The opening of Stone Harbor Point to vehicles, a popular recreational spot, has been postponed an additional five (5) days until September 22nd in light of active bird nesting in the area. The opening was originally delayed from September 5th until September 19th, but there are still a few unfledged chicks out at the Point. It is believed that the chicks will only need about 5 days until they are able to fly. The delay in opening Stone Harbor Point to vehicles allows the birds to complete their nesting cycle without undue stress or disturbance, contributing to the survival and growth of their populations. This decision reflects the Borough’s commitment to responsible stewardship of its environment.

September 14, 2023 – A message from the Cape May County Emergency Management Communications Center
Here are the key messages for our region in regards to potential impacts from Lee at the end of this week.
1 – Dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents are already affecting our region. These will only become more severe through the remainder of the week as the storm moves northward in the western Atlantic. They should start to subside by Sunday.
2 – The ocean waters are becoming increasingly hazardous for small craft as seas build, with waves possibly exceeding 10 feet by Friday.
3 – Minor coastal flooding and beach erosion will become a concern as the system makes its closest approach late Friday into Saturday.
4 – Winds over the ocean and adjacent near-shore regions may approach gale force (gusts to near 40 mph) late Friday into Saturday.
5 – At this time we a confident that no additional impacts will occur as the track of Lee is expected to remain well east.
We have also attached the current track forecast and wind speed probabilities as well as a graphic showing current local hazards.
