SEA ISLE CITY, New Jersey Located in a protected cove, on the South Jeney Coast, Sea hie City has the hardest, safest and most delightful bathing beach of any of the seashore resorts. Undertow is something seldom experienced, while the gentle slope of the beach allows the bather to wade out for a great dUtance in absolute safety. A three-mile boardwalk along the ocean front provides an enjoyable promenade, with rest pavilions at convenient points. The social diversions offered at Sea Isle City’s finely appointed yacht club, and the mainfold amusements along the boardwalk assure the visitor of continued, unbroken enjoyment during the stay at the Queen of Seaside ResorU. Try it this year.
