Packed beaches, filled parking lots and a bustling Promenade can pretty much sum up the scene on nearly every weekend in Sea Isle City this summer.
"We had a terrific year in Sea Isle City,” Sea Isle Public Information Officer Katherine Custer said Sunday.
Complementing Sea Isle's beaches, the city's bars, restaurants and its array of family-friendly activities and recreation programs also proved to be immensely popular with visitors.
But there was also something else definitely on this seaside town’s side this summer -- Mother Nature.
“When the weather is as good as it's been this summer, people simply want to be at the shore,” Custer noted. “Throughout the season, everywhere I turned I saw folks enjoying themselves."
Custer added, "That's really no surprise when you consider that Sea Isle has beautiful beaches, fantastic entertainment, great restaurants and shopping, and the friendliest people at the Jersey Shore."

Visually, it certainly appeared busier than even last year, which ended on a very good note, beach tag-sales wise.
And the city has the numbers prove it.
Lifeguards will continue to protect Sea Isle beaches until Labor Day.
While many of Sea Isle’s beaches remain open, others are closed or are closing with lifeguards returning to their full-time jobs and school.
Check the Sea Isle Beach Patrol’s website at www.sicbp.com for the latest list of beach openings and closings.
Some beaches may reopen Saturday, Aug. 31. (Dates may be earlier or later dependent upon availability of lifeguards). Some of the beaches will be guarded up until Labor Day.
