Circa 2011-2012. The City of Ocean City officially purchased the 4.5-acre parcel of land in May 2011, and the heliport ceased operations to allow for the site's redevelopment.
Redevelopment for municipal use. The heliport was closed after the land was acquired by the city to construct the new, state-of-the-art Ocean City Public Safety Building, which serves as the headquarters for the police department and includes other municipal services.
The site has been completely redeveloped. It is now the location of the Ocean City Public Safety Building (6501 Coastal Highway), which houses the headquarters for the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD), and an adjacent municipal Public Works facility. There are no remaining traces of the former heliport.
The 65th Street Heliport was a privately-owned, public-use facility primarily known for its role in tourism. It was the base of operations for helicopter tour companies offering sightseeing flights over Ocean City. For many years, these tours provided tourists with aerial views of the iconic boardwalk, coastline, and Assawoman Bay, making the heliport a notable local attraction. It primarily handled VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations for light helicopters like the Robinson R44.
There are zero prospects for reopening the 65th Street Heliport. The site is permanently occupied by critical public infrastructure. Helicopter operations in the area are now primarily handled by the Ocean City Municipal Airport (KOXB).
