Beachfront below the Victorian district
via LiveBeaches
Cape May’s cam covers the beachfront below the Victorian district, along the promenade. The town has three quite different beaches, and this camera only sees one of them.
What is actually in frame
The promenade beachfront. Poverty Beach sits at the east end and Sunset Beach faces the bay on the other side of the peninsula — neither is in this frame.

The 3 beaches in Cape May
- Cape May City Beach — The main beach stretching along the promenade with views of Victorian architecture. Wide sandy beach with gentle waves.
- Poverty Beach — Quieter beach at the east end of town near the inlet. Less crowded with a more natural feel.
- Sunset Beach — Famous for spectacular sunsets and Cape May diamonds. Home to the nightly flag ceremony and SS Atlantus concrete ship wreck.
