Cape May has become one of the most exclusive cities in the New Jersey short region for romantic destinations. From everything from fine dining restaurants to unique bed and breakfasts, this city has something for practically every ‘taste’.

New Jersey residents have taken upon themselves to experience 11 lighthouses within 48 hours. However they didn’t expect to encounter the massive winds and storms that have hit the East Coast in the past couple of days.

The amusement area was switched to Clark’s Landing on the Manasquan River.

One example noted was Tim Freehan, who has personally seen his taxes rise from $1,700 in 1985 to $10,000 this year.
