???? Stop by the visitor center for great local suggestions for families & kids. Must go to Sunset Beach just down Sunset Blvd where kids can dig for Cape May Diamonds & see sunken ship. (Free!!)

Don't miss this during vacation, great views and the park is excellent for beach entrance and birding ...you kids can climb free with a paid ticket from the Mid Atlantic Center For The Arts Read more

Scenic but not much to do here unless you just enjoy walking. Spacious enough for kids to explore and peaceful for adults but teenagers might get bored.

One of the tallest lighthouse is on the Atlantic coast great view from the top if you want to walk the 205 steps

It was built in 1859 under the supervision of U.S. Army engineer William F. Raynolds, was automated in 1946, and continues operation to this day.

Wonderful wild life preservation area, go for a short hike , views of the lighthouse are better from the beach anyway
