Cape May, is a city at the southern tip of Cape May Peninsula in Cape May County, New Jersey, where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean.

What is now Cape May was originally formed as the borough of Cape Island by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1848, from portions of Lower Township. It was reincorporated as Cape Island city on March 10, 1851, and finally became Cape May city as of March 9, 1869.

It is part of the Ocean City Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town is named for 1620 Dutch captain named Cornelius Jacobsen Mey who explored and charted the area between 1611-1614, and established a claim for the province of New Netherland. It was later settled by New Englanders from the New Haven Colony.

Cape May began hosting vacationers from Philadelphia in the mid 1700s and is recognized by the United States government as the country's oldest seaside resort. Cape May became increasingly popular in the 18th century and was considered one of the finest resorts in America by the 19th century.

Cape May is generally low-lying and its highest point is at 14 feet above sea level, at Washington and Jackson Streets.

Cape May borders West Cape May Borough, Lower Township, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Delaware Bay. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry provides transportation across the Delaware Bay to Lewes, Delaware.

Cape May Harbor, which borders Lower Township and nearby Wildwood Crest allows fishing vessels to enter from the Atlantic Ocean.

Tourism is the dominant industry, while commercial and sport fishing are also important to Cape May's economy. Marine mammal watching, bird watching, and other forms of Eco-tourism have become equally important in Cape May. Cape May has become known both for its Victorian gingerbread homes and its cultural offerings.

Cape May Diamonds are quartz crystals, resembling translucent pebbles, found on the beaches of Cape May Point, New Jersey. They are usually discovered by carefully sorting through washed-up beach detritus. Historically, the southeast portion of New Jersey contained many glass manufacturers, and Cape May Diamonds are often attributed incorrectly to glass remnants, discarded by these sources, which were then washed down the Delaware River until they were tumbled in a smooth condition on local beaches. Cape May Diamonds are actually pieces of quartz crystal, originating in the upper Delaware River, where they began their journey to the sea on rapid river currents, tumbling and smoothing as they went.

Wildwood Crest is a borough in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. It is part of the Ocean City Metropolitan Statistical Area. The area of the borough was first developed by Philip B. Baker in the 1900s as a southern addition to the resort of Wildwood, with the first houses going up in 1906. Wildwood Crest was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1910, from portions of Lower Township.
