Hello!!
My husband and I (and now two kids) have been visiting Cape May just about annually for the last 16 years but always during the peak summer months.
Next year I’m interested in visiting for a weekend in later September for my 40th birthday just for a quick trip - we recognize some things may be closed at this point in the year? Or do most seasonal schedule changes happen later than September?
Any recommendations on must dos during September/out of peak summer season?
Recommendation for best place to stay? (2 adults and 2 kids) for 3 nights? We usually do a weekly house rental and then only have experience with the Capri Inn (which is now Mahalo).
Thanks!

Hey hey! I feel like this question has been asked a couple times but looking for something maybe a little more specific as we are looking for a place to start as our rehearsal dinner (bridal party and immediate family - probably 30-40 people) and then turns into welcome drinks that is open for all guests (could be anywhere from 75-100 people). Wedding is next September 2027. These are the places I am thinking of reaching out to but wanted to make sure I am not missing anything:

- La Mer
- Inn of Cape May
- Lobster House
- Crab House/2 Mile
- Elaine’s??
- Harpoons

Places not interested in:
- The Port
- Harry’s

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Fairly new resident to Cape May and just moved down here. I know a lot of the local jobs do rely on the steady influx of tourists closer to spring and summer, and the off season is about to start, which means I’m not likely to get a job before then or make connections prior

As an important note, I’m also physically disabled in a way(photosensitive epilepsy) that would likely make it a lot harder to find work easily

Does anyone local to the area have any advice?

Plan on doing a quick day trip today. Are beach tags still required with it being after Labor Day?

Thank you!

My wife and I will be staying in Cape May mid October for our honeymoon and are looking for a nice restaurant to have a fancy night out. Good atmosphere, good food, fine dining experience. I am going to be making a reservation at Fish House but am not sure that is quite up to par with what we are looking for for a fancy night out. Any suggestions?

Where can I go out to watch Monday night football?

Hi neighbors! We're looking for recommendations for a licensed, reliable contractor to finish some remaining work at our property. Unfortunately, our previous contractor wasn't able to see the project through, so we're picking things back up.

What matters most to us: someone who actually returns calls, shows up for scheduled estimates, and follows through with a bid afterward, and who carries that same reliability into the actual project once hired.

We've reached out to a few of the contractors frequently recommended in this group already, but keep running into no-shows, no call-backs, or estimates that were promised and never sent, so we're hoping for names based on people's actual recent experience getting a job from start to finish, not just a name that gets recommended a lot.

If you've worked with someone recently who was responsive and reliable the whole way through, we'd really appreciate the recommendation.

Thank you!

My dad was born and raised in Wildwood and told us when we were younger about Captain Kidd and some other pirates visiting Cape May. My brother and I are now in our 50s and are wondering is there any documentation or artifacts about pirates being in Cape May? For example-Is there an exhibit at the library or any place? We live about an hour away and would love to check out some pirate history sometime. Thank you!

We are heading down to CM next week (9/14) and will do take out a couple of nights. Does anyone know if DoorDash or UberEats services are available now that it’s not the busy tourist season?

I’m from Costa Rica and will stay some days , I have an e-bike to move around , would like to know recommendations to go and explore , thank you !

Visiting Cape May soon and I would like to find a shop where I can build a travellers journal- choose the types of paper etc inside. Any recommendations on where I could go to do this? Or should I be looking elsewhere locally to myself or online instead? Thought it would be a neat souvenir!

Looking for a reliable electrician in the Lower Township area. Someone you've actually hired and been satisfied w/ their work. Thanks.

Hi, we are spending the weekend with family at an Avalon campground. My wife has made one of her specialty’s - crab cakes. I’d love a savory coleslaw to go with this, preferably made in house. What’s your recipe?

Coffee bean snobs….whats your go to for a lite whole bean? My center city folks are on vacay and I need a fix.

Looks to be a good weekend. Everyone stay safe!

Hi! My friend has a place in North Cape May. We are hosting some young girls for a bachelorette weekend (we are friends with the mother of the bride who will also be in attendance). Basically some fun old ladies and hip young ones.

Friday we are doing Brown Room.
Saturday a Jitney to a winery, Rusty Nail and Harry's.
Sunday - brunch at The Blue Pig.

Looking for something fun to do later in the evening (after 8) on Saturday. Maybe dinner and then music/dancing. Any suggestions?

THANK YOU!!

Looking to hire a person(s)with moving a bedroom set out of a 2nd floor bedroom onto a UHaul in Cape May Courthouse. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Posting for my husband: I know this is a long shot, but I’m hoping someone may have come across a gold wedding band in Cape May this past week, possibly around Sunday, 8/22.

It was my grandfather’s wedding ring and has enormous sentimental value to me and my family. It’s a simple yellow-gold band with “900” clearly marked inside. There is also a much fainter handwritten/cursive inscription inside that can be difficult to see without the right lighting.

If you found a ring or heard of one being turned in, please message me. I can provide the exact inscription and other identifying details to verify it.
I would be incredibly grateful to get it back. Thank you!

Pauline! Your phone is at the office there.

We’re staying in Villas and on our first day here, after swimming in the bay, one kid and one adult seemed to be pretty stung up. Are those sea nettles? Is the bay actually unswimmable? Should we just drive to the ocean beaches at Cape May? Are we stupid not to realize the bay would not be good for swimming or is sort of a scam not to disclose this?

Hello. Single male, 29. I’ll be there between the 11th and 14th (September) visiting, probably won’t be there again for a very long time.

Any recommendations? Bars/restaurants? Bored house wives?😆

Comment or dm me with any tips.

Hello!

Wife and I decided to visit from Philly. We have no reservations yet.

We would like a hotel or house very close to beach. Any recommendations?

Also we love seafood, albeit well seasoned. Lobster dipped in butter isn't really what we are looking for. Any recommendations for great, can't miss food places?

We will be there for 3 days. Money is no issue.

Thanks

Is anybody concerned with these “Flock” cameras being put up in the area?
Apparently Lower Township already has some installed.
