Get ready to bike the Jersey Shore from Cape May! It is one of the greatest ways to explore the shoreline and other waterfront areas around Cape May, not to mention a great workout after feasting on local seafood. Whether you are taking a solo bike ride or have a buddy tagging along, here are some of the best trails and rides to explore while you are vacationing in Cape May.
Cape May Shoreline Ride
For endless shore views on your bike ride, the Cape May Shoreline Ride is perfect for you! The trail extends around a loop and is 46 miles total. While this is a lengthy trail, it is the best for exploring the lands near the bay and ocean.
Cape May County Lighthouse Trail
If you’re looking for a quicker ride that still has great views, the Cape May County Lighthouse Trail is a 4-mile ride with great views of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean! It’s located within Cape May Point State Park and while there is a $12 admission fee, a terrifically quick and easy bike ride awaits you.
Cold Spring Bike Trail
While this trail doesn’t have any shoreline views, Cold Spring Bike Trail is a 17-mile trail with unique Cape May sights. You start your ride on Route 9 and get to bike through historical sites like Cold Spring Village and finish at Cape May County Park & Zoo.
The Wildwoods Trail
A little north of Cape May is Wildwood Beach. There, you can explore their beachside on The Wildwoods Trail. It’s a quick 5 miles but it is a shared trail with walkers and joggers. Make sure to keep an eye out! Bike lanes are also available the further you ride along the area too.
Stay at the Southern Mansion
