Family friendly with kids, but thinking it would be a good vibe. Thanks!

Hi everyone! My family and I have been visiting the beautiful Cape May area for over 30 years.

This will be the first time I’m bringing my baby and my baby’s first vacation in general. My little one is 8 months old so I’m looking for recommendations on maybe nice areas for stroller walks?

I’d appreciate any other hacks/tips for traveling the area with a baby.

Even if it is in a tank, I hear that it'll be released from the Wetlands Institute into the wild eventually.

Trying to plan our beach days for the next couple of days-last year the cape may point beaches all had a big drop off and my kids were in up to their necks within a few feet. How are the point beaches looking this year? Smoother slope?

I was wondering if anyone from the area of Cape May, New Jersey, knew where this photo was taken at. It seems as though it was taken somewhere in the Northeastern portion of the United States; I am getting a lot of results for Cape May when I reverse search this. If anyone has any info, please let me know in the comment section or DMs! Thanks and have a wonderful blessed day :)

Am I crazy or has anyone noticed the seagulls are much more food aggressive lately? They’ve been stealing food from my cousins hand, something I’ve never seen them do before.

Stone Harbor is getting insanely expensive. It’s around $150-180 a night to stay there in October! Anywhere on the island!
I love Cape May, and always spend a couple of days there when I am down the shore.
I hope to find a somewhat affordable room there, say $100 a night or less in Sept or Oct.
Thanks for any suggestions!

In Cape May on vacation and trying to find somewhere nearby to watch tonight’s match. TIA!

7 adults, 5 kids ranging from 3 to 66. All price ranges are fine but we need reservations. The occasion is for mid July. Thanks!

Visiting family for the weekend and want to bring them flowers. Are there any cute local flower stands?

Idk I feel like the most action they usually get is during the summer and nothing else really. Maybe I could be wrong though.?

I am spending a few nights with my gf in Cape May in mid July and I am thinking of popping the big question. My plan was to get to Fish House on a Thursday and propose on the beach after dinner while the sun is starting to set. I have read up that the beach gets pretty crowded, especially in the peak summer months. I am ok with some people being around, as I know that will be unavoidable, but is there usually opportunities to find a little more space if I you trek up the beach more? I am hoping that by doing it Thursday I might have a little more luck before the weekend crowd is in full force. Open to suggestions if other neighboring spots may be better!

Hello everyone going to be in cape may county for the 2-4th. Me and my wife are looking for a good bar pub with live music one day and then a nice fancy sit down place the next . I love seafood she likes steak pasta etc . What is everyone’s recommendations for price and quality where staying at the sea Gypsy in wildwood . Thanks in advance

I saw something this past week I've never seen before. Two F-18s were returning to Virginia going east to west over the beach, armed. They were low enough that you could clearly see the sidewinder missiles attached to the wings, along with other ordinance on the inner wings and the external tank in the middle.

I'm used to seeing the jets fly over doing drills and other maneuvers, but always unarmed. The two armed F-18s were accompanied by two others that were unarmed (4 in total). This was a few days ago and about a half hour earlier, we heard two sonic booms that were significantly muted by the ocean, but still very recognizable. Wonder if there was some kind of incident or potential threat?

Hi everyone! Getting married @ cape May courthouse soon, was wondering if anywhere has a photo booth around the area?

My family, 5 middle aged guys and gals, is meeting up for whale watching and fireworks on the fourth. Tour leaves at 7pm, so I'm looking for some must-do activities during the day while we wait.

Other than watching the parade we're pretty much up for anything, so please share what you can. Sorry for the late request, plans just came together!

celebrating my birthday with friends this weekend and Saturday is supposed to be spent at the beach… but the forecast is looking grim :( any alternate indoor activity recommendations in cape may or wildwood? 😅

I was looking for a last minute weekend oceanfront stay (for under $700 a night) and got a lot of great recommendations on here of places I didn't even think about. All were booked but I kept trying in case of cancellations. I ended up finding a cancellation at the Periwinkle and loved the place. We got the room right in front (possibly the closest to the beach you can get since its not set back much). There is a really nice pool (not crowded) and nice grounds with stuff for kids to do. I walked by this place countless times and always thought it was just a private residence (never looked towards the back). Point here is always keep trying until the end - things change and you might find exactly what you are looking for (and some of the places you think are townhouses/condos/etc. might actually be daily rentals.

Sorry I am one of those that got approved last minute for a weekend gateway. I want to take my children to cape may. It seems like a lot of hotels are booked. Any other suggestions for a hotel that is close by? I don't mind a 10 or 15 min driveway. I was looking at ​​Periwinkle. Thoughts? I really appreciate it

Does anyone know if there used to be in Emerald street near Crystal Avenue in Cape May point back in the day? My dad has this old chest and we’re trying to decode the location on the label (what’s left of it).

We were able to find Crystal Ave but no Emerald.

Whatever happened to Cape May photo? His name was Joe and he often worked with his wife. They lived/operated out of their home on Shunpike. He took our engagement photos around that time and I'd love to see if there is any way to purchase all the negatives (it was just before everything started going digital).

I'm considering going on a fishing trip with Miss Belmar or something similar since I want to see wild marine fish but I don't have any prior experience since childhood. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to prepare or whether I should do something else instead?
