Day 266 July 7 South Jersey Marina Cape May NJ

 
Cape May NJ is the nation's oldest seashore resort.  That heritage dates from at least 1812; peaking architecturally in the late 19th century.  The entire town has been proclaimed a National Historic landmark.  It is a Victorian town with quaint houses, interesting shops and a boardwalk.
We took the marina shuttle to town to see the sights and the Cape May beach.  Being the weekend "people watching" was on our agenda.
