What Makes This Picnic Spot So Special?

New Jersey has a decent amount of green space and parks – but, really, if you’re going to have a picnic here, it has to be at the shore. Cape May, to the south, is retro heaven; all beaches, boardwalks, candy floss, and candy-hued Victorian houses. Lay out your lunch on one of the picnic tables in the state park, home to honey-colored beaches, dunes, and coastal marshes known for birdwatching.

More Than Just a Picnic Table

This is a great spot at the very tip of Cape May, and the best part about it, the park is free to the public and offers more than just a great picnic location; it also has plenty of bird watching opportunities, along with swimming, photography, and nature walks with three hiking trails.
