At the southeastern tip of New Jersey lies Cape May, a very attractive attraction. People like to collect the Cape May “diamonds”, which are really just pieces of quartz. After collecting enough of them, people turn them into jewelry, such as necklaces or bracelets. 

Sometimes people come to see wildlife. They will visit Cape May’s Whale Watch and Research Center, then take the boat tour. On the tour you can check the water for whales and/or dolphins. 

Some people take the tour for other reasons. In the fall, tons of bird-watchers hit the boats and try to spot the most types of birds to win the contest. They’re 700, so it could take a while to spot them all! 

If you plan on visiting this place for a vacation, or maybe just a day trip, try staying at the Abbey, a seaside inn at Cape May. 

To look Cape May up some more, you can read the book From Sea to Shining Sea: New Jersey. It will have info about New Jersey in general, not just Cape May.
