About
Cape May contains the largest collection of intact Victorian architecture in the United States—over 600 gingerbread-adorned cottages, stick-style hotels, and Second Empire mansions covering a National Historic Landmark district at the very tip of the Jersey Cape. The New Jersey Motion Picture Commission promotes Cape May as a premier filming destination for its extraordinary density of period architecture in a coastal setting: the Atlantic Ocean provides a blue-water backdrop for Victorian streetscapes unavailable anywhere else in the country. The town's controlled historic district means the visual environment is actively maintained and protected from modern intrusion. Film productions find a genuine 19th-century resort atmosphere with beaches, Victorian commercial blocks, and residential neighborhoods all within walking distance.
