Best time to visit Year Round

Cape May Dog Park gives visiting and local dogs a place to run off leash in a town where most beaches are closed to them for half the year. The fenced, double-gated space has a water fountain with bowls, covered seating, and waste bags on hand.

It is not large, but there is plenty of room for a good romp, and the mix of locals and vacationers keeps it friendly.
