Town Bank


Town Bank is the place of the oldest European settlement in Cape May County. Tradition has it that whalers from New England came here in response to reports of numerous whales in the Delaware Bay. The last (or first) house north of the Cape May Canal is called "Angel Point" by its owners. The house is an easily recognized landmark from the Bay and is shown at the left below. At the end of Ferry Road there is a parking lot which is a favorite place for viewing awesome sunsets. The center picture below shows a pre-sunset gathering there. One of the main landmarks on the beachfront is Whaler's Cove restaurant and bayside bar and deck. The picture on the right shows Whaler's Cove as seen from the edge of the beach. This area of the beach is very active in the summer. Sunbathers, sailors, kayakers, anglers, and beachcombers share the ambiance.

Whaler's Cove offers three degrees of outdoor exposure as we see in the left picture below. The live palm trees add a touch of Key West to the scene. Across from Whaler's Cove there is a memorial to the first settlement and settlers of Town Bank. This well-kept little monument is shown in the center picture below. Another touch of Key West at Whaler's Cove is the sunset over the water. The picture on the right shows a typical late-evening scene from the deck.
