Cape May, has been recognized as one of the best beach towns on the East Coast by Condé Nast Traveler. The publication highlighted the town's 'dreamy summer destination' appeal, complete with a festive promenade and pink triple-decker Victorian homes. The list includes 14 beach towns from Maine to Florida, each offering unique summer experiences.
In addition to this accolade, Cape May has also been named the World's Best Destination for Birding by National Geographic. The magazine noted that the town's narrow peninsula acts as a 'bird funnel,' attracting songbirds during their spring and fall migrations. Birdwatchers can potentially spot up to 20 species of warblers, each in their own colorful costume.
These recognitions underscore Cape May's appeal as a destination offering both beach relaxation and nature exploration.
