Welcome to America's original seaside resort with pristine beaches, promenade, and all the amenities that make a seaside town worth visiting along with rich history and architectural diversity. Cape May Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has one of the country's largest collections of 19th century framed buildings. This afternoon arrive at Willow Creek Winery for a delicious lunch with a glass of wine included. Following lunch enjoy time along Washington Street Mall, Cape May's picturesque town square lined with unique shopping, dining and so much more. Check into our charming and casual Victorian beach front hotel, before embarking on a ghostly trolley tour with a psychic medium, where we'll hear their findings as we make our way though the streets of Cape May. Then we'll visit the historic, and some say haunted, 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, where we'll learn about Victorian spiritualism and modern Ghost hunting techniques. Victorians of the late 19th century had wild notions about the passage from life to death and were fascinated by mystery and illusion. Tonight, enjoy a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. Hotel: Marquise de Lafayette, Camp May, NJ. (Lunch, Dinner)

Thursday, October 24: Cape May Whale Watcher for a Whale & Dolphin Cruise 

After breakfast relax and explore Cape May and enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds of the New Jersey shore from the comfort of your private balcony/patio or take a leisurely walk around the area. Surrounding the hotel are century-old mansions and homes that make Victorian Cape May a National Historic Landmark. The city is filled with shops, restaurants, museums, and galleries, all within easy walking distance from the hotel. Cape May is also know as one of the top-rated world-class beaches. This afternoon board the Cape May Whale Watcher for a whale & dolphin watching cruise. Experience Cape May in a whole new way!
