Cape May is a historic seaside town at the southern tip of New Jersey, known for its grand Victorian houses and as a popular vacation destination. Its streets are lined with quaint shops, galleries, and restaurants that cater to the tourists who flock to the area for its charm and the relaxing atmosphere. The town's architecture is a significant draw, with many buildings dating back to the 19th century, contributing to its designation as a National Historic Landmark. Cape May is also a birdwatcher's paradise, especially during migration seasons, and the nearby Cape May Point State Park offers trails, the iconic lighthouse, and stunning views of where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Cape May's cultural scene includes live theater and music, particularly during the summer months when the population swells with visitors.
