Poverty Beach Cape May

Looking for a escape from the busy beaches of in-season Cape May. A visit to Poverty Beach in Cape May offers a quiet relaxing alternative. The beach entrance on Wilmington faces an extensive protected nesting area for the piping plover. The name of this beach, Poverty Beach, is said to have originated with the poorer classes who could use only this beach in times past. The distance of Poverty Beach from popular contemporary Cape May tourist attractions and accommodations usually assures fewer people and more peace. The sand is clean and white.and the water deep blue and the sky a beautiful sight to behold. Happily, not as many people know about this area of beach in Cape May- it’s at the north end of Beach Avenue where it turns the corner. Bathrooms and showers are right at the entrance, and it’s a nice wide beach with beautiful views. Definitely our favorite!
