The walkway is flat and wide with some inclines. This is a kid-friendly experience, but be careful when it’s windy! Hats can easily blow off with no way to retrieve them.

The park is next to Cape May Elementary School. If you plan to walk the trails, keep in mind no dogs are permitted (though service dogs are okay). Bikes aren’t allowed on the trails, but there is a bike rack at the entrance.

Birding by Boat on the Osprey is a birding and wildlife tour of the coastal salt marsh behind Cape May and the Wildwoods. All of our trips depart from the Miss Chris Marina at 1212 Wilson Dr. in Cape May.

Birding By Boat On the Osprey is the premier nature cruise in Cape May.  Nowhere else can you get such a close-up look at the birds and marine life that inhabit the salt marsh that lie behind the barrier islands. Trips are led by Captain Bob who has 45 years of experience in these back bays and operates these trips daily for up to 8 months of every year.  Along with our crew of highly experienced naturalists we will show you the marsh like no one else can. Every single trip is different as the birds are continually changing through migration and as the new chicks start to mature. We will take the time to show you birds feed, nesting and any other activities that we may come across. We aren’t just out there for a few days a week and for a couple  of months of the year. These cruises are highly interactive and adapted to the group that we have aboard. This is a great activity for children of all ages and we have many items that we carry onboard to check out during our trips. I hope that you will come out and join us for a trip so that we can show you this area that is not frequently visited, but is a huge part of the coastal ecosystem of the Jersey Shore. We look forward to seeing you onboard.

For more information on what we are seeing currently, call 609-898-3500 for a direct line to the Captain.

Cape May’s Dog Park offers a fenced recreation area for your canine friends. Inside you’ll find a water station, waste bags, trash receptacles, a gazebo, and seating for the humans. A double gate ensures no escapes and can help with introductions.

Park access requires a license, which you can apply for at the Cape May City Clerk’s office in City Hall. To apply, make sure you bring the following:

• Proof of a current rabies vaccination from your vet (you’ll need the paperwork, not just the rabies tag)
• Proof of your dog’s current registration with the city or municipality where you live (again, the paperwork itself; the City won’t accept a tag)

Sunset Beach is free to visit year-round. There is on-site parking, but the lot can be crowded during the summer.

In season, Sunset Beach is home to an evening flag ceremony. Learn more on Sunset Beach Gift Shop’s website

On your way here, you’ll pass Fire Tower 23

A city park on Madison Avenue, located across from the Cape May water tower. The park has a large duck pond, gazebo, a covered picnic area, picnic benches, a half-court basketball court, playground, and green space for running around.

There’s an entrance to the park from Madison Avenue, just past the Inn at the Park. Look for a narrow asphalt road with a split-rail fence to its right. That’s Leroy’s Lane. Kiwanis Park has a small parking lot. Parking is free.

All of our cruises are BYO, so feel free to bring your favorite food and drinks. Alcohol is permitted for guests 21 and over. Our boats come fully equipped with coolers, speakers, comfortable seating, and even a bathroom on two of the boats for ultimate convenience.

With accommodations for groups as small as 1-2 people or as large as 49 (or more if you book multiple boats), there’s no better time to set sail. Book your cruise today and make unforgettable memories on the water!
