Cape May in March?

Two of our favorites that we always hit when down there are http://www.capemaymac.org/attractions/lighthouse/index.html & http://www.njsouth.com/Sunsetbeach.htm. The "Cape May Diamonds" are a little kitschy but still cool to see the Sunset at the beach in NJ.

I went to Cape May for my birthday (March 1) about 7 years ago. Most everything was closed and the weather was gray and crummy. It was still fun but totally deserted. Walking on the boardwalk by yourselves could be really romantic.

Take a walk around http://www.lucytheelephant.org/ even if you can't go inside.

Although Cape May will have more folks milling around than most S. Jersey shore towns in March, it will still be pretty quiet and not everything will be open. That being said, my wife and I love going down there in the off-season. Have you considered staying at Congress Hall or The Virginia Hotel? The beach should be all yours!

The WWII gun emplacements on the beach are pretty cool. Lighthouse is fun, and even a walk through the bird sanctuary is great. You could take the ferry across to Lewes, DE if you like boat rides. It's a little pricey, but a lot of fun. If you are interested in beer Dogfish Head is in Rehoboth Beach in DE, close to the ferry landing.

Check out the http://www.woolvertoninn.com/index.html in Stockton. Not the beach, but http://www.woolvertoninn.com/room1.html. You'd have great restaurants nearby, walks &/or cycling along the Delaware, and a fireplace to curl up by if the weather is bad. For dinner, we are especially fond of http://www.zoubinewhope.com/index.htm (sorry, annoying website!) and http://www.hamiltonsgrillroom.com/hamiltonsgrillroom.htmlfor dinner. Zoubi serves inspired martinis and great appetizers and the atmosphere is far more romantic than their website suggests. One of the best wine shops anywhere is http://phillipsfinewines.com/in Stockton if you need a bottle of bubbly. Enjoy!

http://www.lambertvillenj.org/ and http://www.newhopepa.com/ are right across the Deleware river from each other. Both towns are extremely quaint and feature many good restaurants, art galleries, shops, and Bed & Breakfasts. These towns are cute enough to make you not care about crummy March weather. Also, there is a bridge over the Deleware to walk in between the two towns, and the views from the bridge down the river are really great. It would be a nice place to propose.

Seconding Lucy. It's a bit of a ride from Cape May, (it's just to the south of Atlantic City) but it's really neat, especially if you get to go inside.

I go to Cape May in the spring and fall all the time. It is great and not crowded. There are music and film festivals so you might want to time your visit with one of those.
