Victorian Cape May City, the "Nation's Oldest Seashore Resort,"

Cape May has been welcoming visitors for more than a century. With over 600 authentically restored and preserved Victorian structures, the city is a National Historic Landmark site and has achieved national recognition as one of the best Bed and Breakfast Inn resorts in the country.

Cape May is the jewel of New Jersey, from its pristine beaches to its ornate Victorian Bed and Breakfast Inns, this city is always at the top of the "Best of" list in the country. 

Summer is always a great time to visit Cape May and fall is spectacular, but if it's magic your looking for, return to Victorian Cape May during the Christmas holiday season. The homes are decorated and the City is transformed into a live Dickens Village.
