1 Mile Ocean Swim Event

1 Mile Ocean Swim

  • Location: Sea Isle Beach Patrol Headquarters
  • Starts: 11:00 am

The race will be started at 11:00 AM, rain or shine, on Saturday, July 18, 2026.
An electrical storm or dangerous surf conditions will necessitate resetting the start time until later in the day.  If conditions do not improve, the swim will be cancelled.  Weather cancellations will be announced on the home page of the beach patrol's website.
The starting line for this box swim will be at the water's edge. Swimmers will swim out to the first turn buoy. After turning the buoy, they will swim parallel to the shore line. Upon reaching the second turn buoy, swimmers will turn toward the shore line and finish on the beach in front of the 44th Street beach patrol headquarters. The traditional starting line will be located at approximately 61st Street which means the swimmers will swim north. If extreme currents run north to south on race day, the starting line will be switched to 27th Street in an effort to have participants swim with the current.

Cape May Stage: Kalamazoo Event

Cape May Stage: Kalamazoo

  • Location: Cape May Stage - 405 Lafayette Street
  • Starts: 8:00 pm

When two cautious strangers meet later in life, polite conversation quickly takes flight — sparked by sharp wit, surprising confessions, and a shared love of birds. As Peg and Irving navigate the tender awkwardness of starting over, they discover that hope can appear when you least expect it. Witty and uplifting, Kalamazoo is a sophisticated romantic comedy about second chances, unexpected connection, and the courage to spread your wings at any age.
