Sea Isle City

Sea Isle City brings together an oceanfront Promenade, the seafood businesses of Fish Alley and the inlet setting at the southern end of town. The Promenade is paved rather than a wooden amusement boardwalk, and stretches between 29th and 57th Streets.

JFK Boulevard is a central arrival point with access to both the beach and Promenade. Farther south, Townsend Inlet Waterfront Park at 94th Street and Landis Avenue provides a different setting, with a pavilion and views of boats using the inlet. Fish Alley adds a working-waterfront dimension to a dining trip.

Compare homes by the destination you will actually use most: the central Promenade, Fish Alley or Townsend Inlet. These are not interchangeable locations, and your parking needs and daily walking routes may differ accordingly.
