Spot Guide
Poverty Beach sits near the southern tip of Cape May where the coastline curves to face south, picking up S and SSE swells that the rest of the Jersey Shore misses. The sandy bottom produces mellow, rolling waves that are ideal for beginners and those looking for uncrowded conditions away from the tourist-heavy Cape May beaches. North winds blow offshore here, making it a good option when NW winds are messing up the east-facing beaches further north.
