Sea Isle City and the surrounding barrier islands of Cape May County are documented here in the late 19th century, revealing a landscape defined by intricate tidal waterways and early coastal development. The West Jersey Railroad Sea Isle and Ocean City Branch provides the primary transit link across the marshlands, connecting mainland points like Seaville and Ocean View to the growing resort. The coast is lined with vital maritime safety infrastructure, including several Life-Saving Stations such as L.S. Station Corson Inlet and L.S. Station Tatham.
