Cape May Point State Park occupies 244 acres at New Jersey’s southwestern tip, where beach, marsh, and dunes meet a major bird migration stop along the eastern seaboard. Birds gather here in fall before crossing Delaware Bay, making the area one of North America’s leading birding destinations, with hawk watches, trails, platforms, and beach observation points. Its wildlife focus dates to the 1935 Witmer Stone Wild Life Sanctuary, later damaged by emissions from a wartime magnesite plant and abandoned in 1959. The park also preserves coastal military history from World War I and World War II, while the Cape May Light remains one of its defining landmarks.
