Cape May Off The Beaten Path

Camping in Cape May gives you the proximity to the beach, but it saves you on accomodation costs. Renting a room for a night in one of those fabulous mansions can run at least $250 a night. Camping is about $15 a night. You decide. We rounded up about 20 people and had fun in our tent, eating fire roasted kielbasa and singing drunk songs around the fire.

At the farthest western point in Cape May is Sunset Beach. Here you can see the remains of the SS Atlantus. It was an experimental concrete ship that was built in WWI. It sank off Cape May in 1926 and remains there today. Sunset beach is true to its name. The su sets over the water here similarly to Key West.

This quiet end of town is where my other brother Tony and his wife Donna lived the past few summers. It’s over by the Lobster house but in atmosphere, eons away and well worth a wander to see some of the quaint shore houses along the dock.

And you are never far from home what did I bump in to
a Swedish Gift Shoop where they played Swedish music and where selling Swedish cristall and they had the same sett of China for sail as my mother have.And of curse Dala Horses one of Swedens national symbols.
