There is so much to do and see in Cape May that even on a rainy day, you won't be bored. And Cape May isn't just a summertime destination. Year-round, you can find entertainment, art shows, go boating, visit the Cape May County Zoo, and enjoy our beautiful natural environment by the sea.
Cape May is the perfect vacation choice for families with children, because we have family-friendly beaches, whale-watching tours, miniature golf, a free zoo open year-round (a quick trip up the Garden State Parkway), and roller coasters just a short distance away in Wildwood.
But Cape May is also great for couples, because it affords romantic beach walks, wine tastings, theatre, art, and fine dining.
Rainy Days
Rainy days are often more crowded in Cape May due to an influx of people from nearby shore communities that have less to do when the sun is hidden. Hit the shops along the Washington Street Mall or duck into a restaurant to wait out the rain. If lightening is spotted, lifeguards will close the beaches.
Consider a local museum, massage or day at the spa, visit a local winery, or do some crafts.
