Jersey Cape
Pack up the Mini Van and Head
for Cape May County, New Jersey
It's time to plan a vacation and everyone in the family has a different idea about what to do. Mom and Dad want to go somewhere to relax, enjoy a cultural experience, take in the excitement and glamour of the casinos and, possibly, even spend a day on the links. The kids, well, they want to play golf, too- the miniature kind- and they definitely want to visit a theme park and a zoo. Plus, everyone in the family thinks a vacation isn't really a vacation without a trip to the beach.
If this sounds like your vacation wish list, then pack up the mini van and head for Cape May County and discover the treasures at New Jersey’s southern-most county.
Situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, Cape May County, New Jersey — referred to as the Jersey Cape—invites visitors to enjoy the natural beauty, pristine beaches, picturesque bays and waterways.

Boredom is not an option and relaxation is a choice on a vacation here. An entire vacation could be spent sunning and splashing on any of the pristine beaches from Ocean City south to Cape May Point. The beaches along the Jersey Cape vary, from quiet, out-of-the-way strands to vast and busy beaches crowded with families enjoying the sand and surf.
Nowhere else will you find a place like a South Jersey Boardwalk that excites the senses quite the way they do here.
