A few months ago, Tony and I were itching for a quick getaway so I went on google and looked for “top spots for quick getaways around NJ” and chose Cape May. Road tripping to the beach during the cold season seemed like a dumb idea at first but it was actually perfect. We stayed for a night at a cute hotel by the water, we told them we were recently engaged and they upgraded our room and sent us a bottle of champagne!
The next morning we woke up early, bundled up and walked to the beach to see the sunrise. It was perfect. I asked our readers for their favorite spots to eat and things to do in Cape May!
We asked and you all delivered! We asked our readers for recommendations of what to do in Cape May, and we received plenty of great spots to visit and views to check out. If you’re looking to book your next spring/summer trip, here are some tips!
