As the weather turns from warm summer breezes to brisk chilly nights, the City of Cape May is transformed from a summer paradise to a winter wonderland.
Numerous bed and breakfasts are decorated to the nines as holiday lights outline the beauty of the Victorian homes. Trees along the Washington Street Mall shine bright, lighting the way for shoppers looking for that perfect gift.
A thirty-foot tree, decorated with colorful lights, is the centerpiece at Congress Hall. People bundled up in heavy coats -- appropriately dressed for a cold Thursday evening -- wandered the resort's annual Winter Wonderland that features a shopping village, a carousel and train rides.
Whether walking or driving through America's oldest seaside resort, the spirit of the holidays will greet you around every corner.

You were smart to stay quiet about those places and keep them all to yourselves. :-)
That’s a shame.
We rarely vacationed at the shore (too expensive for our family), but often visited (only an hour’s drive to the Central Jersey beaches). The farther down you go, the nicer it seems (except Atlantic City). Despite the depictions on “Jersey Shore”, there are several “dry towns” that were ideal for us to take our young children for vacations.
One of my favorite places.
Can we go?
Yes. However, the requirement is that we take lots of pictures. Never know when they might come in handy.
Yes, several of the south Jersey shore “dry towns” were originally Methodist summer destinations, with camp meetings, etc. Teetotalling was a big thing with Methodists from the 1770s until their hard left turn in the 1960s.
Those towns are still nice; they avoided the fate of Seaside Heights.
