CITY OF CAPE MAY

Cape May, NJ, is a charming seaside resort at the southern tip of the Cape May Peninsula. Known as "The Nation’s Oldest Seashore Resort," it boasts stunning Victorian architecture, earning it a National Historic Landmark designation. The town is famous for its beaches, fine dining, shopping, and vibrant arts scene, including festivals like the Cape May Music Festival and Exit Zero Jazz Festival.

Cape May is also a top destination for birdwatching, with over 400 recorded species, and offers ecotourism experiences like marine mammal watching and fishing trips. The Cape May Harbor supports a thriving fishing industry, making it the second-largest fishing port on the East Coast.

If you're planning a visit, you might enjoy exploring the Washington Street Mall, strolling the beachfront promenade, or collecting Cape May Diamonds, which are clear quartz pebbles that wash down from the Delaware River.
