Our campground is located halfway between Cape May and Wildwood, so today we visited both places. We started off visiting Wildwood, where we walked on both the beach and the boardwalk. We are impressed by the size of the beach compared to most other places. There is no doubt that we are traveling off-season, as… Continue reading Wildwood, NJ, and Cape May Sunset Beach
Taking the ferry
Today is a first for us…we take a ferry with the RV, to cross from Lewes DE to Cape May, NJ. It all went very smoothly, and it was a pleasant experience. The crossing itself takes roughly 90 minutes.
