City advice
Getting around
Walking and biking are the best way to get around!
Parking is a premium during peak summer season. Walking, bikes and the FREE golf carts that are around town are the best way to get around. The jitney runs during the summer and that's free.
The bike shop in town rents bikes for the week or a couple of days.
Ways to save
Discount books
Discount books are offered for sale in town. They have coupons for everything in Cape May. Well worth it if you plan on exploring the town!

Best sunsets are at the point!
Take a drive out to Cape May Point or Higbees beach one evening to watch a sunset. Absolutely gorgeous. If you don't feel like driving, walk to the boardwalk and head to the end where the sunset watchers are : )

Book before you go
Be kind and make reservations ahead of time!!!
Even though everything is open, every place is still understaffed & overworked. Please be kind to the folks who are working so hard to keep our town going. And if the place takes reservations, make them ahead of time.
