The Cape May-Lewes Ferry turns a drive into an outing. The crossing gives wide views of the bay and lighthouses, with a good chance of spotting dolphins from the deck.

Leashed dogs ride free. The Cape May terminal has green space, a small dog park, and seating by the water, which makes the wait before boarding easy.
