"Philadelphians love “going down the shore.” Sea Isle City is one of the closest New Jersey beaches, only an hour and 20 minutes away by driving, and accessible via Greyhound bus. The long, yellow sand beaches are the perfect place to chill, while the mild waves are great for cooling off or surfing. Just pay attention to weather alerts, as sometimes there are dangerous rip currents. When the sun goes down, head to the promenade, which borders the far edge of the beach. There are shops, an arcade, and dinner options at Sea Isle’s popular seafood restaurants or the Sunset Pier bar and restaurant." - MATADOR_NETWORK
