Cape May Point State Park
Known For
Hawk-watching at peak migration with almost no crowds
Cape May Point State Park wraps you in a moody atmosphere of salt air, migrating birds, and a lighthouse silhouette that looks different every hour of the day. It's the kind of raw, quiet New Jersey coastline that makes you forget the Garden State Parkway exists.
🕐Best time to visit: October afternoons when the light turns golden
Our Take
The lighthouse at Cape May Point is the anchor, but it's the migrating monarch butterflies in fall and the quiet, windswept feel of the surrounding trails that give this park its real personality. A solid charming spot that rewards visitors who come outside of peak summer weekend hours.
