Unlike at Sunset Beach, the sun does not set directly into the water from this vantage point most of the year. But, there are some cool jetties here that will give your pictures some character. And during the summer season, it does set behind the Cape May lighthouse which makes for a hard-to-beat vacation photo. Because this location is located at the end of the promenade, close to most downtown hotels and bed and breakfasts, it’s an easy walk or bike ride to avoid any parking issues. While there are plenty of benches along the promenade, they don’t come with a great view of the sunset. So if you want to sit and enjoy the sinking sun, bring your own chair or blanket. During the winter months, this is actually the best place to watch the sunset – it no longer sets behind the lighthouse but drops into the water for great photos from anywhere along the promenade.
