Cape May

Introduction

By Joan Cutten

Step back in to Victorian times with a trip to charming Cape May, NJ. Once a thriving retreat for wealthy Philadelphians, Cape May lost its popularity when Atlantic City began to establish itself as the region's premiere seaside getaway.

Eventually other beach communities sprang up and Cape May became all but forgotten.

Thankfully, Cape May was saved as other historic areas were being demolished to make way for modern architecture. With the recently-renewed interest in historic preservation, Cape May’s Victorian splendor has been rediscovered for all to appreciate.

Cape May caters to many interests. With all its activities and seasonal special events, you can expect a bustling town year-round. In the fall and winter, take a historic tour, shop or rent a bike and stay at a romantic B & B. In the spring and summer, take the kids and go swimming at the beautiful beach, lay by the pool at your motel or rent a kayak.
