Sunset Beach
Just as the name suggests, Sunset Beach is known for its stunning over the water sunsets. As one of the most popular spots at sunset, Sunset Beach is a crowd-pleaser from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with fewer crowds in the fall and winter. But Sunset Beach isn’t just about sunsets. Visitors can also attend the flag-lowering ceremony in the evening, climb the “concrete” tower for even better views, collect the Cape May “diamonds” found in the sand, and gaze out at the SS Atlantus Concrete Shipwreck.
Cape May Lighthouse
The Cape May Lighthouse at Cape May Point State Park stands as an iconic landmark of the area. The current tower has been an aid to coastal navigation since it was built in 1859. During most of the year, the lighthouse is open to those who wish to climb to the top for even better views.
Cape May Point State Park WWII Bunker
While you are visiting the Cape May Lighthouse at Cape May Point State Park, be sure to also take time to see the WWII bunker that still stands along the sandy shoreline. The bunker was built by the Army Corps of Engineers during the early part of WWII and stands today as one of Cape May’s most popular tourist attractions.
