Things to Do at the New Jersey Shore
- Cape May County Park and Zoo-
The Cape May County Park & Zoo in Cape May, New Jersey, provides free year-round admission to a collection of more than 550 animals representing 250 species in 85 acres of exhibits. A great attraction for the family! - Cape May Beaches-
Cape May has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. From Higbee Beach to Poverty Beach, Cape May is a beach-lovers’ paradise. Travelers can kick back and relax, toss a Frisbee or football and, of course, take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean. - Atlantic City-
It’s the East Coast’s answer to Las Vegas. Atlantic City’s casinos draw tourists by the car and bus-load, but even if your main objective is to play some blackjack, you’ll want to save time for sightseeing. Stroll along the famous boardwalk with its numerous amusements and eateries or visit the historic, recently-restored Absecon Lighthouse or take in a show and the famous Boardwalk Hall. - Dolphin and Whale Watching-
Bottlenose Dolphins travel in large, constantly-communicating groups of 10 to 25 individuals known as pods. Baleen whales, such as humpbacks, travel in loosely associated groups, which means that one large group of whales, may be spread out over a large distance. Cape May waters are extremely nutrient rich, attracting all kinds of aquatic life and these nutrients allow for tons of plankton and fish species to thrive, which are main food sources for dolphins and whales. This abundance of food causes Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins to come back to Cape May every summer to feed, mate and give birth. For watching tours consider Thunder Cat Dolphin Watch in Wildwood and Cape May, they are highly rated. - Wildwood Boardwalk-
The Wildwoods Boardwalk offers a pure sensory overload of sights, sounds and smells to visitors with spectacular amusement piers, world-class roller coasters, three wet and wild beachfront waterparks, carnival-style midway games, flashing arcades and a myriad of retail shops and eateries. - Miniature Golf –
With a number of beach towns dotting the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the Jersey Shore has a ton of places where travelers can putt around. A great activity for families and a great way to keep the kids occupied during the day, mini golf can be a way to spend some time together as a family, and have a little fun competing against each other.
