While I didn't find many of the famous Cape May diamonds, I still loved walking the shoreline and taking in the view. The atmosphere during sunset was wonderful, with people gathering to watch the sun go down together. There's also a visible sunken ship. Was mostly chill until sunset of course, people gathered to watch the sunset. Restaurant right on the beach, 2 gift shops, a mini cold course, the WWIl lookout tower as well. Plenty of parking. It's definitely worth adding to your Cape May itinerary.

At this dead end, there is a small body of beach, some large boulders with hand painted graffiti welcome signs, and a small pine barren park "forest" area. No picnic tables or restrooms or anything. Sunsets here are killer, but you need to face the bay and the northern edge as the dead end of the road here is facing north. Views north are very cool, and there is deep water docking to the right of the road there but it's 17 acres of private property (currently for sale at $1M). I visited all of these Middle Township beaches in one day and this is definitely more busy than the others, especially for its size. It a really cool spot and worth a look if only for a short visit. Like all of the small Middle Township bay beaches, this feels very remote and private. As with its neighbor beaches, you need to drive out through a stretch of marsh to get to it. There are homes on solid ground at the mouth of the road (by 47), and also as you get out at the beach, but the stretch in between is marshland. Marsh makes for great wildlife but also many bugs, so prep for that in warm months.

IMO, the best time to visit is the off season, and close to sunset. There are houses built right on top of beach, on pilings over water! The homes must have amazing views. They also have small parcels of private beach at almost every home. But there is a larger public section of beach too. The public area is recently restored, and still not as big as Cooks Beach, Kimbles Beach, or Highs Beach, but the small lanes where the homes are gathered like a village amidst the marshes are really adorable.

Contrary to its name, Poverty Beach offers a sumptuous banquet of riches. From the free street parking on the day I came (Tuesday in July) to the clean bathrooms steps from its entrance to its friendly tag seller. I paid $8 for a day tag; it's $15 for three consecutive days and less daily for longer if you plan to beach it. Being a cape, it's very windy so I put my umbrella away. The waves are strong but there are lifeguards until five daily during the season, like now.

Whale Beach is a wide open stretch of shoreline and while we were there during the spring when there was no one around, I'm sure there is enough room for folks so it doesn't feel too crowded during high season. Parking is extremely limited, so come early.
