Unfortunately for Chris, Wildwood immediately presents a problem. Because from the top of the beach stairs comes a view that short-circuits the brain. To the left: Arcades blinking. Pizza smells … Read more

Some landmarks politely suggest you stop by. Wildwood landmarks practically grab your beach chair and yell: “C’mon! You gotta see this!” Because Wildwood has never really believed in subtle.

Cape May does not casually do romance. Cape May commits. Because some beach towns feel fun. Some feel energetic. Some feel adventurous. Cape May feels like somebody draped string lights across an entire town and whispered: “Go fall in love with something.” Let’s begin with sunset. Because Cape May sunsets don’t merely happen.

Meet Taylor. Taylor has a reputation along Cape May’s shorelines for vigilance, observation, and a nearly supernatural awareness of everything happening around them. Known locally as “The Eyes-Are-Always-On-You Watcher,” Taylor patrols the beach like a human periscope, scanning sunbathers, sandcastle builders, and kite flyers with hawk-like precision. Taylor’s beach gear is minimal but effective: a … Read more
