Coastal and offshore lighthouses have helped mariners navigate the Delaware Bay for years, but the offshore lighthouses are best seen by boat. To aid ships sailing the treacherous mid-channel of Delaware Bay, a series of lighthouses was constructed in the 19th and early 20th century. Most of these are still operating and all are automated. They stand on pedestals surrounded by water out of sight of land. Visit nine of these offshore lighthouses aboard the Cape May Whale Watcher and learn the unique history of each on this six-hour cruise that includes breakfast and lunch buffets. The lives saved by these lighthouses are countless, even today.

The Cape May Music Festival - Bay Atlantic Symphony presents “Song and Dance” The center of Bach’s violin concerto is a breathtakingly lyrical middle movement with a sweeping melody of spiritual dimensions, shared between the soloist and orchestra. It is bookended by jaunty movements, the last being a gigue (jig). American composer Arthur Foote’s Serenade sings to us with bucolic grace and rhapsody. Tchaikovsky’s melodies are long, powerful, and gorgeous! The Andante cantabile will sweep you off your feet. And no wonder, then that Arensky chose another melody by Tchaikovsky for his variations that luxuriate in both song and dance. Join us and be swept away, and off your feet!
