  1. Wheaton Village – A Glass Menagerie

    Text by Vicky Samselski Rector | Published February 1st, 2010 in Activities

    Most people who grew up in this area are familiar with Wheaton Village, way up in Cumberland County though it is. All good little schoolchildren on the Cape know that springtime means a field trip to the Victorian glass blowing theme-park to buy marbles at the general store, play on the jungle gym, and watch a man make a pitcher out of a glowing glob.

    We cling to our old-fashioned traditions here in Cape May, especially during the holiday season. Celebrate the season with the Christmas Tree lighting in Rotary Park, the 44th Annual West Cape May Christmas Parade, and the Washington Street Mall’s Hospitality Night.

  7. The Beauty of September

    Text by Susan Tischler | Published September 1st, 2009 in Activities • Happenings

    It’s lovely that Labor Day is late this year (Sept. 7), keeping all the wonderful things that make Cape May attractive for visitors still in full gear – like the lifeguards watching over all the beaches, instead of going down to a skeleton crew so early in September, or the restaurants and shops keeping their late hours a bit longer than usual. But the best result of a late Labor Day are the people, still here milling about, still searching for the perfect parking spot. As a result, the holiday weekend activities have never looked better.

    Crisp west winds awake the Cape. Yes, fall is finally here! It’s the beginning of the season, for the most sought after fish – Striped Bass!

  9. Time for Variety

    Text by Stephen Spagnuola | Published August 1st, 2009 in Fishing • Off the Hook

    August – the month when summer is at its peak. This is none the less true for fishing in Cape May. The month of August brings forth the largest variety of fish species caused by the large numbers of bait fish both inshore and off shore….and as they say “the big fish eats the little fish.” August is a great time for tournament fishing as well, boasting one of the largest and richest tournaments in the world – the Mid-Atlantic $500,000 (MA-500).

  10. Island Surfing

    Text by Bill Godfrey | Published August 1st, 2009 in Beaches • Outdoors/Water

    Trying to describe the impact of surfing on Cape May is like trying to describe the impact of baseball on America – it’s an incredibly broad topic. Many locals have built their lives around surfing, embracing careers that allow them the luxury of ditching work whenever the surf is pumping. For some, surfing defines their lives, chooses their friends for them and shapes the way they see the world. For others it’s a later-in-life hobby that’s now a passion. Anyway you look at it, surfing, even in Cape May, is nothing short of a religion for its most ardent followers.
