West Cape May and Cape May are the NJ shore towns with something for everyone, every season of the year.
Our beaches are clean and inviting. For those who enjoy an early morning run, you can watch the sun rise over the ocean, while running on the beach or boardwalk. Walkers can walk down to meadows only a couple blocks from West Cape May or out to the lighthouse and back (takes about an hour round trip).
Dining is one of our areas favorite activities offering some of the best fine dining in New Jersey. Many of those restaurants are within walking distance wherever you stay. And West Cape May has some elegant bed and breakfast inns known for their gourmet breakfast fare.
Spend the day relaxing on the beach or taking a walk along the waves to the Cape May Lighthouse. (You can climb to the top!) Watch spectacular sunsets every evening over the water, visit Sunset Beach, a great start for a romantic evening.
For a taste of Cape May's history, take any of several different tours being offered by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts, such as the Ghosts of Cape May Trolley Tour or the Delaware Bay Lighthouse Adventure.
Nature lovers can take off for a day of birding or nature walks. Cape May is recognized as an international bird migration spot.
Horse and carriage rides are always a treat (and very romantic with that someone special!)
In early winter, Christmas in Cape May is a must do. See the town ablaze in lights.
Anyone who loves professional equity theater is sure to enjoy an evening at Cape May Stage or East Lynne Theater Company.
Our spring Music Festival every May and June features performances by a variety of musicians. The Food and Wine Festival in September, Victorian Week in October and Sherlock Holmes Weekend and the Cape May NJ State Film Festival in November keep things busy during the fall.
If you visit us in the summer, be sure to come back and sample other seasons of the year in Cape May, New Jersey!
