Cape May Cove Beach & Lighthouse
OnlineThis live camera looks out over Cove Beach at the southern tip of Cape May, where rolling dunes and wind-swept beach grass frame a wide sweep of the Atlantic shoreline. On the horizon, the iconic Cape May Lighthouse stands sentinel over the cove. The bay-facing vantage makes this one of the East Coast's most celebrated spots for sunsets.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
The Cove and Its Beach
Cove Beach sits at the southernmost edge of New Jersey, where the Atlantic meets the mouth of Delaware Bay. The foreground of soft sand and protective dunes gives way to a gently curving shoreline favored by surfers, anglers, and beachcombers.
The Cape May Lighthouse
Rising in the distance, the Cape May Lighthouse has guided mariners since 1859. Its unmistakable tapered silhouette anchors the scene and marks the entrance to one of the Jersey Shore's most historic seaside resorts.
A Window on the Atlantic
The wide panorama lets viewers follow the rhythm of the tides, the comings and goings of shorebirds, and the ever-changing color of the sea. It is a tranquil, naturalistic alternative to the busier boardwalk beaches nearby.
Famous for Its Sunsets
Because this stretch faces the bay rather than the open ocean, it is renowned across the region for spectacular sunsets that paint the calm waters of the cove in vivid hues — a daily spectacle that draws crowds to the sand's edge.
