Cape May’s Area Attractions
It’s no surprise that the main area attraction in Cape May, NJ is the beach, followed closely by the historic Victorian homes and mansions that date back well over a century.

In spring, the shorebird migration turns Cape May, NJ into a real treat for nature lovers, as hundreds of thousands of birds make a stop on our beaches for a snack of horseshoe crab eggs.

Of course, there are birds aplenty any time of year, and among the dunes are other treasures. In addition to the fascinating shells the Atlantic tosses on shore each day, beachcombers might turn up some collectible beach glass or even a surf-polished piece of quartz, known locally as a Cape May Diamond, treasured for hundreds of years since they were first collected and traded by the Kechemeche Indians, the area’s native American residents.
