Cape May-Lewes Ferry honors 55th anniversary with ‘55 Reasons to Ride’
The Cape May-Lewes Ferry celebrates its 55th anniversary this year and invites travelers to join in the festivities with 55 Reasons to Ride, a campaign highlighting the most popular and unique reasons to ditch the road for the scenic 17-mile trip across the Delaware Bay. Dubbed “The Best Boat Ride in America,” and among the “Top 7 Scenic Ferry Rides in the U.S.” by www.Smithsonianmag.com, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry offers travelers (more than 45 million to date) a way to enjoy their journey as they make their way between Cape May, N.J. and the Delaware beaches.
The Cape May-Lewes Ferry offers something for virtually every kind of travel enthusiast. A Reasons to Ride Pinterest Board captures the campaign, with the most popular reasons ranging from exotic animals to Instagram-worthy views:
● Dolphin sightings along the journey
● Sunsets over the Delaware Bay
● Relaxation on the outside deck chairs
● Activities for the kids such as mini golf at the terminal
● Sipping cocktails at the Lido Bar
● Experience a birdwatcher’s paradise
● One of the most scenic ferry rides in the U.S.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate our 55th anniversary by sharing what makes the Ferry so memorable for snowbirds, motorcyclists, RV’ers and family vacationers alike,” said Heath Gehrke, director of ferry operations at the Delaware River and Bay Authority/Cape May-Lewes Ferry. Travelers and ferry enthusiasts are invited to share their reasons to ride by using the hashtag #CMLFerry55.
