About North Cape May
North Cape May is a peaceful bayside neighborhood tucked between Cape May and the Delaware Bay, offering some of the best sunset views on the Jersey Shore. It’s the kind of place where locals ride bikes along the waterfront, and visitors come to unplug, unwind, and enjoy slower beach town living. Unlike the nearby tourist hubs, North Cape May feels more residential and relaxed. There’s no boardwalk or amusement rides—but that’s the beauty of it. Instead, you’ll find scenic bay beaches, cozy coffee shops, hidden gem eateries, and access to the Cape May–Lewes Ferry for day trips across the water. The area is ideal for families, couples, and pet owners looking for a low-key shore vacation. Rentals here often include backyard pools, decks with bay views, and pet-friendly spaces. It’s also a great home base for exploring nearby vineyards, the Cape May Lighthouse, and the nature preserves of Lower Township. Summer is the most popular time to visit, but the sunsets in early fall are some of the best you’ll ever see. If you’re after peace, comfort, and postcard-worthy views, North Cape May is a hidden treasure.
