Only Cape May’s beach goes from east to west, letting you enjoy both sun rises and sunsets on the same beautiful beach. Our favorite beach is located at the intersection of Pittsburgh Ave & Beach Ave, across from the Peter Shields Inn. This is further from the crowds, but still provides a bathroom & outdoor shower. The beaches further down Beach Avenue provide more restaurants, fun arcades, etc. Keep an eye out for the friendly Cape May dolphin, which frequently cruise up & down the beaches.
Along with trips to the beach, check out the Cape May Zoo, rent bicycles, go kayaking (H&H Seafood provides kayak tours), whale/dolphin watching on various charter boats, explore the Cape May lighthouse & surrounding nature paths, view the beautiful Victorian homes & historic landmarks.
Other fun things are available.: Tennis players can rent clay tennis courts just a half a mile from the house. The Cape May National Golf Club's public course is just a short 4 mile drive away. If the weather is bad, you can take your car on the Cape May/Lewes Ferry, and shop the antique and Tanger discount outlets in Delaware.
