THE JERSEY CAPE

The Jersey Cape is the southernmost tip of New Jersey. The Jersey Cape is also known as Cape May County and has multiple things to offer to tourists. Cape May County is a peninsula that stretches south with the Atlantic Ocean on the east side and the Delaware Bay on the west. The beach resorts have been very popular since the 1800’s and they consist of vacation towns Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, the Wildwoods, and Cape May.

The Jersey Cape has 30 miles of beaches and five main bridges connect them all. Not only will you find pristine beaches, you will also find a wonderland of forests, wetlands, and dunes. There are many protected wildlife areas on the Cape. The wetlands along both Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Coast are a haven for migrating birds.

Along the six beachfront towns, you will find more amusement rides than Disneyland. In Ocean City and Wildwood, you will find the boardwalks the way they were in yesteryear, with restaurants, shops, games of chance, neon lights, and everything that brings you back to a different era. Sea Isle City brought back rides that use to be a major attraction to this resort town. Although the location has changed, (near the main bridge entering Sea Isle), the fun is still the same.

Historians are thrilled to find a rare collection of Victorian Homes. You can find them in most Beach resort towns at the Jersey Cape, but Cape May is by far one of the most impressive collection of Victorian homes in the world. With over 600 authentically restored and preserved Victorian homes, Cape May always celebrates this rare find with Victorian Week, Culinary Week, and a Christmas celebration with a Victorian Flare.

For those who are athletes at heart, The Jersey Cape offers many outdoor activities. From Kayaking to surfing to fishing to golfing, there is something for everyone and anyone who wants to be outdoors. Dozens of Marathons, Triathlons, and walks are sponsored each year along The Jersey Cape.

The Jersey Cape has something for everyone. Take the time to come and enjoy everything it has to offer!
