North-Cape-May
is a community located within Lower Township, in Cape May County on the southern tip of New Jersey. It's unincorporated, but a census-designated place, and as of the 2010 census, the population was 3,226. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry departs from North Cape May. North Cape May was originally an independent borough, formed by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature in 1928 from portions of Lower Township. By 1940, it had a population of only 8 residents, and in 1945 it was returned to Lower Township. Today, North Cape May is mostly a residential retirement community. Lower Township, of which North Cape May is a part of, has been ranked as the "34th best place to live in New Jersey" by New Jersey Monthly Magazine in 2008. Attractions nearby include the Victorian town of Cape May. Called the nation's "Oldest Seashore Resort," Cape May has over 600 authentically restored and preserved Victorian structures. The entire town of Cape May is a National Historic Landmark City, only one of five in the nation. This designation requires that the community retain all structures in their original form and design and will insure that Cape May will remain within the architectural guidelines of the Victorian era. It has also achieved national recognition as one of the "Best Bed & Breakfast Inn Resorts" in the country. Tours of the historic district and many of the Victorian Inns are scheduled daily through the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. Attractions in the area include the Cape May Lighthouse, the annual Tulip Festival each spring, Victorian Week in the fall and Christmas in Cape May, which begins after Thanksgiving each year.

North Cape May Weather & Climate
|
|
|
The southeastern tip of New Jersey , near Cape May, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
