This is where the lighthouse is and there is a beautiful beach and it's great for bird watching and you'll see a bunker on the beach.

What does Cape May point offer ecologically?

Rendell Amilcar | Nov 1, 2019
Marty Michener | Nov 1, 2019

During fall bird migration, Cape May becomes the tip of the funnel, with large concentrations of song bird species filling up on food before crossing the bay waters. It also provides a haven for southern Woody plants in NJ, as all winter it is kept warm by breezes off the salt water to East and to West

I saw someone doing it. Dont recall any signs saying you can't. I'd say go for it and beg for forgiveness later. But i doubt it's a problem.

Is there camping grounds

Bridget Franklin | Nov 1, 2018
FSA DRONE | Nov 1, 2018

Many , With Various Costs and Benefits. Depending on your Budget Beachcomber Is costly but offers a lot amenities, or you can go cheaper stay at some of the state parks within miles of any beach town from Ocean City, NJ which is a dry town if you're not looking for the hassle of that atmosphere more family friendly. Cape May Offers A lot of historic Value along with Antique Shops So it all depends on what yourself is looking to do when at the shore... Bellaplain is miles from wildwood ,cape may ocean city just 20 min drive to most this is a state ran campground so less amenities but better for the budget after all we dont go to the shore to hang in the campgrounds. Cape May Park Zoo just opened adventure park and zip lines to their attraction. Zoo is free. So you have a lot of choices but it all depends on what you're looking for and what you want to do with your vacation.
