Cape May is best-known for its incredible summers, but the fall is also a great time to visit. The weather is cooler and summer crowds fade away. It’s a great time to explore new areas, visit Cape May’s unique shops and restaurants, and enjoy local wineries.
Here are seven fun Cape May activities to do this fall.
Cape May Wineries
Spend a day in New Jersey wine country – right here in Cape May! Taste award-winning wines and enjoy the unique experiences each winery has to offer. October is harvest season, so it’s the perfect time to visit!
MAC Trolley Tours
Hop on one of MAC’s trolley tours – just minutes from our beachfront resort. MAC’s tour guides will tell you everything you need to know America’s first seaside resort. From Cape May’s Victorian heritage to its seashore and maritime history, these guides won’t leave anything out.
East Lynne Theater Company
Many are surprised to learn that Cape May is a mecca for theater lovers. East Lynn Theatre Company is one of several organizations bringing a blend of provocative premieres and timeless classics to the community.

Cape May Stage
Another outstanding theatre company, Cape May Stage, located in the heart of the Cape May’s historic district, continues its performance season through the fall with traditional, contemporary and new works.

Emlen Physick Estate
Visit the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, Cape May, NJ’s only Victorian house museum, for a look at life as it was lived more than 100 years ago.

Halloween Happenings
Cape May is one of the most haunted places in America and if you get a thrill from all things spooky, the Montreal Beach Resort in Cape May is the place for you! From the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate to a bevy of B&B inns, hotels and guest houses, all with resident spirits, you’ll find plenty to get your heart pumping.
