CAPE MAY’S LATEST ACCOLADES

TripAdvisor has named Cape May number two in the nation for best beach and ninth in the world. The 2011 Traveler’s Choice Best Beach Award states,“Yes, Cape May is, technically, on the Jersey Shore. But it’s the antithesis of the Jersey Shore you’ll see on TV—instead of nightclubs and tanning parlors, you’ll find Victorian mansions and a famous lighthouse.” – from Trip Advisor 2011

 

CAPE MAY AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK

An important milestone was reached in the Bicentennial Year of 1976 when Cape May was officially designated a National Historic Landmark City, only one of five in the nation. That designation requires that the community must retain all structures in their original form and design and will insure that Cape May will remain within the architectural guidelines of the Victorian period.

Cape May is a real life picture postcard of the past. In the summer and the rest of the year it is shared by hundreds of thousands of visitors in an atmosphere that can only be found in this southernmost New Jersey community, situated below the Mason-Dixon line.
