Long-time visitors often call the island town of Sea Isle, New Jersey, "our island home away from home;" once you have discovered its charms, you want to return again and again. You can explore the coastal waterways and beaches on your own, or you can charter a boat to see the island's hidden natural treasures.
Nature Tours
Get far away from the crowd on one of the nature tour charter boats that depart from Sea Isle. Discover isolated areas that you can reach only by sea. Your guides take you for hikes through the great salt marshes and stop at the best places for excellent snorkeling. You can explore the wilderness on nearby Ludlam's Island and cruise the shoreline of the Cape May Bird Observatories, where people from all over the world come to see the nesting grounds of migratory birds and birds of prey.
Parasailing
Soar up to 500 feet above the Atlantic Ocean when you take a parasailing charter cruise from Sea Island harbor. This sport is fun for all ages, easy to learn and very safe. State-of-the art equipment and certified instructors give you enough confidence to try a few tricks to enhance the thrill factor.
Sport Fishing
The waters off Sea Isle are full of big game fish that challenge the most experienced fisherman and delight newcomers to the sport. You can stay out for a half day or take an overnight cruise to catch bluefish, snapper and tuna. Experienced guides supply you with the latest gear so you have everything you need to land a big one.
Sightseeing Tours
The Atlantic waters off Sea Isle are a playground for many fascinating creatures, and many local charter companies offer whale-watching and dolphin-sighting tours. If you go to sea with the Cape May Whale Watch and Research Center, you are not just a passenger, but a member of the research team and get a chance to participate in activities like whale spotting to help collect data for the center's studies.
Kayaks and Canoes
Rent your own single or double kayak or canoe, and explore the coastal waters along Sea Isle's shores on your own, or hire a local guide to lead you to favorite fishing spots and bird-watching sites. Special maps show back-bay water trails that lead from Cape May all the way to Ocean City.
