After victorian architecture walking tour, head to Washington Street Mall for dinner. $65–$110/person — that range covers a full sit-down meal without feeling extravagant. Every evening in summer, Sunset Beach hosts a flag-lowering ceremony at sunset — a tradition of honoring veterans while the sun drops into the Delaware Bay.
End the night in West Cape May. Every evening in summer, Sunset Beach hosts a flag-lowering ceremony at sunset — a tradition of honoring veterans while the sun drops into the Delaware Bay.
