On the way back from the Sunset Beach you can let the kids climb the Lighthouse for free or the can take a tour of the Cape May World War II spotting tower.

We love to tour the quiet back streets of Cape May Point and take a ride under the lighthouse or check out the local birding at Cape May Point State Park.

Cape May offers the best Bed and Breakfast Inns on the East Coast with several Select Registry properties. We recommend and enjoy the Queen Victoria, The Southern Mansion, The Bayberry Inn and we love the view of the Beach from the Peter Shields inn on Beach Avenue in Cape May.
10. Visit the Cape May County Zoo located on Route 9 only five miles or a 10 minute drive from the center of Cape May, New Jersey. Plan for a day outdoors with some walking for about two hour stay, pack your lunch or eat at the Zoo. The park has many shaded stations to stop and rest and comfortable concession areas.
