A first date idea
Climb the Cape May Lighthouse
The lighthouse at 215 Lighthouse Avenue in Cape May Point State Park has 199 steps on its spiral stair, with landings on the way up. From the watch gallery you can see Delaware Bay and the Atlantic. Hours change by season and it can close for lightning, so check before you go.
