Station Cape May
Reporting Aboard
Congratulations and welcome to Station Cape May! Cape May is one of the largest small boat stations on the east coast with a large contingent of reserve personnel. Cape May, NJ is a national historic landmark and it is the No. 2 spot on the east coast for scallops that are the third-most valuable catch nationally, behind crabs and salmon. Cape May is located at Exit '0' of the Garden State Parkway as a seaside resort that draws visitors from around the world. It was recognized as one of America's top ten beaches and in the summer, its population expands by as many as 40-50,000 visitors.
As one of fourteen tenant commands located on TRACEN Cape May - the birthplace of the coast guard's enlisted corps, we're very fortunate to operate out of a brand new eleven million dollar multi-mission building that sits on the waterfront of Cape May harbor. We have access to the newly renovated Coast Guard Exchange Marketplace that has a selection of groceries, child development center, medical/dental clinic, all hands club, work-life staff, administration office, a large gym, swimming pool, fishing access and multiple MWR sponsored activities. Upon arriving you can expect to be given the boat crew physical assessment within your first two weeks. If you have any questions in regards to your specific requirements, please call your sponsor. Also, you can consider the following information below to make your transition easier.
