WorldAtlas.com has some suggestions for relaxing in the Garden State this summer, and Cape May is representing the south Jersey Shore!  With some of the best beaches in the country and a laid back atmosphere, Cape May is the perfect place to unwind.

Here is what they had to say in their article:

New Jersey, a small coastal state, has rich agriculture and wide-open views of the endless waters. The coastal Garden State has the wide incision of Delaware Bay at the south, Sandy Hook Bay to the north, and Barnegat Bay along the coast. New Jersey is famous for its wide-open views of farmland, boardwalks with endless water views, and small towns perfectly sitting along the coast.

Cape May

Cape May, a National Historic District in its entirety, is a lovely small town on the southern tip of the Cape May Peninsula. It is a dreamy place to chill out, where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic. Enjoy the sea, sand, and sun during a summer vacation, or visit this, one of the nation's very first vacation resort communities, from NYC on a weekend getaway. Explore the heritage with over 600 historic, preserved Victorian buildings and immerse yourself in the present-day culture at the local Food and Wine Festival.

The historic seaside town boasts a wonderful mix of modern amenities, attractions, and retro sights like Victorian home rentals by the beach and an old-fashioned amusement park along the boardwalk. Flip-flop down the beautiful boardwalk in the morning for the views and take on the tempting beach with a swimsuit and a towel for a chill-out day. Cape May's gorgeous beaches, like Higbee Beach and Poverty Beach, are perfect for lazy swims and suntanning before seeking shade at the Cape May Point State Natural Area with a scenic lighthouse.
