We’re staying in Villas and on our first day here, after swimming in the bay, one kid and one adult seemed to be pretty stung up. Are those sea nettles? Is the bay actually unswimmable? Should we just drive to the ocean beaches at Cape May? Are we stupid not to realize the bay would not be good for swimming or is sort of a scam not to disclose this?

Posting for my husband: I know this is a long shot, but I’m hoping someone may have come across a gold wedding band in Cape May this past week, possibly around Sunday, 8/22.

It was my grandfather’s wedding ring and has enormous sentimental value to me and my family. It’s a simple yellow-gold band with “900” clearly marked inside. There is also a much fainter handwritten/cursive inscription inside that can be difficult to see without the right lighting.

If you found a ring or heard of one being turned in, please message me. I can provide the exact inscription and other identifying details to verify it.
I would be incredibly grateful to get it back. Thank you!

Hello. Single male, 29. I’ll be there between the 11th and 14th (September) visiting, probably won’t be there again for a very long time.

Any recommendations? Bars/restaurants? Bored house wives?😆

Comment or dm me with any tips.

Pauline! Your phone is at the office there.

Hello!

Wife and I decided to visit from Philly. We have no reservations yet.

We would like a hotel or house very close to beach. Any recommendations?

Also we love seafood, albeit well seasoned. Lobster dipped in butter isn't really what we are looking for. Any recommendations for great, can't miss food places?

We will be there for 3 days. Money is no issue.

Thanks

Is anybody concerned with these “Flock” cameras being put up in the area?
Apparently Lower Township already has some installed.

Just visiting: anyone have any ideas on why the siren just now?

First time in Cape May this weekend. There’s a lot of kids running around, a little too family friendly & gimmicky.

Are there any quieter, chill spots for adults who just want to relax?

TIA

Edit: I will rescind my comment about CM being gimmicky, because to be fair I have only explored the Beach Ave strip. Thanks to everyone for the recs so far, I think those are more my speed. (Minus the nude beach but uh.. good to know)

Does anyone have any recommendations for replacing windows? We don’t have to follow historical codes which helps. I’m still dreading the process. I called one place and then they came out to give us an estimate but because only one of us was home, they refused to even give us a ballpark or let me look at options. It was a huge waste of time. This was after the sales person was 2hrs late to the scheduled appointment. They are still calling and emailing me. Maybe someone has had a better experience.

Heading to cape May this weekend for 5 days to close out the summer with my 5 year old daughter. What are some restaurant recommendations and things we must do and see?!

​

Last week had the opportunity to walk the Meadows and witness about 350 White ibis and 2 glossy Ibis

I went back two days later and got the photo of adult White Ibis.

I wanted to post about this because the birding in Cape May is second to none and one of the great features of the area that many summer visitors don't experience as much as during migration and it is talked about less this time of year.

Wish I was back there in September.

Also, really love all the new boardwalks and improvements. Great to see these investments happening.

What is the deal with this place? No ID of the artists, all canvas prints on poster board, website has it looking like the louvre. Is it a portal to another dimension?

Please let me know pricing! Thank you!!

I work in the cape may mall and I get asked over 50 times a day where the public restroom is or if we have a restroom. They need to add signs in the mall strip to lead to specific stores and the public bathroom!

Headed home tomorrow. My heart hurts.

I would also love to send this couple a picture that I snapped while shooting the fountain during golden hour!

looking for this couple who were at the Rotary Park Fountain in Cape May today, 8/20/26. My friend took an absolutely magical picture with you in it, and she'd like to find you to get you a copy. This is a zoomed in portion of the picture.

Saw water being picked up and rise into the cell shortly after this. Been coming here 30+ years and have never seen anything like it
