Everyone loves a bargain.
Currently, until the end of March, Cape May beach tags are a relative bargain at $20 each. If you wait till summer it'll cost you about that for 1 week.
Prices go up at the end of March so be sure to stop by Cape May's City Hall and purchase beach tags for your family or friends.
See you on the beach!
Today we're introducing the first of our new series of Longfellow Designed products that celebrate the spirit of Cape May. We start things off with our new custom designed Cape May Island Hat. Made by Legacy, a long time creator of the best fitting, highest quality hats around, these hats have a comfortable fit and quality feel that is unlike any other hat out there. We know you'll appreciate the high quality attention to detail too.
Our custom hat design celebrates the little promoted fact that Cape May is an island. It seems strange that there's not more hubaloo made of this fact. How many tee shirts or hats show the Cape May island shape? We couldn't find any so we designed our own.
We love the fact Cape May is an island. It's such a unique and fun place to explore and create memories with family and friends. That it's an island, simply adds to the mystique of why people love it so much. So we wanted to put that fact front and center with style.
We executed on the island concept by cutting a custom green felt outline of the Cape May island shape, and then detailing that shape with an ivory embroidered stitching around the coast. These are Longfellow House branded hats but we kept the house branding very subtle with a clean and elegant white star right where we're located on Hughes Street. And on the hat back text simply reads The Longfellow House Cape May. Check out the pictures above to see more detail.
Or, you can order from the online store part of this website. This hat design is a Limited Edition so grab 'em while you can. Oh, and post a shot of you or your family wearing one to our Facebook page — we'd love to see it and hear about how much you love your new Cape May hat. Thanks, we hope you enjoy them!

Last week I took a horse carriage tour with my Mom and sister. In all my Cape May years that was my first equestrian enabled coverage of town, and it was a lot of fun.
Pulling out of the gate, for a minute or two at least, the street people point their mental fingers at you and snicker tourists under their mental breath. Or at least it felt that way in my mental head. What’s wrong with them, I live here? Maybe that’s just the part of me that at times thinks the same thing when I see others riding the carriage. Tourists.
