Lower Township: Whittier Ave & Shore Dr
About
Lower Township: Whittier Ave & Shore Dr is a public beach access point in New Jersey, about half a mile from North Cape May. It's a simple point of entry to the sand. There's no fee to use it, and swimming is not allowed here, so plan on walking the beach or simply spending time by the water rather than going in. Summer and early fall are the warmest times to visit. At a nearby weather station, typical July highs reach about 86°F, and September averages a still-warm high near 79°F with lows around 62°F. Two hiking options sit about 3.3 miles away if you want to stretch your legs after a beach stop: the NJ State Long Trail and the Blue Trail.
