    The Mooring Bed and Breakfast - Cape May, New JerseyComfortable elegance awaits at The Mooring Bed and Breakfast … the only Cape May Bed and Breakfast originally designed as a guest house! Built in 1882 and updated every year since 1996, The Mooring now offers eight uncluttered guest rooms and two suites, each with a mix of period antiques and contemporary furnishings to ensure a memorable and comfortable stay.

    This Cape May Bed and Breakfast is located just one building back from the beach in this premier Jersey Shore vacation resort, and is within walking distance to Cape May's many attractions.

    Begin your day with a bountiful breakfast served to you at your own table for two in our dining room. Daily choices include one of Leslie's signature French Toasts (Coconut Crumb and Bananas Foster are two favorites) or eggs cooked to order (try our take on migas, a Tex-Mex combo of eggs scrambled with cilantro, tortilla chips, and cheddar). Vince is always on hand to help you plan your day, should you need recommendations, directions, or advice!

    Stroll the tree-lined streets and delight in Cape May's many architectural gems, or take a tour by trolley or horse-drawn carriage. Explore the shops in the Washington Street Mall. Indulge in an afternoon of well-deserved pampering at Cape May's own day spa. Enjoy a picnic lunch beneath the vines at the Cape May Winery. Visit the Zoo, bird-watch at the Point, or just spend the day on the sand, lulled by the sounds of the surf!

    Cape May has something for everyone, for every season … call us today to plan your escape!
