Looking for an affordable retreat center?

The Son & Sand Retreat Center is a ministry of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, providing church, faith-based, and other organized groups with a place to step away, reconnect, and renew.  

Located just one block from the beach in Ocean City, Son & Sand provides a peaceful setting for groups to spend meaningful time together.

Son & Sand is not a hotel or vacation rental.  Rather is a shared retreat space intended for organized groups gathering with purpose. All reservation requests are reviewed to ensure the proposed use is consistent with the mission of Son & Sand and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.
