r/CapeMay

Looks like this weekend is gonna rain. What can I do with my kids in Cape may. Possibly indoors?

Hi all. Does anyone here have any contact information for Cape Meadows 55 and up community? I have googled, searched instagram and Facebook to try to find an email or phone number for their office. I’ve also emailed various realtors of the properties that are currently for sale and I have not received a response (you’d figure someone would email me back if they’re actually trying to sell the properties). I’m trying to obtain a copy of the community rules as numerous property listings state you have to abide by these rules and ownership of the property is pending until approval by Cape Meadows community. I currently live about 80 minutes away and am tempted to just show up and hope there is an office on site and I can obtain a copy of these rules in person-Worst case scenario I’ll just have to take myself out to lunch if I can’t find anyone 🙃but in all seriousness I’m trying to accomplish something here. Thank you!

This is just a rant.

The flies that inhabit our beaches are tools of evil.

That is all.

My family and I are heading down to Cape May in two weeks for our annual family vacation, and we're thinking about trying something new this year. We sometimes go crabbing, where we rent a boat and crabbing gear and spend the day out on the water, but we're debating whether to do that again or try whale watching or deep-sea fishing instead.

I've seen some mixed opinions about the whale watching and heard that it may not be worth it, but I'm really curious about the deep-sea fishing. Has anyone here done it? I'd love to hear your experiences and whether you thought it was worth it, how much you caught, whether it was fun, and what the overall vibe is like on the boat.

Thanks!

I see the rules on the jitney page say Emotional Support animals are allowed on the jitney. Does anyone have any insight into how this plays out in practice? We're here for a week with our well behaved city dog and would love tips for getting around.

I am aware of all of the places dogs are not permitted (promenade, beaches washington st, bandstand, etc) so thanks in advance for not reminding me!

Planning a trip to the Jersey Shore for the September long weekend with my husband and trying to decide between staying in Cape May or Wildwood.

-How is parking in Cape May? Is it difficult to find parking, especially on a long weekend?

-Would you recommend staying somewhere with included parking, or is street/public parking manageable?

-Any particular areas/hotels you’d recommend for a first-time visit?

We’re mainly looking for a relaxing weekend with good food, walking around, beach time, and things to do. Thanks!

Just saw that Cape May passed new ordinances including an 8 PM beach curfew for anyone under 18 unless accompanied by an adult, as well as restrictions on larger bags/containers on the beach after 8 PM. There’s also a 10:30 PM citywide curfew for anyone under 18 unless they’re accompanied by an adult.
I was down there earlier in the summer and noticed an increase in juveniles walking around, but nothing crazy going on. Does anyone know what happened recently that prompted Cape May to put these rules into effect? Was there a particular incident, or has there been an ongoing problem this summer that I just didn’t notice?

I have a day trip with my mom and 16 year old nephew coming up next weekend. We were trying to scope out some things we wanted to do. I believe the bus drops us off at Washington st so we can explore around there, any good places to eat there? Also we were thinking of ubering to the lighthouse and sunset beach area. We will only be there about 11-5. So any other insight or things to do around us is appreciated :)

Any suggestions for delivery or take out when I'm feeling lazy? Especially down West Cape May area. Thx!

Gf and I are looking into a last-minute weekend trip in September and we're debating between the weekend of the 11th and the weekend of the 18th. I've been to the beaches here after Labor Day when there's still lifeguards but I don't know if either weekends will be too late. This is surprisingly hard to google, any insight is appreciated.
