SOUTHERN SHORE REGION

galore. Boardwalks and amusements, world class golf courses, gourmet restaurants, several exceptional wineries and
breweries, a historic village, eco-tourism, and a top-rated zoo round out the region.

At New Jersey’s southern tip is the city of Cape May, a National Historic Landmark with more than 600 Victorian-era
buildings. Shop along cobblestone streets, take in the Victorian-era architecture, or dine in one of the many gourmet
restaurants or relax on the beach with a good book.
