Take the trolley in Sea Isle City

Beginning on July 3, and running through Sept. 1, the Sea Isle City trolley system will begin its full-service season, running each day from 2-10 p.m.
The fare to ride the trolley one-way will be $2 for adults and $1 for children under four-feet tall. A full-day trolley pass will also be available for $3, and will be good for all ages, with unlimited trips.
A fare-free weekend will also be available on June 27-28 to allow patrons the chance to familiarize themselves with the new system.
The trolley route will begin at 85th Street, where it will head north onto Landis Avenue until turning right onto 34th Street. It will then turn left onto Pleasure Avenue, turn left again onto 33rd Street, and then turn left once more onto Landis Avenue.
The trolley will then continue south on Landis Avenue, turn right onto JFK Boulevard, turn left onto Park Road, and then continue to the 48th Street Lot at the end of Park Road.
After leaving the 48th Street Lot, the trolley will head north on Park Road, turn right onto JFK Boulevard, and then turn right onto Landis Avenue to continue southbound.
Next, the trolley will bear left at 82nd Street onto East Landis Avenue, turn right onto 85th Street, and right again onto Landis Avenue to start the entire route over.
Patrons traveling to the Sea Isle City Library, Community Lodge, City Hall, and Dealy Field will be especially delighted with the new trolley system, because those are designated as “fare-free” destinations all summer.
Upon boarding the trolley, a patron need only tell the driver which of those four city facilities is their destination, and the driver will admit them for free and drop them off in front of the city facility of their choice.
Once at those destinations, the city will provide patrons with free tickets for a return trip on the trolley. Naturally, this free service will only be provided during the normal working hours at those city facilities.
To accommodate the throngs of visitors who come to Sea Isle City during the busy Independence Day holiday each year, there will be an additional trolley added to the route.
There will also be a separate night trolley service, which is being provided by a local group of business owners for patrons traveling to Sea Isle’s nightclubs and taverns.
The Yacht Club of Sea Isle City has also arranged a trolley service for their members, which is expected to alleviate the parking problems at their Venicean Road location. Patrons can obtain additional information about those two trolley services from the participating businesses involved.
Additionally, when patrons purchase a beach tag at the Beach Tag Office, they will receive a $1-off trolley coupon and a flyer explaining the trolley service. Participating Realtors in town will also offer $1-off coupons to their patrons.
Sea Isle’s other merchants that participate in the trolley system will have the opportunity to stamp a ticket for a free return trip with the purchase of any item in their establishment. This will be good news to patrons who will no doubt enjoy hearing the phrase “we validate.”
