Cape May lives up to its reputation as America’s original beach town. The seaside town is surrounded by 20 miles of sandy beaches, with waves rolling in from the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. A beach day is a must when visiting New Jersey, and a pool day is a must when you need to unwind from your busy itinerary. Discover your ideal beach and a pool in Cape May!
Cape May Beach
Cape May Beach is a beach great for all seasons. Soft and clean sand surrounds the area, and the waters are some of the crystal-clearest in New Jersey. Access to this beach is easy, and metered parking is available along Beach Avenue. This beach is also a great spot to catch a glimpse of dolphins splashing by!
Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach got its name from its beautiful view of the Cape May sun setting over the open water. Get your camera ready when you visit in the evening; it is a gorgeous sight. If you’re in the mood for some treasure hunting, Sunset Beach is a great spot for finding the famous Cape May Diamonds!
Wildwood Crest Beach
Wildwood Crest Beach is one of the biggest in Cape May. Stretching over a few miles, it’s easy to find a good spot to relax and avoid a crowd. Clean sand and water contribute to this beach’s beauty, and it isn’t very crowded at all if you visit during the week.
Higbee Beach
Higbee Beach serves as mostly a wildlife management area but stands out with its beach area to visit. The huge location not only has ample room to sit out by the beach, but it’s also a great spot to see some Cape May wildlife. Crabs scurry around the rocky sand, native birds fly through the sky, and dolphins swim close to the shore. It’s also dog-friendly if your canine companion wants to tag along!
Hanging Out by the Pool
The Stockton Inn offers outdoor amenities, including a refreshing onsite pool, ocean view veranda, lounge chairs, and a barbecue grill. Take in the summer sun for a relaxing swim at our pool!
