Come along for the ride Whether you’re planning a dream vacation or a day trip, a regional jaunt or round-the-world journey, our new online travel section has something for you. First, we’re expanding one of our most popular weekly features, Travels with the Gazette. It’s clear that people in Cape May County are hitting the road more than ever, and taking the Gazette along with them. Travels with the Gazette—a travelogue with photos starring you and your family, on vacation—will include more photos and personal commentary from our readers, as well as tips from their own trips about where to go and what to do. Day Tripper is a weekly travelogue with great places to go and things to do in and around Cape May County.

Compiled by the Gazette staff, Day Tripper will visit some old favorite destinations and a few undiscovered treasures—some right around the corner, others farther afield. It will serve as your personal tour guide, with advice about the best places to stop, shop and dine. It will offer travel articles and related links to make your vacation planning a little easier, and invite your comments and participation as well. Upcoming editions of Day Tripper will include:
Day Tripper will kick off next week
with a day trip to scenic Lewes, Del. Join us as we journey to this
tiny historic community at the tip of Cape Henlopen, where the ocean
meets the Delaware Bay. The first leg of our trip (aboard the Cape
May-Lewes ferry) is half the fun. Then we’ll explore the city of
Lewes, founded by Dutch explorers in 1631. It is home to the
Zwaanendael Museum (an extraordinary example of 17th century Dutch
architecture), and Cape Henlopen State Park, where windswept beaches
and rugged terrain harbor vast numbers of shorebirds and other
wildlife, including horseshoe crabs, which migrate here by the
thousands in the spring. |
