Beachy times

Nestled in New Jersey’s southernmost point, Cape May is one of America’s oldest seaside resorts and a popular summer getaway. Its beach, running parallel to Beach Avenue, draws travelers for its unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views, lined with ornate Victorian mansions, and bustling shops and eateries. During peak season from Memorial Day through summer, you will need a beach tag to enter, which can be purchased at the beach entrance or City Hall. You can get a daily tag or a seasonal tag, and they serve as great souvenirs for your visit, too. Explore the rest of Cape May on a guided trolley tour and learn more about the backstories of this historic area. – Tripadvisor

    The views and the sounds of the waves are the most relaxing part of coming here
    I love the Cape May Beach. It is escapism away from the hustle and bustle of town and of all the crowds. People just relax on the beach, read books, talk amongst themselves and just relax. It is a step back in time to when people still talked, and cellphones did not exist. I just love putting my tired feet in the waves and looking out to see and imagining what it must have been like here in the Victorian Age when people had time on their hands. It's nice to just relax, walk in the waves and think. Sometimes it is nice when time stops.

    nice beach, but...
    Super torn here. The beach was gorgeous and almost empty, even in July, parking was easy, and we didn't have to far to walk. But as a Floridian who's lived near some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, I just can't get over charging people to visit. Even our local national seashore only charges per car what Cape May charges per person. For brown sand. Glad I visited, but it's not a place I'd intentionally vacation.
