About Cape May Beach NJ
Cape May Beach offers some of the warmest and calmest waters on the Jersey Shore, fed by the Delaware Bay's sheltered currents, making it ideal for swimming and wading families. The Victorian architecture of the historic town frames pristine sandy shores backed by charming beachfront promenades, while the proximity to Cape May Point's nature preserves and lighthouse provides excellent opportunities for birding and scenic walks. The atmosphere strikes a balance between relaxed, family-friendly leisure and low-key exploration, drawing visitors seeking a more genteel shore experience than the busier Atlantic-facing beaches.

This past July I got to experience Cape May for the very first time w group of friends for a week long vaca. The beach is absolute heaven though I will say because we stayed at the nearby Ohana Beach Resort we already had the day tags so did not have to deal with any of the purchasing. I love that those of us at the nearby hotels would set up the umbrellas early in the AM & lay claim to the spots closest to the water. This beach is large & though it def looks crowded it never felt it. There were singles, couples, families, lil babies, teenagers - you name it -- I saw it. But everyone is very respectful of one another, no loud music, no loud noise, great life guards - just a lovely peaceful beach where you can enjoy the water. Can't wait to go back!
Nice location, but overpriced and poorly managed. Cape May Beach has beautiful views, but the experience was disappointing overall. They charge for everything β entrance per person, beach chairs, umbrellas β and yet offer none of the basic amenities youβd expect. No toilets, no showers, nothing. For the price, youβd think theyβd provide at least the essentials. Definitely not worth the cost.
Very clean beach. Soft sand. Very relaxing. My mom and dad are from Brasil and they love it. They can't wait to spend the day here. Family friendly. $10.00 for day pass per adult. There are $40.00 season passes and weekly passes. Definitely worth it. I do the day passes.
The oldest beach community in the US. Clean quite, family πͺ friendly. The views are amazing and the residents take care of their community. The beach is well maintained and the access to the beach in the summer one must purchase a beach tag. It's worth the price. Great waves amazing sunsets. It's a little pricey but worth the trip
This beach is always very nice! The water is great, life guards are always very atent. Love this place! Great for families, as mine has been coming here for nearly 20 years.
