Cape May After Summer Hits Different 🍂 | 3 Days on the Jersey ShoreCape May

October usually means mountains, foliage and pumpkin patches… but I’m still not ready to give up the ocean. 🌊🍂 So I spent a 3-day fall weekend in Cape May, New Jersey, exploring what the Jersey Shore feels like after summer and calling Lokal Cape May home along the way. And honestly? Cape May might be even better this time of year. Think quiet beaches, crisp fall mornings, Victorian architecture, farm stops, local coffee and food, a heated pool, historic Cape May, lighthouse views and sunsets over the remains of a century-old shipwreck. This trip was all about slowing down and seeing a different side of one of New Jersey’s most iconic beach towns, without the summer crowds. Maybe beach season was never really the point. Sometimes you just need the ocean. 🌊 3 DAYS IN CAPE MAY 0:00 — Cape May in October 🍂 0:12 — Day 1: Our Fall Weekend Begins 0:23 — Checking Into Lokal Cape May 0:32 — West End Garage 0:48 — Beach Plum Bakery & Cafe 0:54 — Rea’s Farm Market 0:58 — Uncle Bill’s Pancake House 1:00 — Washington Street Mall 1:15 — Historic Congress Hall 1:26 — Sunset Beach + Wreck of the SS Atlantus 1:42 — Dinner at The Ebbitt Room 2:35 — Day 2 2:49 — Beach Plum Farm 3:31 — Harriet Tubman Museum of New Jersey 3:48 — Heated Pool at Lokal Cape May 4:07 — Beach Time in October 🌊 5:10 — Day 3 5:26 — Cape May Lighthouse 🏡 WHERE WE STAYED Lokal Cape May https://staylokal.com/hotels/cape-may-micr...
