The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Cruise
No seacoast town is complete without a lighthouse. The lighthouse stands as proof that people travel past the shore – that the town is on the map. The Cape May Lighthouse is a glorious example of a fine, mid-19th century lighthouse. We hope you will climb to the top of the Cape May Lighthouse when next you stay at our Cape May bed and breakfast: it’s good exercise, and the view is terrific.
There are other lighthouses around here. Many of these stand on pedestals out at sea, and can’t be seen from land. Of course, the best way to view a lighthouse is from the water – it is why they were built, after all.
The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Cruise aboard the Spirit of Cape May is a delightful way to view many of the lighthouses in this region. The cruise includes narration about the history of Delaware Bay along with a few good stories. The cruises depart at 10 am from the Miss Chris Marina and last a good seven hours. Bring binoculars, for birds and whales as much as for lighthouses.
Once you are back on dry land, totter over to our bed and breakfast Cape May for a little something restorative (like a glass of wine and some crackers). We’d love to hear about your adventures out at sea.
