 Poverty Beach traces its' history back to the early twentieth century when the east end of Cape May was largely marshland with very few homes or even streets for that matter. However, that was all to change when the Army Corps of Engineers decided to dramatically improve the inlet and access into Cape May Harbor in the early 1900's. By dredging the inlet and casting the dredge spoils onto the marshlands of east Cape May, new land was, in essence, created. Ultimately, this very large tract of land became Cape May's last significant, undeveloped piece of real estate in town.
Poverty Beach remained largely unpopulated, though, as the more developed center of town enjoyed the influx of tourists each year for the summer season. The beach area least accessible in town, Poverty Beach continued to go unnoticed and of primary value as a critical wildlife habitat. |

 The Cove Beach is located in Cape May, a small seaside resort town on the southernmost tip of New Jersey. Cape May is noted for being a federally designated National Historic Landmark District, due to the 600 plus Victorian style homes that grace our streets. Cape May also is home to one of the top five commercial fishing fleets on the East Coast of the U.S. as well as the nation's only Basic Training facility for the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Cove Beach plays host each day to hundreds of swimmers, sunbathers, surfers, kayakers and hikers. Located at the very south west end of town, with a totally unobstructed view each day of the sunset, this beach also features a picturesque view of the Cape May Lighthouse. The Lighthouse is a functioning navigational aid still to this day and is also operated as a museum, where you can climb the interior staircase to the top for a bird's eye view of the Cape... |

Currently State Park Beach is being renovated - the whole process is called a Beach Nourishment Project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. According to their plan beachfill activities will include the restoration of a protective dune/berm, extending 1.9 miles from just west of the 3rd Avenue terminal groin in Cape May City to the Central Avenue groin in Cape May Point. Initial construction will utilize 1.4 million cubic yards of sand with periodic nourishment of 650,000 cubic yards every 4 years. For more information please visit this link:
