Known as the “Queen of the Seaside Resorts” for its quaint Victorian cottages and pristine beaches, Cape May is the oldest seaside resort in the country, and in 1976, the entire city was declared a National Historic Landmark. This classic trolley tour — perfect for both newcomers to Cape May and seasoned visitors or locals who want to learn more about Cape May — will run every day until Jan. 1, and then from Fridays to Sundays in the new year. Purchase tickets here.
