Sea Isle City Attractions

If you are looking for things to do in Sea Isle, you’ve come to the right place. Sea Isle City attractions are plentiful and there is much to do here.

Boardwalk

Sea Isle refers to its boardwalk as a “promenade” and it is paved, not wooden (the original wooden boardwalk was destroyed in the 1962 Nor’Easter). The Sea Isle City promenade runs from 29th Street to 56th Street, for a total of 1.5 miles. It is a perfect place to ride bikes, walk or run during the day, and at night the promenade at JFK Boulevard and Excursion Park is the hub of entertainment. Here, you will find concerts, movies and family entertainment every night of the week in summer. The promenade has a handful of shops and dining establishments which can be found at the Spinakker Condominiums between 34th – 38th Streets. There are also a few shops and eateries between JFK Boulevard and 44th Street. Otherwise, the promenade is largely residential.
