About Cape May

A beach town at the southern tip of New Jersey, known for its Victorian-era houses, a compact historic district you can cover on foot, and a promenade along the sand. Summer is the peak season and lodging drives the budget then, while spring and autumn are quieter. Most visitors drive in, or take the ferry across Delaware Bay from Lewes, Delaware. Philadelphia is the nearest large airport.
