However you view it, there is no doubt it is one of the Garden State’s somewhat underappreciated influences on the world of architecture.

The Wildwoods You wouldn’t know it to look at it today, but New Jersey’s Wildwoods were once, indeed, a tangle of wild woods. They sit on a six mile long barrier island near the southern tip of the state at Exit 4 on the Garden State Parkway. When one says “The Wildwoods,” they refer collectively to three separate municipalities: North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. They were founded by developers between 1880 and 1905, notably including Frederick Swope and his Five Mile Beach Improvement Company, Philip Pontius Baker and his Wildwood Beach Improvement Company, and John Burk with the Holly Beach Improvement Company.

  • Diamonds in the Sand
    I was hooked. A real treasure hunt. Following his directions, I made my way to the gift shops at Sunset Beach to learn more about the Cape May diamonds. There, I found faceted and mounted gems and books, including The Legend of the Cape May Diamond, by award- winning writer Trinka Hakes Noble. Just like real diamonds To the naked eye viewing a polished and faceted Cape May diamond, there is no distinguishable difference between it and a real diamond. Until modern gem scanning equipment was developed, they were passed along by unscrupulous vendors as genuine diamonds. As closely as I examined the stones, I could not tell the difference either. They sparkle as brilliantly as any engagement ring, but sadly, unlike true diamonds, have no substantial value. According to legend and local history, Cape May diamonds are pure quartz crystal, and look like clear pebbles along the beach. When wet, they are translucent in hues of white, beige and rose, polished smooth by the ocean waves and sand. Often mistaken for river-smoothed glass from New Jersey’s once-thriving glass manufacturing industry, BY LINDA BARRETT geologists claim the crystals are local in origin, washing out of nearby Pleistocene gravel deposits. They register an eight on the hardness scale. Claims are their source is over 200 miles away, in the upper reaches of the Delaware River. “The Cape May diamonds are the daughters of the river, linking the state’s past and present. These Diamonds in the Sand fragments of quartz rock have hidden in the river, plucked away from the Cape May Diamonds Dazzle Visitors mountains lining its banks,” says author Noble.

  • Cape May County Tourism Conference
    2013 Cape May County Tourism Conference Developing a Game Plan – Lessons Learned from Sandy Presented by Cape May County Board of Chosen Freeholders Gerald M. Thornton, Director Leonard C. Desiderio, Vice Director Kristine Gabor Will Morey Cape May County Department of Tourism E. Marie Hayes Diane F. Wieland, Director [email protected] April 25, 2013 0 Developing a game plan – Lessons learned from Sandy 2012 represents 18 straight years of tourism growth for Cape May County Jersey Strong - For many who were left to clean up the mess left by Superstorm Sandy, the event will become a benchmark for telling time – What happened before Sandy and what happened after Sandy. Reports of changes in the landscape of the Jersey Shore were predicted and as we all move forward we will see some subtle – and many major – differences along the New Jersey coastline. Change for whatever reason is usually good and often unplanned. In the end, the four counties that make up the 127 miles of New Jersey coast and generate $19 Billion in expenditures will be a better place to live and visit. The more noticeable and tangible landscape changes will be north of Atlantic County but new regulations; mandated changes in building codes and revised FEMA flood maps will make a difference in the southern coastal towns as well. The looming changes will have its greatest impact on the real estate market that was beginning to show some positive movement after the recession. Cape May County dodged the bullet, this time. The next storm of the century could be just around the corner.
