Sea Girt, NJ Vacation Rentals
Although just a little over one square mile in size, the quiet seaside town of Sea Girt, New Jersey packs a fantastic assortment of vacation opportunities for the whole family. Unlike other popular New Jersey shore vacation towns, Sea Girt is a thriving community year-round.
The town boasts an amazing public school system, a low "chintz" factor, and distinguished architecture. Sea Girt is home to a pristine, calm beach and protected natural areas, such as the National Guard Camp once frequented by President Woodrow Wilson.
The town's historic lighthouse-designed in the 1800s to signal to mariners and fishermen trolling the Barnegat Bay-rises over 50 feet above the sand. The "Sea Girt Light" (as it's locally known) stands at the corner of Beacon Boulevard and Ocean Avenue and remains functional. Its curators have included a variety of colorful figures, including a Civil War spy and a renowned poet and his wife.
Other Sea Girt attractions include:
- · The National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey
