Dunes of poverty beach
Jacqueline O.

This is my favorite beach on the Jersey shore. It used to be known for its waves before they pumped the beach and lost the big ones. It has a quick on shore break which makes it great for swimming. Once you get out far enough it's perfect to float. It backs up to the Coast Guard making it quit and the perfect get away.

Two women walk on the beach.

Sunset Beach - Cape May Sunset Beach and the SS Atlantus ship wreckage

Sunset Beach

(58 reviews)

Great beach in Cape May obviously for the sunsets but for a couple other reasons as well…read more I believe every Monday-Wednesday-Friday they lower a flag honoring a veteran. During the ceremony they play America the Beautiful, the National Anthem and Taps. It's a great thing to witness and an honor for the families of the veterans represented. They also have a few shops and Mini golf course here. Every year I stop here there seems to be more things to do here. The old cement ship is still here too.....there seems to be LESS of this every time I visit. If you're in Cape May this is a great stop for the flag ceremony and the sunset.

I note there are 2 listings here for Sunset Beach - this one being for the beach itself…read more.. Sunset Beach is a must-visit every time I go to the Jersey Cape - have watched the ship off shore slowly be reclaimed by the elements. It has also been interesting to watch the little shops slowly expand and update from year to year - now featuring plenty (usually) of parking, a mini golf course, a small but nice restaurant, nearby concrete WWII tower converted to a museum, etc. I have noticed that the Cape May Diamonds® are thinning out a bit compared to the late 70s, but there are still plenty to find - which makes this a great location to take the kids & the great thing is you don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to. Also, there is a reason for the name - great location to watch sunsets out over the bay! Highly recommended!
