It’s Memorial Day weekend in Sea Isle and that means the fun doesn’t stop just because some rain is falling on the beach.
Thousands of visitors didn’t travel here to become shrinking violets when water is added to the equation. In Sea Isle, the taverns and restaurants fill up when the beaches empty. Pizza and hoagie shop phones start ringing off the hook and house parties break out like a stressed teenager.
On Saturday, the weather began beautifully and then clouded up and eventually produced on again-off again sprinkles. All that meant was the fun-seekers got a little creative and kept the good times rolling.
Our Sea Isle News photographer was no different, having a good time walking around town and documenting the scene:
So, where did the people go that left the beach? We set out to find out. A short walk down Landis Avenue we noticed lines to get into the Ocean Drive and the Sandbar, so we decided to investigate.
OK, so now know what the adults did, but where did the kids go? That answer was not hard to find out either. It appears that rain does not effect the miniature golf business as much as most would think. The Pirate Island Adventure course was packing them in.
At the boardwalk you could hear a mild roar coming from the “Boardwalk Casino”. Inside we found kids young and old trying the best at games of skill and chance.
