Cape May is a very special seaside town tucked away in Southern New Jersey. It has history; it has entertainment; it has the seaside. You and your kids can ride bikes or a surrey and explore the Victorian homes, take a horse-drawn carriage, climb to the to of a light house, shop in the town’s center or just lie by the pool. Kids can play miniature golf, look for diamonds at Sunset Beach, search for seashells, go dolphin watching, play in an arcade, have frozen custard at a stand or just sit back and take in the cool breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.
