Hit the beach bar at the ICONA for a drink and a snack. This bar is open to non-hotel guests and often has live music.
The 7 mile beach running from Avalon to Stone Harbor is stunning! However, you will need beach tags to access during peak hours. The ICONA, Concord, and Beachcomber hotels all provide beach tags to guests. If you are staying at a rental that does not provide beach tags, they can be purchased while entering or once on the beach.
Swing by the Avalon Brew Pub @ ICONA for a bite, a drink, or a beer flight. The ABP brews their own beer on-site and has a rotating selection of brews from which to choose. The food here is also great and perfect for grabbing a quick bite on-site.
Have yourself a Cape May freaking wine mixer! The Cape May winery does tastings at their location, but call ahead if you want to make a reservation for a large group. This is about a ~30 minute drive from the ICONA.
Monkey around at the Cape May County Park & Zoo! The zoo about a ~15 minute drive from ICONA.
Get your mini-golf on in Avalon! Pirate Island is kid and adult friendly, and there's ice cream across the street. Bonus!
There are Uncle Bill's locations in both Avalon and Stone Harbor but the Stone Harbor location is walkable from ICONA. A Jersey Shore breakfast staple!
Cute Margarita & Cantina bar right on the bay in Stone Harbor.
96th Street is the main drag in Stone Harbor- there are lots of cute shops and restaurants to check out - about a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk from ICONA.
