Start your trip with fun for the whole family at Cape May County Park & Zoo. Explore the exhibits to learn about endangered species, grab a bite to eat, and take a leisurely stroll around the lake. Don’t miss the African Savanna exhibit, which hosts giraffes, zebras, and more.
Head to Cape May Lighthouse and climb up its 199 stairs to take in breathtaking ocean views from the top. From there, go to Sunset Beach to relax, spot dolphins, and search for Cape May’s famous “diamonds”. These glittering bits of quartz wash up on shore and make for great souvenirs.
Explore the quaint shops at Washington Street Mall, where you can find unique gifts, treats, and souvenirs. Afterwards, take a short drive over to Cape May Winery & Vineyard to sample their award-winning wines while the children enjoy the outdoor games and activities.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Historic Cold Spring Village or taking a dolphin-watching tour. For a shorter trip, you could skip visiting Washington Street Mall or add another beach day at Wildwood or Stone Harbor. Make sure to check opening times and make reservations where necessary.
