South Cape May Meadows Preserve
Known For
Shorebird flocks against open sky, impossible to replicate elsewhere
South Cape May Meadows Preserve earns its local favorite status through a moody atmosphere of tall grasses, shorebird flocks, and unobstructed Atlantic views that photographers return to season after season. The trail loops are short enough to explore twice.
🕐Best time to visit: Just after sunrise during fall migration
Our Take
This coastal meadow preserve sits where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic, and the birdwatching during spring and fall migration is genuinely spectacular — binoculars are not optional. It's a charming, off-the-beaten-path find that earns its place as a standout for nature lovers who don't mind getting their shoes a little muddy.
