Scenic Views of Cape May Harbor in New Jersey

We love to travel and one of the places we love to visit is Cape May in New Jersey. If you've never visited Cape May, you're really missing out! It's located on the most southern tip of the state and has some of the widest and prettiest beaches at the Jersey Shore. This coastal seaside town is bustling with activity year-round.

If you live in central Pennsylvania, it's approximately a 4 to 4 1/2 hour drive, depending on traffic and the route that you take. We like to head to the south Jersey Shore by passing through Lancaster, Chaddsford, Chester and then into Mullica Hill in New Jersey. By taking this particular route, we avoid the expressway through Philly and toll roads along the way.

When we visit Cape May we look forward to spending some time at Cape May Harbor. There are several different marinas that are located within the harbor and you're welcome to visit them. We like walking through them and enjoy sitting on their docks to watch all of the fishing boats and ships come through.

At some of the marinas you can sign-up for a charter fishing trip, rent or buy boats, take a whale watching or dolphin watching cruise, go parasailing, jet skiing and all kinds of other water activities. Even if you're not interested in doing these kind of activities, it's always fun to watch others!

Today we're sharing a few photographs that we took while on a recent vacation down to Cape May. On one particular afternoon we visited the harbor and many of the marinas located within it. Some of the fishing boats that we spotted were absolutely gorgeous and I can only dream that some day...I'll be able to afford one myself.

Anyway, we wanted to share a few photographs with you, so that you could see the Cape May Harbor scene. It's really quite beautiful there and it's a lot of fun to watch the fishing boats and ships come in and out of the harbor. As an added bonus, the locals are quite friendly and don't mind giving visitor's tours and history about the harbor and/or marina. Fun for sure!
