Reach the 244-acre Cape May Point State Park by bike, car, or foot if you don’t mind a hike down the beach. The park is home to iconic landmarks including the Cape May Lighthouse, Fire Control Tower 23, and Battery 223 (aka “the bunker”), the remains of a harbor defense battery from World War II.

The park is free to the public, an ideal location for birding, picnics, painting, photography, and nature walks. Explore ponds, coastal dunes, marshes, and forest habitat on one of the three hiking trails that range from 0.5 to 2 miles in length. Along the trails are occasional benches and birding blinds. Wear sturdy walking shoes if you’re headed down the Yellow or Blue trails, as parts of the trail will take you through wooded areas that may be muddy! The shortest, the Red Trail, is entirely on a raised footpath and wheelchair accessible. Download a detailed trail guide from the state’s website.

There’s no swimming on this beach due to underwater hazards, but surf fishing is permitted. Being a state park, smoking (including vaping) and alcohol are prohibited.

Gather with friends at picnic areas and shelters. Groups of 20 are asked to reserve facilities at least five days in advance. If you have a large group, you can reserve a picnic area with a shelter and restrooms for up to 60 people.

It’s okay to bring your pet along, with some restrictions. Pets must be leashed at all times. Because the beach is home to endangered birds, pets are not permitted on the beach from April 1–September 15. And at no point are pets permitted on the nature trails.

There are no park or entry fees, and the park has a large, paved parking lot available.

Fishing trips aboard the Miss Chris and the Lady Chris include fishing license, parking, bait and fishing instructions. Rental rods are available with penn reels and gull rods. Whether you’re looking for an afternoon excursion, a morning family adventure or something special like a family reunion or birthday party, we’ve got the gear and expertise to help you enjoy the great outdoors.

The Miss Chris and the Lady Chris have been in the Cape May area providing half day and full day fishing excursions for decades. Started by Frank Speigel in 1973, then owned by Capt Fred through the late 80s, 90s through 2014, and now owned by Captain Jeff Stewart and Son, owners of the Cape May Whale Watcher and Miss Chris Marina and operated by Captain Mike Scanlan and Mate Jim. Captain Mike has been at the helm for 25 years and knows his way around Cape May, New Jersey and its plentiful fishing grounds.

Private charters also available.

South Jersey Marina has been providing first-class accommodations and services for more than 20 years. Slipholders and transients find everything they need to make their boating experience productive and pleasurable.

The marina’s 75 slips all feature high-profile, state-of-the-art floating piers. Without the experience, care, and dedication of its staff, a marina is only a place to tie up a boat. At South Jersey Marina, we have an experienced staff which understands boats and boaters and is committed to the well-being of both.

Party Boats

Naturally catching fish is a priority with our party boats. Having a fun time doing it is equally important. The captains and crews in the fleet have decades of experience in not only getting you tote fish but making sure you enjoy your entire trip.
