Sea Isle City offers families all the recreational and entertainment
activities of a large seashore resort. This small, quiet, family
friendly, convenient resort was voted one of the best
beaches in New
Jersey The 5 mile island of Sea Isle City is situated
between Ocean City to its north and Avalon and Stone Harbor to its south. If you
come across the 55th Street bridge out of Ocean City, you will enter
Strathmere before you get to Sea Isle city proper.
Strathmere has great restaurants and
beautiful big beaches. However, the island is very narrow at this point. At the
southern tip of Sea Isle is
Townsends Inlet.
If you enter Sea Isle City from the
Garden State Parkway, as you come over the bridge on JFK Boulevard
you get a spectacular view of the ocean, boardwalk and the city of
Sea Isle itself.
Sara the Turtle is Sea
Isle City's mascot. The city has chosen the diamondback turtle to
raise the awareness of the plight of these endangered terrapins.
They have a fun but educational annual festival planned this year
for June 24,2008.
Sea Isle is the favorite hangout of
college kids. If you want to see your college friends, head for Sea
Isle - even if you graduated 20 years ago! At night this is a real
party town because of its abundance of bars and nightclubs.
Families love Sea Isle and return year
after year. There are great accommodations to
match your needs and plenty of good shopping.
There are a few
churches
in this town also. The
recreational
facilities are phenomenal There are
activities scheduled for every member of the
family from young to old and if
fishing is what you like....then Sea
Isle is for you! There are playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball
courts and a skateboarding park for the young and not so young and a
library, concerts and fabulous restaurants for all.
As you can clearly see, Sea Isle
City is a popular choice for families, a place to
come back to year after year.

Activities
There is so much to see and do in Sea Isle
and surrounding areas. The
beaches are beautiful and clean and Sea
Isle City has a great 1.5 mile oceanfront promenade -
"boardwalk". Not only are there numerous
shops,
but you can bike and in-line skate on this blacktopped "boardwalk"
between 5 AM to 3 PM on weekdays and 5 AM to Noon on weekends.
 There are numerous
golf courses in the area for the serious or
weekend golfer and miniature golf courses right in Sea Isle City
itself to satisfy your urge to make that hole in one.
Boating and sailing enthusiasts will find their
own beaches for catamarans and wide back bays for sailing. Public
boat launch areas are available throughout the town.
This is a fishing and crabbing Mecca. You can
fish from the beaches or from the public piers throughout the
city. Half day or full day deep sea fishing is available through
the many charters in the area.
If you like to crab, this is definitely the
premier spot to be. You can rent a boat and explore the back meadows and creeks, and
bring home a bushel of tasty blue claws.
Sea Isle has three
shopping districts for
its visitors; the downtown section, Promenade Shoppes, and the
Shopping Center shops.
Sea Isle offers a wide range of fine
restaurants
and shops, boating, swimming, summer concerts, and its famous mile
and a half long promenade where you can bike, jog, skate, visit the
arcades and shop. It is not a wooden boardwalk like most other
resorts.
There is always something to do
here. You can enjoy the free concerts on
Mondays and Wednesday and dance
parties on the promenade, guided beach explorations,
tennis courts, boating, fishing, and numerous
supervised
recreational activities
and fun places for children of
all ages.
In the resorts surrounding Sea Isle, there are
numerous activities
for all to enjoy besides the boardwalks of Ocean
City and Wildwood.
Area
Restaurants offer mouth watering
seafood specialties that make you return every chance you get. Our
next door neighbor is the chef at Bracas Cafe so that's where we go!
DELICIOUS!
The beaches are clean and the ocean is sparkling
clear. Beach tags are required for those over 12 years old
but on Wednesdays, you can spend a free day on the beach and
then enjoy a free concert in the evening.
Because Sea Isle was originally a
fishing village, anything to do with boats and fishing is big here.
For fishing, both party boats and charter boats are readily available. Party Boats
usually carry a large
group of people and charges on a per person basis. Deep sea fishing
trips can range from 4 to 8 hours. All necessary fishing equipment
is usually available for rental. Charter Boats are usually
hired by a private group. Equipment are bait and often provided
along with the rental. You also can make arrangements to go
whale watching.

The fishing and crabbing in the bays
and surrounding waters of Sea Isle is spectacular. I know that this
is where we go when we want to go crabbing. We rent a boat, drop our
lines and scoop up lots of big blue claw crabs - DELICIOUS! Fishing
charters depart daily for half day or full day excursions.
When
we go crabbing, we not only rent a boat with a net, we are able to
buy the bait (we use moss bunker), lines, sodas and anything else we
need. They give us a map of the bays so as not to get lost. A
suggestion is to bring bug spray not only to put on yourself but to
spray the boat as well. Remember that sun screen too!
