Cape May is where Victorian charm meets breezy coastal adventure. As one of America’s oldest seaside resort towns, this iconic destination blends history, culture, beaches, shopping, dining, and unforgettable sunsets—making it a perfect getaway whether you’re planning a family trip, a romantic escape, or a solo day of wandering. Stroll beneath gas lamps, explore gingerbread-style architecture, visit award-winning restaurants, hit pristine beaches, or discover nature at Cape May Point and the lighthouse. Cape May feels timeless, tranquil, and endlessly photogenic.
With the Cape May–Lewes Ferry docking right at the Cape May Terminal, getting here is half the fun. Whether you’re sailing in from Delaware for the day or beginning your coastal vacation in New Jersey, your trip starts with ocean breezes, maybe a dolphin sighting, and a relaxing 85-minute ride across the Delaware Bay.
Getting to Cape May is easy—and arriving by Ferry makes it even better. If you’re traveling from Delaware, Maryland, or points south, the Ferry offers a scenic, traffic-free alternative to the Garden State Parkway bridges and congestion. Walk on, bike on, or drive on and enjoy a smooth crossing right into Cape May’s waterfront terminal.
