    Beautiful and CLEAN

    We biked out from Cape May. Easy ride for us. Good view. Birds. I was surprised at how clean the beach was. One of my photos shows sandpipers along the edge of the water and no discoloration of the sand.

    Touching flag ceremony followed by beautiful sunset with dolphins breaching close to shore. All ages, mellow crowd, with a few benches where parking lot meets sand. Bathrooms available in store.

    Awesome!

    If you come to Cape May this is a must visit! We love the rock beach, and we always enjoy eating at the little cafe, and shopping in the shops. The views are terrific!

    Dogs are allowed at Sunset Beach Area always and on the beach September 15-March 30... and if you went right towards Higbees you'd be ok as that is not state park anytime.
