Ever wonder what it feels like being suspended about 450 feet about the water and taking in all the views that Cape May County and Atlantic County has to offer? You can find out by strapping yourself in a parasail and taking off. It is truly a feeling like no other. Parasailing has become very popular at the Jersey Shore in past years because it is loved by the young and old alike. Many families share this experience together because it takes little effort and only some bravery to soar high above the water. But the rewards are extreme. You can find parasailing up and down the beach resorts all along the Jersey Shore. From Cape May and Wildwood to Beach Haven and Barnaget Bay, tourist and locals are all enjoying the pleasure of soaring above the waters and taking in the views of the coast. Prices vary, but the average price ranges from $70 to $90 per session and the length of time you soar is usually about 15 minutes. For adventure and family fun, try parasailing. You’ll be glad you did it.

THE JERSEY CAPE

Joe — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:57:08 +0000

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!

Ocean City New Jersey: A Dry Town

Ryan — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:20:22 +0000

Ocean City, located only twenty-five miles north of the Southern point of New Jersey is a “Family” town that invites vacationers from all over the country. This town, which is proud to be a “Dry” town, keeps the party atmosphere to a minimum. The law which makes Ocean City a town that does not sell alcohol has come up for a vote several times, but every time it stays the same.

Although there are no bars or restaurants that sell alcohol, there are liquor stores located at the foot of the bridge on the other side of the city, including a “Super” Liquor store, which is a huge warehouse near the 34th Street Bridge.

Vacationers are welcome to bring alcohol to their weekly rentals and enjoy their vacation. But the citizens of Ocean City feel that without the element of alcohol readily available, it makes Ocean City one of just a few towns along the Jersey Shore that does not have to deal with rowdy bars, and unruly visitors who are inebriated.

Many would think that this law would discourage the young from visiting, which is very untrue. Many teenagers come to Ocean City during high school, college, and end up bringing their families down once they reach the age of marriage and children. Generation after generation visits this Family Friendly town. Come back to Ocean City, again and again.
