The tour lasts two hours. As you travel about town in a historic trolley, learn how the Cape May area was impacted by the war. You’ll pass coastal fortifications at Cape May Point and tour the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum.

The World War II Trolley Tour takes place on Saturday, November 13, 2010, at 12:30 pm. That gives guests of our bed and breakfast Cape May plenty of time to sleep in, eat a gourmet breakfast, walk along the beach, and grab lunch before the tour. Tickets are available at World War II Trolley Tour.

If you can’t make the World War II Trolley Tour this weekend, there are many other trolley rides throughout the year. Holiday Lights Trolley Rides through Cape May’s Historic District start November 19, 2010, and run through January 1, 2011. Please visit Holiday Lights for more information.

The film festival arrives at a perfect time, for the end of October is when glorious fall weather starts to think about winter. Days are a bit more blustery, and while it is a refreshing time to walk the beaches and stroll through town, the prospect of spending hours inside a cozy theater is appealing.

Vincent Pastore will attend the NJ State Film Festival in Cape May.

The Cape May Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing creative, groundbreaking and challenging film and video works by NJ filmmakers. Attendees can look forward to screenings of short films, full-length features, documentaries, and retrospectives. In addition, there will be opportunities to meet actors, producers, screenwriters, directors, and even composers of film scores.

Films include Bowling Blind, based on the lives of blind bowlers, Wake, the NJ premiere of a film about loss and honor, and Alienated, a film about mob encounters of a different kind starring Vincent Pastore. Guests include Vincent Pastore, best known for his work in The Sopranos, and Greg Henry, an independent filmmaker who has worked with Bill Moyers on NOW and produced work for the History Channel, PBS, and Discovery, among others.

The NJ Film Festival is always an exciting time for cinephile guests of our Cape May bed and breakfast, and for us; we experience the festival vicariously during breakfast and Afternoon Tea.

Additional information about the Cape May NJ State Film Festival is available at their website.

Hop up to the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse some time.

View Larger Map

The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse marks the mouth of Hereford Inlet, which leads from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intra-Coastal Waterway. The residential lighthouse was built on an uninhabited barrier island in 1874 in the Swiss Carpenter – or Stick – style. It is the only lighthouse built in this style on the East Coast, and only two others in this style remain standing on the west coast today. Around the lighthouse are beautiful gardens that were carefully designed to appear unplanned and a bit overgrown.

The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse is open seven days a week through mid October. The next time you are staying at our New Jersey bed and breakfast, perhaps you’ll take a few hours to visit this lovely spot.
