Dining

Come for light bites or multi-course dinners of American regional cuisine, as well as piano music on the weekends. For a cool drink and excellent people-watching, park yourself on the Front Porch instead.

Location

Home to the oldest seaside resort in the country and plenty of Victorian charm, Cape May is a National Historic District, with almost 600 preserved Victorian buildings, evening ghost tours and a lighthouse that dates back to 1858. Beyond the town’s history is a variety of local activities and culture to experience; in addition to options for wining, dining, shopping and taking in the arts scene, activities include seasonal hits like whale watching and ever-popular beach bumming.
