April and May offer ideal months for a staycation or getaway at the Jersey Shore. Go outside and explore nature. At this time of year, the beaches are empty, the boardwalks are quieter, and restaurants are leisurely places to enjoy meals with friends and family before the peak visitation season approaches. Cape May is one of those Jersey Shore destinations best experienced like a local before the summer rush begins.
A perfect spring day could start with a bike ride from Beach Plum Farm to Higbee Beach, then a stop at Willow Creek Winery for a wine and cheese break. A dinner at Sapore and a sunset cocktail on Congress Hall's porch cap off a day in Cape May.
