The Cape May Point Science Center (The Center) stands nestled among the dune grasses at New Jersey’s southernmost point, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Delaware Bay to create one of the country’s most vital and bio-diverse ecosystems. Devoted to environmental protection, restoration, and conservation throughout the region, The Center advances its mission by providing unique opportunities and f

unding for advocacy, education, and research. The Center has found its home in the 38,000 square-foot Victorian structure that debuted as the Shoreham Hotel in 1889 before becoming Saint Mary by the Sea, the summer retreat for the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Lovingly maintained by the Sisters for more than 100 years, The Center would not be possible without their preservation of the building and dedicated stewardship of nature. With widespread community support and under the leadership of Cape May businessman & civic leader Robert Mullock, The Center builds on Cape May Point’s century-and-a-half-long legacy of providing a restorative backdrop for recreational, spiritual, and educational retreats. As a regional beacon for environmental education and research and will further its ecological and scientific approach through partnerships with organizations, including:

American Littoral Society

Atlantic Cape Community College

Cape May MAC

Cape May Veterinary Hospital

Cape May Whale Watch and Research Center

Cellular Tracking Technologies

Conservation Science Global

New Jersey Audubon

The Nature Conservancy

Rutgers University
