Seaside Park — The Quieter South End Through Four Eras
Just south of the busy Seaside Heights boardwalk, Seaside Park has always been the quieter, more residential end of this Ocean County barrier. The 1920 aerial shows a modest community of summer cottages on a wide beach with natural dunes intact. By 1933, the community had grown and the hurricane had narrowed the beach noticeably. The 1944 view, taken after the Great Atlantic Hurricane, shows significant dune erosion — the barrier was narrowing under repeated storm assault. By 1962, Seaside Park was a well-established community, but the Ash Wednesday Storm overwashed it completely — three successive high tides kept surge on the island for days.
