Cape May is for the seafood lovers and the fishermen, the nature tourists, and the beachcombers. The surrounding waters are peppered with pods of dolphins and humpback whales. Oyster bars as well as fish fries and American surf and turf all hide behind stately Georgian verandas and the town’s Victorian façades.

That’s all balanced by the indelible natural side of things. You’ll spy out rare migrating species in the Bird Observatory, feel the Atlantic salt-spray on the city beaches, sample organic wines in Willow Creek, and hit the dunes and wetlands of Cape May Point State Park.
