Best Beach Spots Near the Beachcomber Resort for Sunrise and Sunset Views
Fall brings a quieter side of the Jersey Shore, with crisp mornings, cool evenings, fewer crowds, and skies that can make a sunrise or sunset especially memorable. The Beachcomber Resort sits near the meeting point of Avalon and Stone Harbor, making it an ideal location for exploring waterfront spots throughout the region. Bring a warm layer, comfortable shoes, and a blanket or beach chair, then settle in with a warm drink to enjoy the coast at its most peaceful.
Start the Day With a Sunrise on Avalon Beach
Avalon Beach provides an easy way to experience the Jersey Shore at its most peaceful. The Avalon Jetty at 8th Street is a particularly scenic place to watch the morning light develop, with the sunrise gradually bringing color to the Atlantic horizon and surrounding shoreline. The jetties can also offer a peaceful setting after dark for guests who want to spend some time stargazing before turning in for the evening.
Stone Harbor Beach provides another appealing option for an autumn sunrise. Families can park near the playground, walk toward the beach to watch the sun come up, then continue the morning with some time spent at the newly rebuilt playground.
Make a Cape May Sunset Part of the Evening
Cape May offers several memorable ways to view an autumn sunset, making it an excellent spot for guests who want to turn sunset watching into a larger evening outing.
Guests can start with a cocktail at the Cape May Fish House before heading to the nearby Sunset Beach to catch the sunset with the wreck of the SS Atlantis in view. Be sure to look for Cape May diamonds along the shoreline. Then, travel to Cove Beach to take breathtaking photos of the nearby Cape May lighthouse.
Find Quiet Sunset Views Around Ocean City
Corson’s Inlet State Park at the southern end of Ocean City offers a different experience, with a combination of easy access and a greater sense of isolation. The farther south toward the tip guests travel, the fewer people they are likely to encounter.
For guests who love sunset views over calm water, the Route 52 Fishing Pier between Ocean City and Somers Point offers a distinctive vantage point. Visitors can drive onto the fishing pier and park there, creating an easy way to watch the sun descend across the back bay without needing to plan a long walk. On the drive back to the Beachcomber Resort, drop into Twisties Tavern on the Bay for food or drinks.

The Beachcomber Resort provides guests with a convenient home base for exploring coastal areas throughout southern New Jersey. Its location between Avalon and Stone Harbor makes it easy to enjoy a peaceful morning or evening by the water before returning to a comfortable suite. With crisp fall air and plenty of places to stop along the way, an autumn getaway can offer a memorable stay beyond the busiest summer months.
