Enjoy a Romantic New Jersey Weekend Getaway

Plan a New Jersey Weekend Getaway - Romantic Hotels, Beaches and Vacation Spots in Cape May, Frenchtown, Lambertville NJ and more.

Romantic Sunset - Cape May, NJ New Jersey, the Garden State, is one of the top weekend retreats for couples in the Northeast USA.

Between Atlantic City and Cape May, you'll find miles and miles of clean beaches, boardwalks, resort towns and summer retreats.

And inland to the north and in western New Jersey, historic small towns are ready to offer you a peaceful & secluded escape from the stress of city life.


The Best Time to Visit New Jersey: July and August can be crowded in many resort towns, especially on weekends. That makes May - June and September as the best time to see Cape May, the coast and the rest of New Jersey's top attractions. And, weekday travel is better for a cheap New Jersey weekend getaway, romantic vacation or honeymoon.

Romantic Getaways in New Jersey - Cape May

Cape May, NJ Lighthouse Historic Cape May has to be one of the most romantic beach resorts in New Jersey. For honeymoon and weekend getaways, Cape May has many great B&B’s, hotels and romantic restaurants to choose from. Things to do for couples includes:
  • carriage rides
  • boating
  • vineyard tours
  • picnics by the Cape May Lighthouse

May to October is probably best time to visit Cape May, NJ, but keep in mind that summer weekends bring many visitors. Book ahead for the best choice of romantic Cape May B&B’s, like the Queen Victoria Bed & Breakfast.

The scenic drive from Atlantic City to Cape May is a collection of beaches, boardwalks, and places for hikes and romantic picnics (you’ll find a few "quirky" attractions along the way too!) On a nice summer day, a scenic way to travel to Cape May is the ferry from Lewes, Delaware to North Cape May, NJ.
