A majority of the visitors that come to Historic Cape May, NJ are usually only here during the busy Summer months. There's a lot of people that don't usually get to see how peaceful the area is in the off season. This video features some of the popular spots, beaches and lakes in Cape May Point that would normally be completely crowded in the Summer. Cape May has become one of the most popular Fall destinations for this reason. Founded in 1875, Cape May Point was originally called Stites Beach and then Seagrove. Visitors are drawn to this peaceful resort for many of the same reasons that attracted the founding fathers over a century ago. It was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 19, 1878, from portions of Lower Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier. It was reincorporated on August 19, 1891 and returned to Lower Township on April 8, 1896. Cape May Point re-emerged as an independent municipality on April 6, 1908, based on the results of a referendum held on April 21, 1908. The borough's name derives from Cape May, which was named for 1620 Dutch captain named Cornelius Jacobsen May who explored and charted the area between 1611-1614, and established a claim for the province of New Netherland. #CapeMay #capemaycounty #ambient #relaxing #relaxingmusic #medatation #NewJersey
