If you like the beach and a bit of hiking/walking, this location won't disappoint. Bathrooms are provided, free of course, a bit dated but, always clean when we go. Full size bathrooms, no porta-pots here, which is nice. If you are a avid hiker that looks for a challenge, find another place. Location is great. Plenty of paved parking. An assortment of things to do. There is a few nice trails, short, less than two miles, but enjoyable. Most of the trails are boardwalk style, which gives it a unique feel. The walkway is a few feet above the ground with most snaking through a heavy tree environment which gives a tunnel effect as one walks through. If you like the beach, one trail goes directly along the ocean. It has an old war bunker which is neat to see. I do NOT recommend that one for any person that may have limitations, may tire easily, or has a hard time with steps. Although there is no actual steps, the beach sand is very deep and once you are on that trail it's a good quarter mile in rough sand back to the parking lot. If you want to see the war bunker without going on the long trail just head to the ocean from the parking lot, it's close. There is a small info center with stuff to look at and just a few quick steps away is a light house that you can climb for free. Great location for pics as the view is high above. There are plenty of tables for eating, gathering and or just relaxing. Covered of course. During summer, you can find a ice cream vendor stationed in the parking lot next to the front. Which is great for grabbing a snack. If you have kids it should keep them happy for a bit. We go during the week, less busy, and the vendor is there so would assume there during weekend as well. All around good place.

I spent a few days exploring Cape May, and I fell in love! I live and travel in my van and spend my time at state parks, and this one by far is fantastic! Clean, well maintained, great trails, and bird watching. The beach is a little rougher than most, and the sand is not as soft, yet it's a beach and I love the beach! I visited the lighthouse and climbed all 199 steps. It's a beautiful lighthouse. The stairs are so cool to walk up and down. Great views throughout the walk-up and at the top! There's a small gift shop with lots of cool knickknacks and stickers. Lots of history. Very gracious hosts who work in the state park. I was able to set up my awning on the van and spent a whole day there with no one to bother me. I left my van there and road my bike into town for lunch and more exploring. It's was a fun adventure visiting Cape May! I will be back!

Cape May Point State Park is a wonderful place to spend a day outdoors! The park is well-maintained, with a big parking lot and easy access to the beach. While swimming isn’t allowed, you can often spot dolphins just off the coast, which is always a treat! There’s an old WWII bunker on the beach that you can explore from the outside since it's closed off, adding a bit of history to your visit. The park also has a nature center with a small museum that’s free to explore. If you're up for a little adventure, you can climb the Cape May Lighthouse for a small fee and enjoy the beautiful views from the top. For nature lovers, the bird-watching stop is a must, and there’s a scenic trail perfect for a walk or light hike. Definitely recommend visiting for a mix of history, wildlife, and beautiful scenery!
