We visited Sunset Beach during our stay in Cape May. The beach is very nice and parking is steps from the sand.

What a surprise to find out about the Cape May "Diamonds" which can be found in the sands of Sunset Beach. The diamonds are actually sparkling clear stones - but they do sparkle compared to the other pretty and ocean smoothed stones found here.

Going to the Point since 1960. Ship is sinking slowly. Cape May diamonds is a visitors "must do"...collect and make jewelry. The little shops has finished jewelry and tumbler to make your own. Stay for the Sunset!

Ok, Elton John had a hit with not letting it do down on him in '74, but quite a few folks enjoy seeing it go down on them at this location. From past visits, if you get there anywhere up to 1.5 to 2 hours before setting (unless it's raining), chances are extremely slim of getting a parking spot in...
