Cape May
| Recenter Map To This Location |
Soon you arrive in the granddaddy of all the summer shore communities, Cape May, now popular year-round. Difficult as it is to imagine, in the early 1800s holidaymakers came to Cape May to wade in the ocean waters in woolen clothing. By the middle of the 19th century Cape May had become the country’s number-one resort and today the historic Victorian town has many inns and guesthouses just a short walk from the beach, the boardwalk, the shops, and the restaurants. Visitors can enjoy trolley and carriage tours of the historic district, and sightseeing and whale-watching cruises. The walking tour of the historic Victorian section of town is especially worthwhile: enjoy the variety of Victorian style and trim—and the imagination of the owners in their choice of paint colors. Information is available at the Welcome Center (609-884-9562). The Cape May Point State Park and the Cape May Lighthouse are also interesting attractions to visit, as is the Cape May County Historical Society Museum.
