Cape May is a city and seaside resort at the tip of southern New Jersey’s Cape May Peninsula. It’s known for its grand Victorian houses such as the Emlen Physick Estate, now a museum with a preserved interior from the era. Shops and restaurants line the Washington Street Mall, 3 pedestrianized blocks of Washington Street. The Cape May Lighthouse provides views across the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
Quartz stones known as Cape May diamonds wash up on the cape’s many beaches. The wreck of the S.S. Atlantus, a WWI-era concrete ship that ran aground in 1926, is visible from Sunset Beach, near the lighthouse. Cape May’s involvement in WWII is documented at the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, which houses aircraft and interactive displays at Cape May Airport. Once a center for whaling, Cape May is now a jumping-off point for marine life–watching cruises to see bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales swimming offshore. The Cape May Bird Observatory offers tours of the diverse habitats that attract migrating birds.
