Are you and your significant other ready to kick off the summer? Cape May’s unique charms provide an intimate setting with rows of antique Victorian homes, countless beaches, wineries, and fine dining. A romantic summer vacation in Cape May, New Jersey, awaits you both. Here are some of our favorite things to plan for the ultimate romantic getaway!
Winery Tours
Vineyards surround Cape May, all perfect to share the unique notes of local wines with your significant other. Guided tours are available if you’re planning a romantic carefree day, or you can venture out on your own to a winery such as Jessie Creek Winery. Their small batch wine brings in flavors from Italy and their tastings start at $25 for five wines.
Sunset Stroll on the Beach
There are several beaches to take a romantic stroll on, but one stands out here in Cape May. Sunset Beach lives up to its name by providing one of the most gorgeous spots to view the sun setting over Cape May. Bask in the orange and red glow of the descending sun and create an unforgettable evening.
Grabbing a Bite
A candlelit dinner may sound a bit cliché, but the fine dining in Cape May rises about the typical fare. Indulge yourself in the fresh local seafood of Washington Inn. Their expansive cocktail and wine listing pairs excellently with their entrée menu, and dessert is a must. They’re tucked away on Washington Street and the elegant environment creates an intimate, yet relaxed dining experience.
A Picnic at the Lighthouse
Cape May Point State Park is home to the nearly 200-year-old Cape May Lighthouse. You and your significant can sit out by the historical landmark and enjoy a quaint picnic on a summer afternoon. Meadows, ponds, and beaches reside in the state park as well, so don’t forget to take a stroll after!
