Cape May, New Jersey, is a charming historic Victorian seaside town, with lots to see and do, sightseeing, shopping, fishing, or do nothing and sunbathe by the ocean or the pool. The beach is across the street from the hotel. You may want to have your significant other join you and spend a few extra days (just a thought).
