I am not certain where the month of January went, but February is here and we are very close to another fun-filled Presidents Weekend in Sea Isle City. If you haven’t already done so, I hope you are making plans to be with us, because it promises to be a banner weekend – thanks to the Recreation Office’s Family Skate Night on Valentines Day evening, the shopping and dining specials that will be offered at participating businesses throughout town, and the annual Mike’s Seafood Run-Walk for Autism on February 15, which I am told is going to be bigger and better than ever!

NEW KAYAK STORAGE INFO
Kayak Rack Lottery Has Been Cancelled,
There's a New Process for
Distribution of Berths in 2025
The Recreation Office has changed the process for distributing Kayak Storage Berths at Dealy Field. Instead of a random lottery, this year the city’s 112 Kayak Berths will be distributed on a “first-come-first-served” basis.
To obtain a 2025 Kayak Berth, property owners and year-round residents can sign-up on the Recreation Office’s “Rec Desk” web page, where they must submit a digital photo of their tax bill and submit payment of a $75 rental fee for the use of a berth. PLEASE NOTE: Year-round residents who are not property owners are asked to contact the Recreation Office at 609-263-0050 prior to March 1 for alternate instructions.
The distribution of 2025 Kayak Berths will begin on Saturday, March 1, at 9:00 AM, at which time the Recreation Office’s Rec Desk “Kayak Rack” page will be activated. Please use this link to access Sea Isle City’s Rec Desk page: https://seaislerec.recdesk.com/. The Kayak Rack page will stay active on Rec Desk until all 112 berths are assigned and a 50-person numerical waiting list is created. The waiting list (which will also be on a first-come-first-served basis) will be used in the event a Kayak Berth unexpectedly becomes available during the summer season.
Those without a Rec Desk account are encouraged to create an account prior to March 1, to be prepared when the registration process begins. READ MORE
