Cape May has it all - for all types. And all Fall, there are great
events, like Victorian Week, The Food and Wine Festival, Fall Jazz
Fest, etc. Of course, there are great beaches - Cape May has been
ranked one of the top beaches in the US - one of the nicest being
just up the street (it is about 300 yards. You will pass about 5
houses and one hotel on the way. ((the blocks are narrow because they run parallel to the beach, so you pass over 3 streets with only 2 houses or one hotel on each block))There is a nice boardwalk for
running, walking, shops and some amusements and a theater across the street. The historic district is a short 4-6 block walk.
