2. Cape May, New Jersey

The United States has a beach that suits everyone. But, if you’re looking for a wonderful destination where you can go swimming, boating, fishing, bird-watching, antique shopping, wine tasting, and being surrounded by history, then head to Cape May! We think it’s one of the most beautiful towns on the East Coast!

Cape May, New Jersey, is the perfect escape where solo travelers, nature enthusiasts, families, and artists can relax, explore, and unwind without feeling completely disconnected from the world. There are boardwalks, beaches, film and jazz festivals, art shows, and historical landmarks like the impressive Emlen Physick Estate, a Victorian house/museum that is known as the “original haunted house” of Cape May.

In fact, Cape May is a registered National Historic Landmark thanks to its over 600 Victorian-style houses and picturesque cottages. Cape May is an easy day trip from Philadelphia, so if you love history, you can explore the beach and the city all in the same trip.

If you’re staying in Cape May, check out the secluded Higbee Beach, a scenic spot at the end of New England Road. But be careful!  Tides can be dangerous, so always swim near a lifeguard and never when there isn't one.
