Cape May Point is the southernmost coastal point of New Jersey. Located here is the Cape May Lighthouse. At the base of the lighthouse, is a very narrow beach. Piles of rock held together by plastic mesh make up a rip rap dune structure.

A World War II Bunker also stands on the beach near the base of the lighthouse. Cape May Point was once a military base and the Bunker was built as part of the Harbor Defense Project in 1942. At the time of its construction, the Bunker was 900 feet inland and surrounded by earth and sod. Littoral drift and ocean currents have changed the coastline so much that at high tide, the Bunker now stands completely in water.
