Pappas ape May is, as a matter of geography, Mad Batter, photo by Jumping Rocks Photography at the tip of the Jersey Shore (but in C all other ways, leaves Snooki and The Situation far behind). Cape May’s beaches so routinely make top ten lists of prettiest, cleanest, and nicest that a lovely day at the beach is axiomatic for day, weekend, and vacationing visitors. Feeling the sun on the shoulders, wriggling the toes in the sand, and watching the waves roll in are all im- portant activities, but there is more to Cape May than a “day at the beach.” As the only city in the US to receive the distinction of being repeatedly named by Better Homes & Gardens and Architecture Magazine as “one of the prettiest painted places,” there are several house-related ac- tivities. In addition to the obvious walks, there are a number of trolley tours that de- part from the centrally located information booth of the pedestrian-friendly Washing- ton Street Mall. Historic District Trolley Tours leave several times daily.
