Cape May
As America's first coastal resort, Cape May has long been a popular summer destination. This little hamlet is situated about 45 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey, 95 miles southeast of Philadelphia, and roughly 160 miles south of New York City. It is a part of the Jersey Cape's stretch of beaches and boardwalks. Less than 3,500 people call it home, but more than 50,000 tourists visit each year.
Along with its immaculate beaches, Cape May is known for being one of the Best Places to Visit in New Jersey and its collection of charming bed-and-breakfasts and over 600 Victorian structures that have been preserved. Its military presence is especially notable; during World War II, Cape May played a significant part in defending the nation, and today, around 30% of the local population serves in the armed forces. You're sure to instantly appreciate the attractiveness of this coastal retreat whether you decide to spend your days wine tasting, exploring historical monuments, or birdwatching (Cape May provides some of the best birding areas in the world).
One of the nicest places to visit in New Jersey is the tranquil little beach town of historic Cape May, which offers a wide variety of activities all year long. Visitors can take part in beach activities including boating, sailing, and seeing the Cape May Lighthouse when the sun is out. The Willow Creek Winery's wine tastings, a round of golf at Cape May National, or a trip to the Cape May County Zoo are all excellent options.
On chilly days, tourists can explore historical landmarks like the WWII Artillery Bunker at Cape May Point State Park, go on a walking tour of Cape May's food and culture, or take a guided trolley tour of the city.
