E-NEWSLETTER
From the City of Sea Isle City
SEPTEMBER 5, 2024

August has flown by, but fortunately we had a terrific summer season here in Sea Isle City! Throughout the past few months, our beaches were filled with happy people, our summer events attracted huge crowds, and, for the most part, Mother Nature was extremely cooperative (and on some occasions she was down-right generous with mild temperatures and long stretches of sunny days).
Even though most of us don’t like to see the summer end, the consolation prize is the arrival of September and the other wonderful autumn months that follow. For many folks, autumn is their favorite time of year to be in Sea Isle City – thanks to beautiful weather conditions, quieter beaches, and other factors that make this season so very special.

At the start of the August 27 City Council meeting, Mayor Desiderio introduced thirteen-year-old Aiden Beck, who was serving as honorary “Mayor for the Day.” City Council was very pleased to meet Aiden and have him sit on the dais during our meeting that day, and we hope he enjoys the school year ahead.
Also on August 27, local property owner Kevin O’Dare thanked the mayor for his many years of service to this community and presented him with a model of a Sea Isle City Beach Patrol lifeguard boat.
