Cape May Terminal Construction Advisory

Construction on the Cape May campus of the Cape May – Lewes Ferry began in October. The construction obstructs vehicle, bicycle, and foot access to the terminal for ferry foot passengers and Stowaway restaurant patrons.

Please see the guides below for directions on how to access our facilities during this time.

Construction Access for Foot Passengers and Stowaway Restaurant

Follow the detour signs past the usual entrance, continuing on Lincoln Blvd until you reach Beach Dr. Follow the detour signs and turn left onto Beach Dr towards Douglas Park. Follow the detour sign and turn left into the temporary entrance to the terminal parking lot. Once in the lot, turn left and proceed to park.

Be aware that this is now a two-way traffic area.

UPDATE FOR JANUARY 19, 2026: Lower Township will have a construction project impacting access to the Ferry Terminal and Stowaways. Please see the revised  “Ferry Foot Passengers and Stowaways Patron Map” in the link below.
