SOMETHING FOR EVERY TASTE. Cape May County is a seafood lover’s dream come true. With one of the largest ports on the East Coast, fresh fish arrives daily for local chefs to prepare in the most creative, taste-tempting ways imaginable. From a lobster dinner or a huge plate of blue claw crabs served up at an outside restaurant to one of the gourmet restaurants where the catch of the day is complemented with a chilled wine, a breathtaking view and attentive service, dining is a pleasure. Start your day with a stack of pancakes on the Boardwalk or whet your appetite with Eggs Benedict at a café in Stone Harbor or Avalon. For a quick bite before you stretch out on the beach grab some curly fries and a cheese steak – and forget those calories.

For a romantic evening, make reservations at one of the many restaurants that have earned Cape May the “Restaurant Capital of New Jersey” designation. Or, find one of those popular places that cater to families with youngsters in all price ranges. Fresh produce grown locally – from corn and tomatoes to strawberries and peaches – is often on the menu and, of course, there’s always ice cream or creamy fudge for dessert no matter where you are. Take out is always an option – a snack to enjoy in the quiet of your room, on the balcony or just for a change of pace after a busy day of sightseeing, kayaking or strolling the boards. Outdoor dining, is one way to have it all – cool breezes, a great view and probably some good music thrown in. The decor is furnished by Mother Nature as the sun sinks slowly after another perfect day.

With so many restaurants there’s no reason to ever be hungry while you’re enjoying your Jersey Cape vacation!
