Cape May, New Jersey
Cape May combines beaches, a nationally recognized Victorian historic district, a working harbor, Washington Street Mall shopping, year-round dining, arts, whale watching, fishing, lodging and one of New Jersey's best-known resort-town identities.
The city is compact and walkable in its central districts, but municipal boundaries matter: nearby West Cape May, Cape May Point, North Cape May and Lower Township use the Cape May name or 08204 mailing addresses without being inside Cape May City.
