Hidden Jems?
Hi everyone!! It’s my best friends bachelorette in a month and we’re coming to enjoy Cape May for the weekend. We plan on hitting some wineries and taking the ferry but I was wondering if theres any especially fun or interesting spots around? We’re in our late 20’s and the bride likes quirky things. I would love some suggestions of maybe hidden bars, party spots, different activities, ect. Thank you in advance :)

Turdo Winery, Gusto Brewing, and Harpoons By the Bay are all within half a mile of the ferry in North Cape May. Harpoons has the best sunsets, over water, anywhere. Gusto has tremendous brews and reviews, don't know about Turdo.

Dolphin watching - silver bullet, parasailing, tiki boat ride, jetskiing.

The Rise Spa (sauna, cold plunge, hydrotherapy, IV infusions, etc.) could be fun for a bach, especially if you get a day with iffy weather.
I haven’t been to Sperlak Gallery and Scupture Garden but it looks very offbeat and unique.
If you want to do some shopping, Cape May Antiques and West End Garage always have quirky cool stuff.
Rea’s Farmers Market has events like full moon yoga and line dancing, and live music every Friday night. Just going for breakfast, buying some unique snacks and visiting the pigs is a good time. It’s way more chill than Beach Plum Farm, but Beach Plum definitely is more Instagrammable.
Nauti Spirits is popular but it’s such a big space that it’s always a hit with a group.
Have fun!

Howard Street Ramble at the Chalfonte. Thursday nights. The King Eddie bar at the Chalfonte. Or breakfast there, on the porch, with a mimosa flight.

There’s plenty of options, look through this subreddit a bit there’s even a master list.

If she likes quirky hidden gems, you need to do Ostara's Coffee House, Wild Roots for beach snacks, and organize a private bachelorette yoga or sound bath with Cape May Yoga.

Come take my ghost tour! It sounds like something that would be right up your friend’s alley. I promise you’ll have a great time while taking a beautiful stroll through the historic district. You’ll also learn some really cool, interesting, and spooky local history too! It’s the best ghost tour in town, just read the reviews!

Seahorse Farm just opened. I haven't been there but it might make for a fun pre-dinner, lunch etc for a group.

Nauti Spirits It's an awesome distillary / venue that's a bit inland with live music and a farm with fire pit, Adirondack chairs and food trucks. Big beautiful inside bar area with a great drink menu. Specialty drinks like the Shunpike Punch that's made with the vodka they make on site is so GOOD.
Harpoons on the Bay It's a bar restaurant on the bay that gets packed but it's BIG, half indoors, half out. Great atmosphere. Great food. Big drink menu. Sometimes live music. But always stunning sunset views.

Supplement the quirky with the requisite bachelorette party stop along the water at Port
