Sunset Beach Gifts — Local services in Lower Township

08•01•24 Five years to a decade ago, this area, “Sunset Beach” was a hidden gem. It’s one of the few places to see the sun actually set in the west over the water. Nowadays it feels like a miniature landmark in Wildwood, NJ. This use to be known for a great source of finding, “Cape May Diamonds” which you could easily spot a decade ago. The beach back then was mostly smooth, tiny pebbles and lots of Cape May Diamonds, but not much sand. Sadly enough, all the small tiny stones have been covered by sand. I’m not sure if this was Mother Natures doing or was done purposely by the town of Cape May. Either way, it was kinda disappointing to not only see the change of scenery / landscape, also the amount of tourists that were there. There is also some type of construction happening on the opposite side of the old WW II tower, which you pass just before entering Sunset Beach, built in 1942, which I also noticed. So who knows, maybe there’ll be Sunset Lounge Hotel being built at that elite location, either that or a Nursing Home. Hopefully I’m wrong & it’s additional Bird Watching location & they need a parking lot. This way all those species of birds live on & they don’t have to be forced out of their territory. However, I absolutely love the town of Cape May for all it’s character & charm. It's a designated Historic District & a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian buildings. Cape May is also one of the country's oldest vacation resort destinations. I’ve been coming here for over 38 years & I’ll be back again real soon! If it wasn’t for the winter months, I would love to retire in the town of Cape May. That’s only if I was able to afford a house in the town of Cape May, LOL. I would’ve given it five stars if it didn’t change. Have you visited Sunset Beach? What treasures have you found? Share with us in the...

As a loyal customer of the gift shop, I’m truly disheartened by my most recent experience. On June 15th, 2024, I visited the gift shop, per usual, with my partner and my service dog. Out of nowhere, this extremely rude female worker with white hair approached me and told me that the dog is not allowed in the store and that she needs to leave. Baffled, I respectfully indicated that it has never been an issue. The employee rudely responds with “I just work here” and walked away. As my partner and I exit the store, per her request, we see that the door has a sign that states that service animals are welcome. Furious, I call the store and ask to speak with the manager. The manager, Brielle, takes my call and while she was apologetic, she was dismissive of my experience and clearly just wanted to get me off of the phone. She did indicate that what this woman did was wrong and that she would address it. While I appreciated the gesture, it didn’t sound genuine at all. Still unhappy, I sent an email under their website’s “Contact Us” section and requested to be in contact with someone above Brielle. No one has yet to reach out. In addition, I hate to feel like this, but I believe the store is truly prejudice, specifically, the female employee with white hair…and as I stated, it has never been an issue to have my service dog in the store; the sign on the door AND Brielle both confirmed this. I just wanted my feedback and frustration to be heard and validated, because it was just an awful experience. If this business actually responds, it’s just a front - because they were dead silent when I reached out privately to resolve. I’ll never shop here again, and neither will my...

I've been coming here my whole life. Wanna catch the sunset? Unless you're riding your bike or walking locally from the Point, make sure you get there early and wear good footwear because you might have a hike. Guards are usually present to help if you need to drop off anyone. Clear skies means lots of folks, and the new restaurant adds 5x the visitors now. This is our favorite mini golf place and it used to be very empty, but be ready for some big groups around dinner. It honestly works perfectly if you have an hour wait for dinner, you can get through 18 holes in about exactly that with a respectful golf crowd. Where did all the CM diamonds and rocks we'd collect up until 2023 disappear to? Erosion, sand replacement, disappointing but hope they return. Store nearby is welcoming for restrooms and has lots to look at. Bathrooms near restaurant are supposed to be ONLY for patrons. Lock it behind you. Got wet or need to change? Do it from your car - there is no room for that. Bring out your garbage. Take off your hats for the Flag (especially those red ones; we don't want to see them in CM). Enjoy the beautiful sunset, even if it's not perfect conditions, it's...
