Lower Township: Light House ave
About
Lower Township: Light House ave is a public beach access point in New Jersey, about half a mile from Cape May Point. It offers restrooms and accessible access, making it a straightforward place to reach the sand. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on walking the shore or simply spending time on the beach rather than going in the water. A fee is charged. Summer brings the warmest weather, with typical July highs around 86°F and lows near 68°F. September stays mild at about 79°F, according to typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cape May. Two trails start within about a tenth of a mile: the Blue Trail and the NJ State Long Trail. Either one makes it easy to pair a beach stop with a walk.
