Cape May Point State Park is a lovely little place to get away to. It's the perfect place to go to see some wildlife while around the Jersey shore and is home to some amazing migratory bird species. You also get to see some history while you're there, including the Cape May Lighthouse and a WWII bunker. Check here for some helpful information about the park.
The trail itself is very pretty and is easy-peasy to walk since it's mostly a board walk. It's really more of a pleasant stroll than a hike. Honestly, there's not a whole lot to say about this trail that the pictures of it can't say better. So, here are some images of the lovely Blue Trail.
The Cape May Lighthouse, built in 1859 from the bricks of an earlier lighthouse that stood in the same spot. You can climb it for a fee during certain times of the year.

I hope this has been enough to prove to you that the Jersey shore isn't just a bunch of overly-tanned crazy people and bikinis. There's natural beauty here, too! Keep wandering, and enjoy your hike.
