Since the beginning, CapeMay.com has been a comprehensive guide to the ins and outs of Cape May. We launched in September 1998 as website dedicated to our little piece of paradise at the tip of southern New Jersey. We proudly produce it from our office on the Washington Street Mall (and remotely).

Our office is located at 513 Washington on the Washington Street Mall in historic downtown Cape May.
According to the city's 1890 map, a candy store occupied the site even then and was probably owned by Mr. Roth of Roth's Candyland. His son George ran the candy store until the 1980s when Bogle Brothers' Fudge Kitchen took over.
According to Wister Dougherty, whose family owned the building up until the 1960s when George Roth bought it, the building at 513 was constructed around 1903 or so. It served as the office for the Cape May Star and Wave for nearly twenty years, and later for the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May. We took over the space in 2004.
