Oh Fudge! I almost forgot to tell you that you can’t leave the Jersey Shore without fudge and salt water taffy. In recent years Douglas has been our favorite but Laura’s fudge was our favorite forever. Not sure what swayed us and my older son likes the Fudge Kitchen also on the boards. Guess you’ll have to taste test around to decide your favorite! 😋

We’ve been going to Alfe’s for years! Used to come down for Easter with my husband and my boys and always went to Easter dinner at Alfe’s. If you like seafood tell them to put the Jacki sauce on whatever it is . lol We get it just over spaghetti at times but it is great over chicken or fish people get it over steak. It is shrimp, scallops, crab meat, fresh diced tomatoes, basil in a white wine lemon butter sauce. It is DELISH!!! It is what they are known for. And their house dressing for the salad is also the best! 😋

So this is just the part of the beach my family always came to and I have very fond memories of. I listed this because my Mom and Dad would always take us to buy a kite on our vacation and we would go down to the beach after dinner and feed the sea gulls and fly kites and then go for ice cream. Such a special memory :)

They also have really cute holiday items too. The place is bigger than it looks many nooks and crannies to explore. I love it ! 😁 So free if you like to browse but not free if you’re buying 😂

This is a great place if you want to rent a small skiff or a pontoon boat for 4 or 8 hours. We always have a good time fishing and crabbing and I recommend the pontoon for comfort. In my opinion I’d rather do 4 hours on a pontoon than 8 hours on a skiff to make up the difference in price if that is a deciding factor. Overall a pontoon Is definitely more expensive but worth it. And you can rent your poles and crab traps right there too!

Cape May Fun
Here’s all the things we love to do and places we like to go in Cape May
It is beautiful here! My Mom and Dad loved this beach and would take us there at least once while we were on vacation. This is as we called it the beach with the stones. When I was a child and you walked to the edge of the water it was nothing but beautiful stones polished from churning in the waves. People make jewelry from the stones and it is where you can find Cape May Diamonds. There is a store and a place to eat as well as mini golf. They have a flag ceremony every night at 7 pm and play the National Anthem as they honor a veteran each night at the ceremony. There is also a sunken ship from around WWI the USS Atlantus a concrete ship that sunk just off the coast. You can see what’s left of it sticking out of the water. The sunsets on the bay are absolutely amazing and why it got it’s name Sunset Beach.

This is a living history museum. If you want to see how people lived in the 1700’s when America fist got it’s independence this is the place. With costumed actors , blacksmiths , butter being churned, gift shops with home made jams and handmade quilts. Truthfully my parents took us here when I was about 13 . My younger sister loved it my girlfriend and I couldn’t get out of there fast enough we were miserable all we wanted was the beach, the boards and the boys! My Father must have known and it is why we spent the day at Historic Cold Springs Village 😂
