Cape May Village 3 minutes. I'm reducing the price and still have several weeks open in June, July and August. If you're not totally heart-set on L.I., Cape May is a great discovery. [ Reply | More

Take the Holland to turnpike.Get off at exit 11 (don't be fooled by earlier chances to get the Garden State) Get on the Garden State Pkwy and stay on until exit 0. It's 3 hrs from the Williamsburg or Bklyn Bridges- and so worth the trip-especially if you've got 2 weeks. [ Reply | More

thanks. will look into it. I'm still semi-new to NYC and have never been to NJ (unless you could ikea and newark airport). i do tend to like less-crowded, more rugged beaches like what I've seen in Montauk and the area. i'm from oregon, where you can go to the coast and not see anyone for miles on a beach. : ) [ Reply | More
