Cape May is a peninsula off the New Jersey coast that was named a National Historic District for its large collection of 19th century wood framed Victorian buildings. The walkable destination is divided into three municipalities, West Cape May, Cape May Point and Cape May. A welcome center offers island information, maps and guides. Dining options range from casual seafood shacks to fine cuisine. Explore the outdoors with a trip to the beach, a hike through the nature trails, or guided whale watching trips. Visit art galleries and shops in town, located in historic buildings, or take a ghost tour. The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum includes a hangar filled with historic naval airplanes.
