Cape May, New Jersey, USA

Located at the southern tip of the Cape May Peninsula, where Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, Cape May is one of the country’s oldest holiday resort destinations. Settled by whalers and fishermen, the town suffered a devastating fire in 1878 and was rebuilt. As a result, Cape May is the only city in the United Sates that is entirely a historic district, with nearly 600 preserved Victorian buildings.

The natural beauty of the southernmost beach has been a draw for centuries. A promenade runs along the sand making it perfect for biking or jogging. On Sunset Beach, you can search for Cape May Diamonds (polished quartz that washes up on shore).
