The Wild Wood Boardwalk is open to bicycles until 11 AM then transportation is either by the city train or on foot.
Cape May at the southern tip of New Jersey holds a distinction of America’s oldest seashore resort. At the tip of the 20 mile long sandspit, the community is a living museum of Victorian charm and architecture. In the 1800s, Cape May became the summer destination for well healed Americans. Architecturally Victorian in style, several hundred of the grand summer homes have been preserved and restored. Cape May is designated a national historic landmark, one of only five towns in the country. That designation requires a community must retain all structures in their original form and design. Added insurance, Cape May will remain within the architectural guidelines of the Victorian period.
In the 21st century, the community is still a popular summer destination along the Jersey Shore. The most significant landmark in town Congress Hall, once served as a summer white house for Benjamin Harrison, it was also a favorite of John Philip Souza who conducted his famous concerts on the hotel lawn.
