Day Trip to Cape May
A day trip to Cape May, just a short 20 minute drive from the Beachcomber Resort, is an excellent choice – whether you are a New Jersey local or a visiting tourist. There are many attractions to choose from – so many that you will struggle to fit them in over the course of a single day. That being said, a few choices stand out – and you can start planning your day trip right here.
Birding By Boat
If local wildlife is a priority during your day trip to Cape May, check out “Birding by Boat” and see plenty of bald eagles, herons, and other interesting marine animals. The cruise is led by Captain Bob, a man with 45 years of seafaring experience. Many parents love this activity, as it provides an educational opportunity for children with plenty of fun mixed in.
Hit the Beach
The beach is often the first stop for many visitors to Cape May. Plenty of lifeguards and amenities make it a great place to relax, swim, and enjoy the calm ocean vibes. Remember, beach tags are required for all visitors over the age of 12. However, you can get free beach tags by booking a stay at the Beachcomber Resort. It is a no-brainer if you plan to stay the night in the area. You can try out all kinds of activities at the beach, including kayaking, surfing, fishing, and (of course) building sandcastles.
The Cape May Historic District
If you are up for a relaxing stroll after the beach, check out the Cape May Historic District. This quaint area dates back to the 1800s, and it features plenty of beautiful Victorian architecture. You will also find plenty of inns in this area. If you want a guided tour, you can visit this link for more information.
The Cape May Winery and Vineyard
After a stroll down the historic district, you might be in the mood for something a little different. The Cape May Winery & Vineyard is your obvious next stop – featuring scenic views, wine tastings, and wonderful tapas. You can also catch some live music at this location if you stop by on Wednesday night.
Check Out Maison Bleue
Ready for a proper meal after those tapas? Head to Maison Bleue, one of the most popular restaurants in Cape May. Its French bistro aesthetic will not disappoint, and you will find plenty of options on the menu. These include oysters, steak, duck confit, and salmon. Do not forget dessert – as their crème brûlée is to die for.
Check Out Beachcomber Resort
Last but certainly not least, consider finishing your day trip with a stay at Beachcomber Resort in Avalon, New Jersey. Located just steps away from the beach, this resort is an obvious choice if you are planning to stay the night in Cape May. Surrounded by many of the attractions outlined in this article, the resort also features a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites.
