Outlet Shopping Tip: Start with a Ferry Ride

Shop Til You Drop!

If a shopping trip is in your future either to help bring out the new you, have a fun day away with shopping buddies, or to bring the kids for dreaded school, camp or general clothing updates (they just don’t stop growing!) here are three tips to make the day extra special.

We especially like Tip #2, because the Ferry ride over to Lewes, DE from Cape May, NJ helps keep kids preoccupied and takes a lot of their nervous energy away before and after shopping. It gives you a fighting chance to keep them trying on clothes in dressing rooms rather than chasing them from unscheduled hide ‘n go seek games under clothing racks.

If you’re going with some adult buddies, stop for Margaritas in Lewes (Agave is a favorite), or sip on our famous Orange and Grapefruit Crushes during your Ferry ride back. It’s the ultimate celebratory end to a great shopping day!

Tip #2: Riding the ferry to Delaware is a great family excursion. Not only do you reap the benefits in savings, but you get to relax on the ferry, look for fun marine wildlife, and distract the shopping naysayers.

Tip #3: Make a day of it! Hit the outlets, then take some time to explore the historic town of Lewes before heading back home. Click the box for some great ways to explore Lewes
