Cape May, the Jersey Shore Town That Peaks in November

Come for the Victorian mansions and world-class bird-watching. Stay for the three-block shopping district that ends in sticky buns — and cheese.

Cape May, the Jersey Shore Town That Peaks in November












We know what you’re thinking: a beach town? After Labor Day? But, rest assured, this is no mistake. Because, as many New Jerseyans will tell you, family-friendly Cape May is even better in the fall.

Sure, the weather is a bit cooler, but crowds flee, prices drop, and everything gets quieter — perfect for admiring the candy-colored Victorian homes, strolling the Cape May Promenade, hanging out at a local winery, and getting cozy at a charming boutique hotel (we’re partial to The Virginia). Not to mention, the water is technically still warm enough for the occasional dip — if that’s your thing.
