Review:
Cape May is one of New Jersey's most popular seaside resort areas. The city is known for its stunning Victorian-era houses, which are all designated within the Cape May Historic District, making the entire city a National Historic Landmark.
Stunning historic houses include the Emlen Physick Estate, which is operated as a living history museum.
The Cape May Lighthouse and the World War II Lookout Tower are also operated as living history sites, overseen by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and Humanities.
Visitors can enjoy excellent opportunities for birdwatching on the city's beaches, view dolphins and whales aboard year-round cruises, or view stunning "Cape May diamonds" clear quartz pebbles at sites like Sunset Beach. Charming shops and restaurants line the Washington Street Mall pedestrian mall area and city boardwalk. Cape May Map
