30 miles of virtually unlimited surfcasting...
Surfcasting is virtually unlimited along the 30
miles of Cape May County ocean beaches.
No license is needed. In the summer
months, anglers must avoid bathing beaches
during Guard hours (generally 9am to 6pm).
Beach Patrol Guards are law officers.
Fishing from boardwalks, promenades, pavilions &
other crowded areas is prohibited and
communities with Beach Fees will want you to buy
a badge. But basically it's as simple as
finding an uncrowded beach or jetty & casting
your line into the surf.
Beach Vehicles
No vehicles are permitted on the beaches from
mid-May to mid-September. During the off
season, however, you may obtain a Police Permit
& drive onto the beach at certain locations.
Speed limit is 15mph and four-wheel drive is
usually required. Stay near the high-water
line, away from the dunes. No fires,
picnics, litter, etc. & watch your hooks!
Accessories needed include: Tow rope, Jack
& board, Inflated spare, Shovel, Working fire
extinguisher, Operable flashlight and First Aid
Kit.
Recreation
Vehicles
Full use of your RV is restricted to licensed
Campgrounds on the mainland. Don't cook,
eat, sleep or change clothes in an RV, or
un-hitch & park a trailer, anywhere else.
If you park at a meter, feed meters for all
spaces used.

Many marinas have ramps & marine lifts, the
