Among New Jersey’s many beautiful coastal regions, Cape May stands out for being a National Historic Landmark in and of itself. Over 600 restored Victorian Era houses make this city the largest community of such in the country. Cape May is also believed to be a haunt for famous pirates such as Captain Kidd and Stede Bonnet. Your little buccaneers might even be interested in a pirate ship cruise, so make sure you go visit Dark Star Pirate Cruises, over at the nearby Wildwood Crest. Another fun cruise you can try would be a whale-watching tour by Cape May Whale Watch & Research Center, situated at the nearby Lower Township.
With so many interesting things to see and do, it would be great to also book a place by the sea. Scroll down for the best beachfront Airbnb vacation rentals in Cape May, New Jersey.
