MAYOR'S MESSAGE

Each summer, countless families travel to Sea Isle City simply to frolic on our beaches and swim in the Atlantic Ocean. To help keep everyone safe, we are fortunate to have the members of the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol, who keep an eye on surf conditions and provide assistance when needed. The SICBP has a long-standing commitment to excellence and safety that has been cultivated and passed down for generations - and brothers Hugh and Joe Bowen were fine examples of that commitment. << READ MORE >>

Additionally, each member of City Council looks forward to working with the Administration in the year ahead as our town continues to move forward in a positive direction. << READ MORE>>

Beautification Efforts

In accordance with our typical practice, now that the summer season is here, we try to limit the amount of construction taking place on public property, in order to minimize the disruption to our residents and visitors, as for many, this time of the year is precious. We also are in the process of preparing and putting into place plans for the next round of capital improvements throughout the City. As these projects move forward through the design, bidding, and construction phases, we will continue to provide you with updates on their progress.
