Spotlight On: Sea Girt, NJ

Posted by Shawn Clayton on April 7th, 2016

Sea Girt is a tiny seaside community residing on barely more than a square mile of idyllic Jersey Shore beachfront! For what the community lacks in size it makes up for with an appealing laid-back, small-town style and stylish colonial aesthetic. Featuring a long stretch of the iconic sandy beaches the New Jersey Shore is known for, the homes here are bordered to the north by the tidal Wreck Pond, and to the south by Stockton Lake.
