It’s true – dads love Cape May, NJ. If you’re looking for a good way to express your love for your dad this Father’s Day, consider spending a few days with him at our Cape May Bed and Breakfast.

History buff dads will find Cape May full of beautifully preserved and restored historic buildings. Tour The Colonial House, which dates from the 1700s and is the oldest house in Cape May, and Emlen Physick Estate (1878). Spend a few hours at the Cape May County Historical Museum. Visit nearby Historic Cold Spring Village to see a historic reenactment of a mid-19th century rural community.

Mariner fathers will enjoy that fact that Cape May, NJ, is a seacoast town with scenic cruises , dinner cruises, and whale watching excursions. There are nature safaris through the salt marshes and back bay birding and history tours. The Cape May – Lewes Ferry is another way to enjoy water views of historic harbors, marine life, and historic lighthouses; the journey between New Jersey and Delaware lasts 85 minutes.

Angling dads will love the superlative fishing waters of Cape May. Numerous fishing charters lead anglers off shore and in shore. Dads can try saltwater fly fishing or head out to deep waters.

Dads who like outdoor recreation may want to tour the area on one of the bikes we have for guests of our Bed and Breakfast Cape May, NJ. They may want to go for a hike through Maurice River Bluffs Preserve, or try parasailing. Of course, the beaches of Cape May always beckon.

There is little doubt that your father will most enjoy spending time with you, even if all you do is sit together on the porch of our historic Cape May Bed and Breakfast, sipping cool drinks.
