Sea Girt

Quiet Elegance by the Sea

Sea Girt is one of the most exclusive and peaceful shore towns in New Jersey. With a midnight curfew and no commercial boardwalk, this small community maintains an atmosphere of refined tranquility that attracts those seeking escape from the busier shore towns.

The Sea Girt Lighthouse, one of the last live-in lighthouses on the Atlantic coast, offers tours on Sundays and provides a glimpse into maritime history. The Parker House on the main strip offers dining and accommodations with ocean views.

Sea Girt's beach is pristine and uncrowded, backed by beautiful homes rather than commercial development. The town's strict zoning has preserved its residential character for over a century.
