighted below is what I believe they did.  They were not buying daily or weekly passes, but a full membership swim pass that then allowed them to purchase the beach pass.  At that time it seems that they were not the only ones who figured this out.  If you Own property in Ocean city for personal or rental use,  and are NOT an Ocean Pines Property Owner, you can buy the swim or tennis or golf or pickle ball, etc  membership  and buy the parking pass from OP and then use for your own use or as a perk for your rental.  It seems that your swim pass if that is the membership you purchased would allow you to buy the beach parking as well as swim there.

AND they did not feel they were trying to scam the OPA system.

If you read what is on the OPA website under beach parking that I have posted here you will see what is said.\ It is not confusing.   Unless it is not what really is the policy. Since we sell full amenities memberships at an increased fee to non Ocean Pines property owners it stands to reason that they can also buy the beach parking,

There does not appear to be exclusions for outsiders ( those who do not own property in Ocean Pines) to purchase anything since all our fees include a higher fee for outsiders. unless it appears somewhere else. 

This is from the web site, 

Below is what is on the OPA web site and it makes sense that that can be done since we offer, at a higher price, memberships for sale to anyone who does not own or rent property in OP.  Therefore Ocean city folks can buy our plans.  There is a huge sign on the sports core pool as we speak that we are open to the public.

Basically I don't care and if I am confused it is not my fault. The information is confusing if as you say it is not true..  I only am reporting what I was told and when checking our documents on line it seems to make sense that someone who does not own property in Ocean Pines may purchase our amenities at a higher rate.
