 Princess Grace Kelly had her Sweet 16 Party at Seaview in 1946
in the Oval Room where we will hold the Getaway Disco. Look for the
photo of her dancing with her daddy just outside the door.
- The Rolling Stones stayed at Seaview for 10 days in 1989 during
their Steel Wheels Tour. We're still trying to find out whether or not
they trashed their rooms. Rumor has it that Eric Clapton showed up for
lunch one day.
- Bob Dylan was also a guest at Seaview around the same time. He
checked in under the pseudonym "Justin Case." Get it?
- Seaview has hosted PGA & LPGA Championships on their award-winning
Bay Course.
Presidents Harding & Eisenhower, avid golfers, were both regulars.
Harding bet on every swing. The management is mum about Ike's gambling
habits.
- The Noyes Museum of Art curates a gallery at Seaview. During the
Getaway, the exhibit will feature the Stephen Dunn Manuscript
Retrospective.
- Seaview is located on the edge of the Pine Barrens with hundreds of
wooded acres waiting to be explored. Overlooking Reed's Bay, the
property offers views of the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and the
Atlantic City skyline.
