Sea Isle City, NJ

Sea Isle City water tower
In June 2014, my coworker/friend and I were recently lucky enough to score a free night in a beautiful condo in Sea Isle City, NJ right before it got really busy with the tourist season. We only spent a little over 24 hours there, but it was a really nice overnight getaway, and a really cute beach town!
There was a cute coffee place in walking distance from where we stayed-RedWhite & Brew-which had some yummy flavored iced coffees, good breakfast sandwiches, and really good homemade muffins. Just a cute spot to grab some breakfast, from some really friendly people.
We spent some of the day walking around and checking out Sea Isle-really nice promenade/boardwalk with cute restaurants and shops. The beach was nice and clean, as well. In the afternoon, we shared some white wine with some wine and cheese & crackers and hummus while able to see the waves crashing from our deck. Not so bad!
Dinner was really the highlight at Mike’s Seafood Market & Dock Raw-Bar Restaurant which was a fun, outdoor, laid back, BYOB seafood restaurant. We sampled the steamed shrimp and the steamed scallops. We both had them steamed in an old bay butter sauce--with either red potatoes or corn on the cob, and coleslaw with both--yum! It was also Free Mussels Monday so they gave us some mussels in white wine for free! This was all pretty tasty with some white wine. Great dinner! We followed it up with some walking off our dinner and some icecream for dessert. :) (I guess the ice cream negated the walking, oops).
The next morning we had breakfast at Dock Mike’s Pancake House which was a cute local place.
We finished off our quick getaway with some sitting on the beach watching some waves and chit chatting.
Not a bad overnight trip! No pictures from this trip, but there's always the memories... :)
