It’s easy for people to appreciate life at the Jersey Shore during the summer months because playing in the sunshine and frolicking in the surf are popular activities that appeal to all age groups. Many folks also look forward to the slower pace of the spring and fall seasons, which feature great sunsets and milder temperatures. However, when it comes to the winter months, people often shun the idea of being at the shore. In fact, one of the most common questions we tend to hear is “what do you do during the winter in Sea Isle City?” As it turns out, the answer to that question is a simple one: “Plenty!”

"What's Smoking in New Jersey"
Educational Program is Open to the Public
Sea Isle City’s Municipal Alliance, Mayor Desiderio, the Sea Isle City Police Department and the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office will present a marijuana and vaping awareness event titled “What’s Smoking in New Jersey” on Friday, February 8, from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. inside Sea Isle City’s former public school, 4501 Park Road. During this interactive presentation, Criminal Justice Professor Douglas S.

CITIZEN CALL-CHECK PROGRAM
|
"Peace of Mind" for Seniors and
Those With Disabilities
Sea Isle City residents can easily sign-up for a wonderful free service called the “Citizen Call-Check” Program (also known as “CCC”), which helps ensure that seniors, the physically disabled and those who live alone are safe in their homes each day of the year. Once registered, residents simply phone the Sea Isle City Police Department each morning to say “I am OK.” If the Police don’t hear from you by 11:00 a.m. each day, they will phone you. And, if you don’t answer your phone when they call, they will send an officer to knock on your door – just to make sure you’re doing well. To learn how to register for the SICPD’s Citizen Call-Check Program, please phone the SICPD Records Department Monday thru Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at (609) 263-4311 ext. 2223 or ext. 2246.
