ALL ABOARD THE CAPE MAY LEWES FERRY
Rediscover the thrill of exploration
THE CAPE MAY-LEWES FERRY
is an important transportation link connecting North Cape May, N.J., and Lewes, Del., part of America’s Marine Highway Program. For visitors to Cape May, Cumberland and Atlantic counties, a ride on the ferry is an invitation to discover charming Victorian architecture and pristine beaches. The iconic ferry service offers a unique and scenic way
to travel between the two states, making it more than a means of travel – it’s a gateway to rediscovering the joy of travel. Passengers can choose the open-air observation deck for a breath of fresh sea air, or the climate- controlled comfort of the indoor lounges. Guest amenities on board include food and beverage service, gift shops, and free wi-fi.
The ferry operates every day, year-round,
inviting foot passengers, cyclists and drivers to enjoy the 85-minute crossing.
The ferry can accommodate vehicles of all sizes, including cars, SUVs, pick-up trucks and motorcycles. Fares for the ferry service are reasonable and vary depending on the passenger’s age, vehicle type, and travel dates.
The modern terminals at Cape May and Lewes offer a range of amenities, including restaurants, lounges and gift shops. Shuttle services to and from Cape May’s Welcome Center are available during the summer season and early fall.
Taking a bicycle and exploring the resorts on either side of the Delaware Bay is a great way to spend a day.
The ferry is a convenient way to travel between New Jersey and Delaware, especially for those who want to avoid the traffic on the highways. Best of all, a ride on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry offers a great way to take in the natural beauty of the region and discover the thrill of exploration.
