Cape May County Recognized Nationally for Natural and Vintage Appeal

 Cape May County has been named the Most Beautiful County in New Jersey by LoveExploring. From the vibrant Victorian streets of Cape May City to the sun-drenched boardwalks of Ocean City and Wildwood, the area is a classic summer destination for families, beach lovers, and adventure seekers. The county offers something for everyone, with picturesque shore towns like Avalon, Sea Isle City, and Stone Harbor featuring upscale shopping, pristine beaches, and acclaimed restaurants.

Cape May Court House Welcomes New Indoor Play Village for Kids

Popular South Jersey Taco Spot Announces Second Location in Wildwood

 Taqueria El Azteca, a popular Mexican restaurant in Wildwood, is set to open a second location in 2025 at the former site of The Wild Burrito on Ocean Avenue. The new location will occupy the former site of The Wild Burrito at the corner of Ocean Avenue and East Youngs Avenue. After 13 years in business, The Wild Burrito closed its doors in September 2024, leaving a void in the local dining scene. Known for offering an alternative to typical boardwalk fare, it was a go-to stop for many seeking quick and satisfying bites near the beach.
