Although Cape May Lighthouse is a major attraction for many visitors to the area, the parks constantly changing shoreline, dunes, freshwater coastal marsh and ponds, forested islands and varied uplands make it a well-known location for viewing the fall bird migration. Cape May Point State Park is a key site on the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail and features an environmental center with a classroom for interpretive programs. There is also a museum that concentrates on the area's natural and historic features.
The park is located near the southern end of the Garden State Parkway.
