Must see · Beach · Nature / Park
Bask on the white sand and in the calm water at Cape May City Beaches. Explore the promenade on bike or surrey, which are available to rent. To spend time on the beaches, you must purchase tags from the patrols at one of the entrances or at city hall. Keep the tags handy as you move between beaches, which feature similar amenities, including lifeguards. Food and nonalcoholic drinks are allowed, so consider bringing a picnic, or pick up a hot dog from one of the snack bars. Ask Inspirock to suggest an itinerary and make planning a trip to Cape May fast, fun, and easy.

    We were there in May and although it was still a little chilly we hit the ocean!!! Sunny most of the time we were there.  more »

    Cape May Beaches are some of the finest sand beaches on the East Coast. Clean and safe with lifeguards during the season you’ll enjoy finely raked and cleaned beaches daily.  more »

    Cleanest, most pristine beach in NJ. Large surf waves make for a lot of fun to jump in and splash around. We stayed in Ocean City and in Wildwood, but drove to Cape May for a couple of days because the quality of the beach and waves were just that much better than either Wildwood or Ocean City.
  • By David Lopez
    Beach is one of the best on the East coast. Lots of waves but not too deep. Lifeguards on duty. And free admission!
