Cape May–Lewes Ferry
A car-and-passenger ferry crossing Delaware Bay in about 85 minutes, linking Lewes with Cape May, New Jersey.
The Cape May–Lewes Ferry, which opened in 1964, covers about 27 km in 85 minutes and carries vehicles. The ferry has a snack bar and open decks, and it passes Cape Henlopen and the Breakwater Harbor Light. In summer you can often spot bottlenose dolphins. Many visitors take the foot-passenger ticket for a day trip to Cape May, lunch in the historic Victorian town, and return. Vehicle spaces are tight on summer weekends and holidays, so book online. The Lewes terminal is beside the entrance to Cape Henlopen State Park.
