I originally wrote the following post on my CapeMayX website (which is no longer active) a few years back and decided on this current rainy weather stretch, the article has relevance and is worth another look.
Cape May Beaches Voted Best in the World
According to a recent survey by Trip Advisor's 20 million+ members, Cape May's beaches have been voted to be the second best in the nation and one of the 10 best in the world.

I think that's in part because families identify with our own family experience and the stories we like to share about growing up in Cape May.
