14 days in Cape May Itinerary

Cape May represents the other Jersey Shore--the one you don't see on TV--the one with a rich history and a refined, relaxed atmosphere.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Cape May Lighthouse and Boat Tours & Water Sports. Explore Cape May's surroundings by going to Spas & Wellness (in Sea Isle City), Cape Henlopen State Park (in Lewes) and Ocean City (Ocean City Beach, Pirate Adventures, &more). On the 5th (Wed), spend a day by the water at Wildwood Boardwalk. Pack the 9th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Storybook Land. There's much more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Cape May City Beaches, stroll through North Wildwood Beach, head outdoors with Black Pearl Pirate Excursion, and learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cape May County Park & Zoo.
