If touring bicyclist don't use this ferry then they are really missing out. There are plentiful campgrounds on the Jersey side, not to mention the bed and breakfast capitol of the world, Cape May. On the Delaware side there is Cape Henelopen State Park, which offers camping, and recreation right on the bay. From there you've got the entire Eastern shore of Maryland and Virginia to explore. Flat to rolling and beautiful. Lots of great bicycle roads leading to same towns. Back on the Jersey side a cyclist could ride up the coast, head for a bay route or head inland. About 40 miles from the ferry is one of New Jersey's best kept secrets, the Pine Barrens. The largest undeveloped land area between Massachusetts and North Carolina. Great biking roads. For anyone needing to traverse the Philly area, this area of Jersey offers much better options than the routes west of the city.
