Cape May — Cape May, on the Jersey shore, was America’s first seaside resort, at one time rivaling Newport, Rhode Island, in class and status. Now it’s the laid-back vacation spot of choice for young families, East Coast honeymooners, and those seeking an easy sun-and-surf summer getaway. Although not as popular in the winter, weekends draw couples from nearby New York City and Washington, D.C., with the promise of a relaxing escape spent curled up by a fire in a cozy, Victorian-era B&B.
