11 days in New Jersey & Los Angeles Itinerary

Cape May represents the other Jersey Shore--the one you don't see on TV--the one with a rich history and a refined, relaxed atmosphere.

And it doesn't end there: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cape May County Park & Zoo, take some stellar pictures from World War II Lookout Tower, take a tour by water with Boat Tours & Water Sports, and stroll through Sunset Beach.
