According to the National Historic Landmarks program, "With over 600 summer homes, hotels and commercial structures, this venerable seashore resort has one of the largest collections of 19th century frame buildings remaining in the United States." The Cape May Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts operates the Emlen Physick Estate, a Victorian house museum. Visitors can take a walking or trolley tour of the Victorian homes or spend the night in one of the beautiful bed & breakfasts. Don't be surprised to see dolphins jumping out of the water where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. The Washington Street Mall offers shoppers an outdoor pedestrian shopping experience. Cape May is a year-round resort, becoming a charming Christmas village in the winter. Other attractions include: Congress Hall; Queen Victoria Hotel; The Mainstay Inn; The Southern Mansion; Angel of the Sea Hotel; Beesley House; The Villa and the Cottage; Chalfonte Hotel.
