David Dunleavy Sea Life Cape May Legends Wall Mural

We love to travel and one of our favorite places to visit is Cape May in New Jersey. It’s one of those coastal towns that is rich is history and culture, and is located on the most southern tip of New Jersey. Millions of visitors flock to Cape May every year and there is always something going on in Cape May, year-round.

As a person who loves looking at street art and wall murals, I’m always hunting them down when we travel. One of my favorite artists is David Dunleavy and he paints some of the prettiest sea life wall murals that I’ve ever seen! Matter of fact, I’ve been running around for 5 years now photographing them and documenting them for my own personal enjoyment.

This particular one is called “Cape May Legends” and measures 65 feet high by 300 feet long. it’s quite large and I just love it! It’s located on the side of a large building in downtown Cape May and faces a large parking lot. If you want to get a nice view of it and photograph it, you’ll want to go early in the morning or during the “off season” to avoid the parked cars obstructing your view of it in the parking lot.

Over the years the salt water and intense sunlight has caused the colors to fade, but if you get close to it, you can make out the entire scene. If you look closely, you’ll see all of these victorian style homes lined up across the top of the scene with dolphins, whales and sea turtles swimming in the Atlantic Ocean…right off the coast of Cape May. I just love it!

If you ever get to visit Cape May in New Jersey, I hope you seek out this beautiful outdoor wall mural. It’s quite large in size and is really something to see!
