Cape May County is home to Corson's Inlet State Park which was built in 1969 to help protect and preserve one of the last undeveloped parts of land that runs along the state's oceanfront. This park offers extensive scenery and many opportunities for observing migratory and residential wildlife species.
The park is a natural habitat that is full of wildlife diversity, has primary and secondary sand dunes, shoreline overwash, marine estuaries, and upper-land areas that are home to hundreds of wildlife species. The inlet is used for hiking, fishing, crabbing, boating, and sunbathing.
Within this inlet there is the 98-acre Strathmere Natural Area that contains an area of undeveloped beachfront and undisturbed sand dunes. It serves as a protected nesting site for endangered birds and a breeding site for many other shorebirds.
