A blog about visiting Sea Isle City New Jersey

4. February 2007 by Dan.

We have visited Sea Isle City several times in the last several years during the summer.  The number one attraction is the high quality of its beaches……..fine white sand, not too many shells (except right along the water line), nice waves, and a very nice variety of restaurants (especially if you like seafood and Italian).  It has a boardwalk (promanade) that extends for quite a few blocks from the center of town (JFK Blvd) in both directions.  While Sea isle does offer many Ocen View condos, you can also rent accomodations both on and off the beach during non-holiday summer weeks (we have rented a 2 bedroom condo which is just 2 blocks off the beach for about $700/wk the last 2 years).  On the beach is more expensive of course, but there are a lot of off beach condos available, if you book ahead.  Here are my favorite things available in or around Sea Isle:
 The BEACH……all of it is good, but the beaches between 37th and 50th street have the easiest access to grab lunch or snacks.  Note: Beach tags are required (you can buy them on JFK blvd, but check with your rental agent first, as many condo’s, especially the private rentals may include free use of  beach tags during your visit) Favorite Beach Food > The Rapini & Sausage Sandwich at Giovanni’s (On Landis, near 44th I think) Favorite Restaurant > Busch’s (located just south of Sea Isle in Townsends Inlet) Favorite Fresh Seafood > Mike’s (Nothing beats a hundred steamed clams and butter!!) Fishing > Lots of Saltwater Fishing Oppty’s from Surf Fishing to the Inlets that surround the island.  I like Corson’s Inlet (North of Sea Isle a few miles) Fireworks > If you are there during the 4th, check out the fireworks off the beach……..but be aware that parking is very difficult during this as many people from other towns and the nearby mainland campgrounds also will be there.Links for more Info:http://www.seaislechamber.comhttp://seaisle.net/
