Sea Isle City Restaurants
Sea Isle has great casual dining both indoors and dockside. However Sea Isle is best known for casual dock side seafood restaurants in Fish Alley. Fish Alley is the old marina area between 42nd and 43rd streets and the bay. There are still a few commercial fishing boats docking there but mostly Fish Alley is a place for great dockside dining. Nothing fancy just great seafood, bring your own beer and enjoy.
And like any great shore town Sea isle has plenty of great pizza, breakfast restaurants,sandwich shops, coffee shops and ice cream,frozen yogurt and water ice. |
