Lower Township: Light House Ave is a public beach access point in New Jersey, about half a mile from Cape May Point.

Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on walking or relaxing on the beach rather than going in the water. A fee is charged for use. Summer is the warmest time to visit. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run around 86°F for highs and 68°F for lows, while September eases to about 79°F highs and 62°F lows.
