From Japan’s Stamp Rallies to Cape May County

The Do The Shore Stamp Rally takes its cue from Japan’s beloved stamp rally tradition, where travelers collect unique stamps at train stations, museums, shops, and local landmarks as they explore. We brought that same collect-the-memory spirit to Cape May County, swapping train platforms for beach towns, local stops, and summer adventures. Grab your passport, visit participating locations, collect six stamps, and unlock your limited-edition Do The Shore beach tag and weekly chances to win 2 Morey's Pier wristbands all summer long.
