BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY !!!…read more After Ventura's, I took a long walk on the beach . It was such peace and bliss - the sights, the sounds, and just the sheer wonder of the ocean's magnificence! I ran into some friendly folks, cute dogs and a beautiful sandcastle. I literally love having my feet in the sand too!

I actually was able to still purchase the 2025 Stamp to further support such a valuable tool to save wildlife. Plenty of parking, restrooms and a very nice Visitor Center with informative displays & a gift shop. Visitors can pick up maps, info and updates on what you could see in the refuge. The Staff is friendly & helpful. Kelvin is amazing, he does a drive through of the Park prior to his shift so he can give daily updates, there is a board listing his sightings. He is also an expert on the area and willing to take the time to discuss the refuge, and directions to other possible spots to visit. Birders, do not pass on the opportunity to speak to Kelvin if he is available. One of the best we have had the pleasure of speaking to on NWR Journey. Weather was dismal, but the Wildlife Drive was incredible, we did two days in a row & saw plenty of wildlife.

I considered buying a house here, and it is more beautiful than photos can convey. But the flies…read morefrom the surrounding marsh lands can be overwhelming. IMO, the best time to visit is the off season, and close to sunset. There are houses built right on top of beach, on pilings over water! The homes must have amazing views. They also have small parcels of private beach at almost every home. But there is a larger public section of beach too. The public area is recently restored, and still not as big as Cooks Beach, Kimbles Beach, or Highs Beach, but the small lanes where the homes are gathered like a village amidst the marshes are really adorable.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Oddly, there was no beach badge fee on the Thursday leading up to Labor Day weekend, but it's advertised online as $10 daily. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Beaches are scattered along the boardwalk and kind of broken up into sections. - Wasn't as clean as we expected. - Sand had lots of shells and remnants from the ocean. - The north side of the beach wasn't huge. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = For you shell collectors out there, along the coastline where the beach and ocean currents meet, there was a craaaazy amount of shells of all shapes and sizes!

The name is highly misleading, since it brings up images of wooden planks and arcade games and such, but none of those are to be found here. Only come to Sea Isle for swimming, there's not much else to do. It's just a very quiet, conservative, family getaway type place that's lacking in excitement. Consider yourself warned.

We like to come to the shore during off-season to explore little nooks and crannies. Strathmere is…read moreone of the few beaches that doesn't require a beach pass - on the down side, that means very few public bathrooms and in some cases, no life guards. Whale Beach is a wide open stretch of shoreline and while we were there during the spring when there was no one around, I'm sure there is enough room for folks so it doesn't feel too crowded during high season. Parking is extremely limited, so come early.

There's lifeguards on duty…read moreby many of the access points and many beautiful places to throw down a blanket and enjoy a book. Tons of great businesses to patronize before and after your beach visit as well. BIG waves during our October visit which made paddle boarding (or my version of it which is just going weeeee on lil waves) super fun. A 6.5 hour drive from Rochester and a really good option if you're just looking for a speedy getaway.

Also they don't harass you to death for beach tags in my experience- many times the entrances to the beach aren't staffed with beach inspectors. Lifeguards are excellent and there are snack shacks and of course the mobile "Fudgey Wudgey" ice cream cooler. There is even a great Wawa in town if you are on a budget. Picnicking is not allowed and that is the reason the seagulls aren't out of control. The shops are great! One of my new fave shops is "The Well Dressed Olive". Get here early and don't miss out on the "Bread and Cheese Cupboard" piggy buns or theee "to die for" pepperoni tangy savory bread- cash only (booooo!!!) lots of fun at Hoy's and some junky type souvenirs that are fun n frivolous for all. Don't miss their happening t shirt and sweat shirt collection boasting the Stone Harbor name. Bathrooms are near the water tower in the shopping district. Things in Stone Harbor tend to cost a lot more. Be prepared. This area is crawling with money, so you are going to spend money!
