Cape May
Cape May is a pretty seaside town at the very southern tip of New Jersey, known for its colorful Victorian houses. It has soft sandy beaches, a friendly promenade, and a tall old lighthouse.
It is famous for its gingerbread-style houses painted in cheerful colors and its beaches full of sparkly Cape May diamonds. People come to climb the lighthouse, watch dolphins, and hunt for pretty stones by the sea.
Beaches
The clean sandy beaches are perfect for building sandcastles and splashing in gentle waves. Kids love searching for the clear, shiny pebbles called Cape May diamonds.
Wildlife
Cape May is one of the best places to watch dolphins swim and birds fly during their long journeys. Boat tours help visitors spot whales and playful sea creatures.
The Lighthouse
The tall Cape May Lighthouse has stood by the water for over 150 years. Brave visitors can climb the winding steps to the top for a huge view of the ocean.
