The Cape May lighthouse is on a beautiful historic and well preserved strip of beach. While it's a pretty long walk to the top it's not unmanageable -- We walked it last year and one of our then two year olds decided to make it all the way to the top on her own -- that tiny girl deserved a medal! If she can do it then I think just about every one can.
Around the lighthouse are some lovely gardens, a cute little gift shop, a bird watching area and a number of old outposts from WWII.
