cape may beaches

Beaches are great! Clean and spacious. We went on the shoulder season (Sept) when the water was still warm. Love the area.

Try getting away from the crowds.. we found a little cooler was okay.. Higby Beach is great any season.

Another interesting location of historical significance. Not only is this a perfect place to watch the sun set, as many do, it is also a place to see the shipwreck of a concrete ship sticking out of the water. The name of the ship and its history are well explained on a sign. This is worth reading. The beach is also covered in ocean quartz stones or Cape May Diamonds.

Brrr - it was cold - the beach with the light house was excellent. The day we went, a local nature club was releasing a pair of falcons - great luck.

We had never been to cape may. What a wonderful surprise! Clean family oriented beautiful beach. The people are so nice. We will be back this coming summer!

Best beaches for family. Lots of attentive lifeguards, no deep drop offs and plenty of gorgeous sand.

It was cold and I'm sure it's a nice beach but my time was limited in walking there. I walked mostly in neighborhoods. It rained too.

Compared to the others, such as Ocean City MD and other Northeastern beaches. This belongs in top 15 beaches of USA.

NJ beaches are the best no matter where you go. Cape May is no different. Beaches are clean, and the lots of room for when there is a crowd, and have lifegaurds during the summer months.

A relaxing, clean beach with lifeguards. The sand is soft and well maintained and the town is well worth the visit: very good restaurants, historic B&B's, lighthouse, a wide variety of activities and the best part is boardwalk is NOT filled with rides, bars, and stands. It's unique.

Cape May is so worth visiting because it's such a beautiful town. It has one of the cleanest beaches that's not overcrowded, great restaurants, shopping, and nice hotel and bed and breakfast. My friends parents own The Mansy and its a beautiful Victorian Bed and Breakfast. I just like walking around their town so pretty!!!

Best beaches around. Soft sand miles of beaches. Many places to eat, and drink. Only negative is needing beach passes for many of the areas.

Even tho it was freezing we had a great walk on the beautiful beach. Dressing warmly helped, but we could have been warmer!

The beaches in cape may are perfect. Nice smooth sand, very big beaches and not too packed, reasonable access price and possibility of free parking close by. Water was warm (we usually go to Cape Cod where it is close to 60F, Cape May was around 75F), no seaweed and you can see dolphins swimming afar.Really worth the drive.

I've heard so much about the beauty of Cape May, NJ. I was going to visit there with my family in June 2015, but I accidentally came across something called "Beach Tags". So I called the Cape May Chamber of Commerce to see what they are. I got the shock of my life. You have to PAY $7.00 per day, per person to have access to their beaches. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am from the great state of Virginia and I guarantee that does not fly with below Cape May NJ. It would be shot down with many shot guns.So Cape May has lost what would have been my first visit to Cape May, NJ.
