Cape May County lies along the southern shores of New Jersey and has long been a popular seaside vacation spot. If you book up Cape May County vacation rentals in the historic town of the same name, you'll be close to the resort's attractions, like the zoo, the winery and the old lighthouse museum. Most of the adventures here are centered around the sea. Exciting boat charters take eager anglers out on sports-fishing trips daily, while whale watching is possible if you visit in the right season.

Things to do

It's best known for the grand old Emlen Physick Estate, whose preserved interior is open to the public. You may want to climb the 199 steps in the Cape May County Lighthouse, for magnificent views across Delaware Bay and to learn about New Jersey's maritime history. Bringing kids? They will love the 500 different critters at the Cape May County Zoo that's surrounded by beautiful country gardens. If you're not, you might be better suited to tastings at the local winery and vineyard.

You can hop aboard one of the daily fishing charters to try your hand at sports-fishing. If that's not your thing and you visit Cape May in season, how about heading out to sea to catch a glimpse of the humpback whales?
