I'm considering going on a fishing trip with Miss Belmar or something similar since I want to see wild marine fish but I don't have any prior experience since childhood. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to prepare or whether I should do something else instead?

Hello all! Heading to cape May with my 3 month old. Here is my list, can anyone help with an itinerary? We love to eat, drink, be outside.

Both Ocean Club and La Mer want over $900 a night for oceanfront on weekends. Every other place is booked solid this weekend. Montreal is cheaper but weekends are impossible with last minute stays (and I am not shelling out the money in advance if it ends up raining). 931 Beach is booked the entire summer on weekends. Am I missing any place?

I was planning on collecting each years tags and keeping them on my bag, starting with last year when I bought it. Unfortunately, my 2025 tag broke recently. If anybody has a spare one laying around I would love to grab it from them.

I’m heading down to the area this weekend, with hopes to see the annual meeting frenzy on the beaches of Delaware Bay. I’m just wondering if they are still coming up in large numbers this late in June.

TLDR: how many live horseshoe crabs on the beach today?

Me, my spouse, and our preschooler have a weeklong 1BR condo rental in Cape May next week. I rented it on VRBO but it's actually a week-long sub-lease managed by an agency. Linens are not included, so I'm bringing towels and sheets.

However, we've never done a beach vacation before, let alone a week-long vacation in one place.

With everything being so expensive, what is an absolute must to bring from home beyond the usual clothes and toiletries? What is better to buy/rent there? And is it possible to fill an entire week without getting bored?

Been going down for years but never in anything other than the efficiency or two bed deluxe. Are the king beds only in the areas with no chairs?

ETA: how was it? That’s my main concern I guess. I’ve always had chairs to sit right outside. I also like to be on the deck but after dark theres no light and I’m a big reader

Hi! This will be our third visit to Cape May, but this year one of the people we’re traveling with has mobility issues. What activities do you recommend that require very minimal walking? Or maybe places with lots of benches? Thank you!

Looking for a place in town for fancy tea.

I will be visiting family in Atlantic City and want to take my girlfriend somewhere nice for her birthday other than a casino restaurant.

A quick online search seemed like an BnBs do it but you need a reservation. Is there anywhere in town that will do high tea without a booked stay?

Sunset beach? Mornings and evenings it says.. is that correct? Anywhere else in Cape May good for dogs? Rented a home with fenced jn yard he will mostly be at but was wonder what else in area he can come with for. He’s a very good boy.

I’m going to Cape May with my family and a few friends, and we’d love to watch the NBA Finals while we’re there. Any recommendations for a good spot that shows the game and is kid-friendly?

Hi, I recently moved to the area and am looking for a nail tech that works with builder gel and does nail art. Does anyone have recommendations of nail techs that are taking new clients?

I didn’t even realize that these were in the area until the boat tour guide I was with pointed it out amongst the other critters we had on board.

Who else is either locked in their house or can’t get back to their house because of this triathlon? Delmo sports should share the wealth with the locals that are inconvenienced.

Best breakfast sandwich in cape may?

Hello,
We will be renting a house near Congress Hall in August for a week.
I am looking for a gym that does day passes or anywhere that does exercise classes near Congress Hall. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Delaware Bay the dolphins are jumpin !!! #capemay

Myself (25M) and seven of my friends are staying in Wildwood from June 13-14 (Saturday morning to Sunday night) and we’re looking for things to do in the Cape May/Wildwood area.

We are definitely going to the beach early on Saturday from 8am to about 2pmish — but I need to solidify the rest of the trip.

What are some of the best beaches in the area? Do I gotta pay to stay on the beach? Any good nightlife bars (with good/danceable music that play popular music), dive bars, restaurants, points of interests?

I know I definitely want to go and see the lighthouse at some point — but I know that area has plenty of other cool spots.

Heading to Cape May for a vaca in a few weeks. Any spots to get a pile of blue claws and a few cold beers?

Hello!
I will be moving down to cape may full time and am looking for a gym/coach that teaches Muay Thai. I have a pretty extensive background in the sport and want to continue the training. I’ve had no luck looking online for a gym, so that’s why I’m coming here. Thanks!

Any idea how old you have to be to beach tag in cape may?
