Hot reccomendations

1-Whale watchers: Watch whales and Dolphins in the ocean:
A long day trip.
Drive to Lewes , take the ferry to Cape May(departing times; 10:20 and 1:00 pm) more info; tel 1-800-643-3779. Take the first ferry in order to arrive to the 1:00 o'clock sail to watch the mammals. We saw a lot of dolphins, but no one whale, may-be you'll be lucky.(don't forget to ask for a discount...) Than drive to Cape May to the Light House and promenade. The place is very recommended to visit.
