r/CapeMay

Hi everyone! My family and I have been visiting the beautiful Cape May area for over 30 years.

This will be the first time I’m bringing my baby and my baby’s first vacation in general. My little one is 8 months old so I’m looking for recommendations on maybe nice areas for stroller walks?

I’d appreciate any other hacks/tips for traveling the area with a baby.

Trying to plan our beach days for the next couple of days-last year the cape may point beaches all had a big drop off and my kids were in up to their necks within a few feet. How are the point beaches looking this year? Smoother slope?

Am I crazy or has anyone noticed the seagulls are much more food aggressive lately? They’ve been stealing food from my cousins hand, something I’ve never seen them do before.

Stone Harbor is getting insanely expensive. It’s around $150-180 a night to stay there in October! Anywhere on the island!
I love Cape May, and always spend a couple of days there when I am down the shore.
I hope to find a somewhat affordable room there, say $100 a night or less in Sept or Oct.
Thanks for any suggestions!

7 adults, 5 kids ranging from 3 to 66. All price ranges are fine but we need reservations. The occasion is for mid July. Thanks!

Visiting family for the weekend and want to bring them flowers. Are there any cute local flower stands?

Hello everyone going to be in cape may county for the 2-4th. Me and my wife are looking for a good bar pub with live music one day and then a nice fancy sit down place the next . I love seafood she likes steak pasta etc . What is everyone’s recommendations for price and quality where staying at the sea Gypsy in wildwood . Thanks in advance

Idk I feel like the most action they usually get is during the summer and nothing else really. Maybe I could be wrong though.?

I am spending a few nights with my gf in Cape May in mid July and I am thinking of popping the big question. My plan was to get to Fish House on a Thursday and propose on the beach after dinner while the sun is starting to set. I have read up that the beach gets pretty crowded, especially in the peak summer months. I am ok with some people being around, as I know that will be unavoidable, but is there usually opportunities to find a little more space if I you trek up the beach more? I am hoping that by doing it Thursday I might have a little more luck before the weekend crowd is in full force. Open to suggestions if other neighboring spots may be better!

I saw something this past week I've never seen before. Two F-18s were returning to Virginia going east to west over the beach, armed. They were low enough that you could clearly see the sidewinder missiles attached to the wings, along with other ordinance on the inner wings and the external tank in the middle.

I'm used to seeing the jets fly over doing drills and other maneuvers, but always unarmed. The two armed F-18s were accompanied by two others that were unarmed (4 in total). This was a few days ago and about a half hour earlier, we heard two sonic booms that were significantly muted by the ocean, but still very recognizable. Wonder if there was some kind of incident or potential threat?

celebrating my birthday with friends this weekend and Saturday is supposed to be spent at the beach… but the forecast is looking grim :( any alternate indoor activity recommendations in cape may or wildwood? 😅

Hi everyone! Getting married @ cape May courthouse soon, was wondering if anywhere has a photo booth around the area?

My family, 5 middle aged guys and gals, is meeting up for whale watching and fireworks on the fourth. Tour leaves at 7pm, so I'm looking for some must-do activities during the day while we wait.

Other than watching the parade we're pretty much up for anything, so please share what you can. Sorry for the late request, plans just came together!
