cape may point state park印象

The Cape May Point Lighthouse is in this state park. In addition, there is a public beach but no swimming is allowed. They have public bathrooms. There is also a nature park that you can walk through and see the many birds that migrate here each year. There are several trails you can take.They have an education center with some very fascinating artifacts including many types of fish and other sea creatures. There are maps and pictures of the area from long ago. My favorite is the map showing how the coastline has eroded over the years. It's amazing to look at this map and see all the lost land and houses that have been taken over by the ocean. They have educational classes, some specifically for small children; check in at the office to see when they are. There is an old WWII bunker on the beach (you cannot enter it as it has eroded too much over the years).The park is free, there is an admission charge for the lighthouse. You can climb up the lighthouse and see panoramic views of the Cape May area and the ocean. The climb isn't bad as there are landings along the way to stop and rest and look out the windows.

The easiest trail here is less than half a mile and is boardwalk so very accessible. Many of the trees and bushes are labeled for identification. There is also a bird-watching platform with binoculars which is a very popular spot when the hawks are migrating. A poster with pictures of different types of hawk should be handy in identifying them.One pond has a lot of swans, and we saw brilliantly colored dragonflies galore in mid August.There are covered picnic tables close to the trail head so very convenient for lunch. the longer trails include beach as well as wetland habitats. Entry to the park is free but there is a fee to enter the lighthouse.

This is the place. Bring your bucket and eyeglasses. There are a lot of fishermen, I would wear aqua shoes if swimming as they lose rigs. The Concrete boat is wasting away.

Not a busy area, at least when I was there. Quiet & simple. A nice spot for some quiet time & just hang out.

I try to get down to the Cape at least once a year to hike the self guided tour that meanders through a Maritime type forest.

We were staying at Wildwood for the weekend and decided to go take a trip to Cape May. Although it was poor weather we still had a great time. We saw a group of dolphins in the water. The beach was beautiful as well as the lighthouse. I would love to go back at some point.

We always enjoy walking the trails at the state park. Every day and every season provide new discoveries. The trails wind about providing a chance to view nature at times very close. Great place for photography. Guided walks are often scheduled.

This is a very nice state park after visiting the lighthouse it was time to explore and walk the grounds of the park and the beach. Found some sweet sand dollars.

Visit the lighthouse, explore the park and bird observatory, see a WWII bunker and relax on a beautiful beach... this is what Cape May Point State Park has to offer.You can easily spend half a day or a complete day here, depending on how long you'll enjoy the beach.Nice small visitor center with exibits.Park and beach (and parking) are free but you can climb the lighthouse for a fee (8$ adults, 3$ kids).

My first reaction was the joy of seeing the colony of purple martins, I was told the colony dates back 100 years. Also I was astonished to see the WW!! bunker which was once out in the ocean due to erosion is now on the beach!
