What began as a humble stagecoach stop more than 50 years ago has blossomed into a memory-making overnight destination. Just a few miles north of Seaview is historic Smithville, with a quaint downtown setting snug with more than 60 inviting painted-clapboard shops. Wander along the village’s cobblestone walkways and over the scenic footbridges to discover a hidden New Jersey gem that seems as if it were frozen in colonial time. Thoughtfully manicured grounds and striking attention to detail make historic Smithville a pleasure to relax and explore. If shopping isn’t your thing, watch the carousel spin its magic and the paddle boats float around Lake Meone. Make time to get in a boat yourself to glimpse a sweeping view of the village from the water’s edge. There’s a Car Cruise on September 10th and 27th as well as an antique show on the 13th, all on Smithville’s Village Green. Still not convinced to visit? Let Seaview sweeten the deal by offering you a deluxe room with welcome cocktails for two and a $50 gift card to either the award-winning Inn at Smithville or Fred and Ethel’s restaurant.
