What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Cape May?

During these peak summer months, you'll find the town bustling with activity, offering a lively option that many families and couples seek. The boardwalk is in full swing, and all the charming shops and restaurants are open with extended hours. It's a fantastic time for outdoor activities like dolphin watching tours or simply strolling along the promenade.

As another option, June presents a wonderful alternative. The weather is still beautifully warm, with average temperatures around 23°C, making it ideal for beach days and exploring the historic district.
What beach activities should we do in Cape May?
The best beach activities in Cape May revolve around its beautiful coastline and the natural environment, offering a mix of relaxation and gentle adventure.

For those looking to simply unwind, spending a day on the main Cape May Public Beach is perfect. This wide, sandy stretch along Beach Avenue is ideal for sunbathing, swimming in the Atlantic, or building sandcastles. It's easily accessible from many of the town's accommodations and is well-maintained, providing a classic seaside experience. Couples looking for a quiet day together will appreciate the ample space and serene atmosphere.

Families often gravitate towards the beaches near the Cove, at the western end of Beach Avenue, close to Cape May Point. The waters here are generally calmer, making it suitable for younger children. It's also a popular spot for collecting seashells and observing shorebirds. The nearby Cape May Lighthouse offers a different perspective on the coastline after a day on the sand.

For a more active beach experience, consider kayaking or paddleboarding, especially in the calmer waters of Delaware Bay, accessible from areas like Higbee Beach. These activities allow you to explore the coastline from a different vantage point and are a nice way to enjoy the water without the hustle and bustle of the main oceanfront.
