Visiting Cape May

Visiting Cape May

The downtown area of Cape May, New Jersey is charming. 

 

It is a very busy beach resort town, and the beach is great – but so are strolling around, eating and shopping! 

 

To get to Cape May, you get off at Exit 0 on the Garden State Parkway! 

You can take bike around town, take trolley rides, and also ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

 

Below is Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, founded in 1911.

I was thrilled to see the Dala Horse sign indicating a shop filled with lovely Swedish items. 

 

My mother was born in Sweden, and I grew up with beautiful Swedish items in my home. 

There are some other lovely places to browse:

After a hard day of shopping, take time to go to the beach! 

 

Make sure you take a Cape May umbrella!
