Food for thought; Welcome to New Jersey and it's free to come here, but you can't do anything free while you're here, Then, when you leave, it'll cost you at least ten bucks to get back out of the state! Research free things to do during your summer vacation, Don't give up your hard earned money, wait till you see what comes down the pike just before Memorial Day. Locals, I suggest you put your house up for sale. Although, there will always be those who want to live at the shore and get ripped off.
Moderator's Note: Nothing to do for free - really?! An outdoor stroll on any of the beaches - ocean or bay - or along the North Wildwood seawall or one of the boardwalks or along the bay in North Cape May ... hike/bike in Belleplain State Park ... a visit to the Cape May County Zoo ... or to one of our outstanding libraries ... or check out other options here: https://www.dotheshore.com/free-activities, with even more free activities during the summer!
