When you drive down the Garden State Parkway and see that big green Exit 17 sign, you know you’re about to enter one of the best beach towns in the entire United States: Sea Isle City, New Jersey.
Sea Isle City isn’t just another Jersey Shore spot, it’s a place that generations of families from Philadelphia, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Chester County, and all across South Jersey have grown up making memories. The moment you cross that bridge, the 135-foot water tower welcomes you with its giant reminder: Smile You’re In Sea Isle. And honestly, how can you not?
The water tower itself has its own story. Back in 2002, Mayor Leonard Desiderio decided that “Welcome to Sea Isle City” was way too boring, so he changed it to the friendlier “Smile … You’re in Sea Isle City,” inspired by the classic Jersey Shore anthem On the Way to Cape May by Al Alberts. In that song, Alberts sang, “I was taken by your smile as we drifted by Sea Isle.” Years later, when the tower went through a $667,500 renovation and got a fresh sky-blue paint job, a big smiley face, and a shorter slogan, they dropped “City” so it would rhyme better. And now when you roll into town, you’re greeted with the simple but iconic Smile You’re In Sea Isle message. It’s not just a slogan; it’s a lifestyle.
And that’s where this Beach Tank Top comes in. Our brand new Sea Isle City Tank Top takes that iconic water tower slogan and brings it right into your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re at the beach, grabbing a drink at Ocean Drive, or lining up for No Shower Happy Hour (with those famous long lines that stretch down the block), this tank says it all. Life is lighter, easier, and just more fun in Sea Isle. Click Here To Purchase the Smile You’re In Sea Isle Tank Top and make it part of your shore tradition this summer. Everyone knows people love Ocean City, NJ for its family boardwalk vibes and Avalon, NJ for its upscale vibe, but nothing beats the pure party energy of Sea Isle City. The music, the laughs, the dancing, it’s the ultimate Delco, Montco, and South Jersey summer playground, and this tank top lets you wear that pride.
Generations of families have spent their summers here, passing down traditions like Friday nights at the Sea Isle City Promenade, lazy mornings at the Sea Isle City Farmers Market, or catching live music during the endless lineup of Sea Isle City Events. Some of the old bars that I grew up going to are no longer there, but that’s life. Things change. And every time, new owners have stepped in who respect the history and keep the spirit alive. That’s what makes this place special, no matter how it changes, Sea Isle City always feels like home.
If you’re heading to the Sea Isle City Boardwalk, planning a beach day, or checking into one of the many Sea Isle City Hotels, this Sea Isle City Tank Top fits right in. Just don’t forget your Sea Isle City Beach Tags, because those beach tag workers take their job seriously, and if you try to sneak on the beach without one, they’ll either send you packing or politely rob you of your hard-earned cash. The good news is, with this tank on, at least you’ll look good while handing it over.
And if you’re lucky enough to end up at The Point Tiki Bar, you know exactly what’s going to happen. You’ll be sitting there with a drink in your hand when suddenly you spot someone you went to high school with. But here’s the magical part, it’s always the person you actually want to see. It’s never the person you’ve been dodging for years. That’s the beauty of Sea Isle City. It’s the reunion you didn’t know you needed, mixed with ocean air and good vibes.
The Smile You’re In Sea Isle Tank Top isn’t just another shirt. It’s a statement piece. It’s a way to carry the spirit of Sea Isle with you no matter where you are. Click Here To Purchase the Sea Isle City Tank Top and be the one in your crew who shows up ready for the perfect summer.

This is the perfect look for the crew hitting the beach all day and rolling straight into the Ocean Drive at night. It’s the piece that makes everyone laugh, nod, and say, “Yep, you get it.”
We didn’t forget the rest of the lineup either.

And for anyone who loves a little road trip, wearing this tank makes it clear that Sea Isle is the start of the journey. From Sea Isle City NJ to Cape May NJ, it’s one of the best coastal drives you can make in the summer, passing through some of the most iconic spots on the Jersey Shore. But nothing beats rolling into Sea Isle itself, with that giant water tower looking down, smiling back at you.
So whether you’re a lifer who’s been hitting Exit 17 every summer since the 80s, or you’re new to the Jersey Shore scene, the message is always the same: Smile You’re In Sea Isle. Wear it proud, rock it at the bar, throw it on after the beach, or gift it to the person who can’t stop talking about their summers at the Shore. Because this isn’t just a tank top. It’s a memory, a vibe, and a whole lot of Sea Isle pride stitched into fabric.
