Fishing & Water Sports:   See Listings

Fish in our back bays or on the ocean.  Take a day trip with charter captains.  Avid anglers can enjoy fishing for over 40 varieties of fish in our waters...sea bass, blue fish, black drum, weakfish, marlin...clams, oysters, mussels and crabs.  If it's water sports you like, you can rent a kayak, go eco-touring on the back bays and through the wetlands, enjoy waverunner rentals, or take a parasail ride.  Sunfish sail boats, sunkats, wake-boarding and water skiing are all available.  Sailing provides an opportunity to meet your neighbors in both Avalon & Stone Harbor's yacht clubs, with lots of social activities and lessons for children and adults alike.  Every summer enjoy the Catamaran races in Avalon.  Take a whale watching cruise in neighboring Cape May.

Birdwatching:  See Listings

Cape May County is the 10th most important birding location in the world, and we are located on a flyway where migrating birds travel from North America to South America.  The horseshoe crab, whose eggs feed the birds, spawns on the Delaware Bay, and birders come from all over the world to watch the Fall hawk migrations, and Spring bird arrivals.  Over 250 species of raptors migrate here each year and songbirds and seabirds come for the abounding vegetation of our wetlands.  Call the Cape May Bird Observatory, or the Audubon Society or Wetlands Institute for information.
