Famous for its sunsets and surfers, the Cove Beach at 2nd Street in Cape May has much more to offer the discerning eye and curious mind.
Bring the family for fun and discovery with the Nature Center of Cape May as we explore the beach, ocean and dunes of one of Cape Island’s most beautiful coastal habitats.
Program Director Sue Ann Slotterback leads Beachcombing the Cove every Friday from now through September 4 at 8:30 a.m.
Participants will seine the shallows with a net to see exactly what they have been swimming with, comb the shoreline to learn about the sea’s treasures and walk along the dunes in search of wildlife.
Meet Slotterback at the 2nd St. Pavilion on the promenade on Beach Drive in Cape May.
The fee for Beachcombing the Cove is $10 adults and $5 children ages 3 to 12. There is no fee for children under three years.
Naturalist Paige Cunningham explores a different side of the Cove with her evening program entitled Nighttime on the Beach.
Join her as she searches for the elusive Ghost Crab and other mysterious nocturnal creatures from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. every Thursday from now through the end of July.
Bring a flashlight and bug spray, and meet at the beach access point at the end of Mount Vernon Ave., off of Broadway (toward the Cove).
There is free parking along the streets after 6 p.m. Additional Nighttime on the Beach programs will be offered on August 13 and 20 from 8- 9 p.m.
The fee for Nighttime on the Beach is $10 for adults and $7 for children ages 3-12, reduced to $8 for adults and $5 for children 3-12 who are members of the New Jersey Audubon Society. Children under the age of three are admitted free.
