Seaside Heights has been an oceanside resort destination from the beginning.
Developers hosted train trips for potential vacation homeowners, as the borough sprung to life between Seaside Park and Ortley Beach. By 1915 the first toll bridge had opened, allowing visitors more options to get to Seaside.
The first version of Casino Pier opened in 1932 — and America’s first Himalaya ride was installed at the pier in 1963.
Along the way, the Seaside Heights Boardwalk and Casino Pier have been struck with tragic disasters that included catastrophic fires before and after the devastation of Superstorm Sandy. Both communities have proven their resiliency through rebuilding and expansion.
