The Bayberry Inn
What do you associate with the perfect summers in your memories? Permit us to suggest a few words that might help bring those memories to life once again: Sunshine, Bayberry, Ivy, Coral, Rose…these are the names of suites and rooms at The Bayberry Inn, the historic and delightful bed and breakfast inn named the “…best B&B for walking to shops and restaurants…” in Cape May by Arrington’s B&B Journal.
One of the oldest homes in Cape May, the original structure dates to circa 1800, and it is believed to have been the home of a whaling captain. The front portion of the house, dating to 1856, was constructed by Joseph Q. Williams in the “carpenter Gothic style.” Mr. Williams served three terms as the Mayor of Cape May during the Civil War period.
In 1999 the home was purchased by Andy and Toby Fontaine, your hosts and innkeepers, who are uniquely qualified to bring you the very best in bed and breakfast hospitality. Native to the area, they transformed this historic structure into a warm, inviting bed and breakfast inn that welcomes guests with lovely private rooms that are ideally named for their comfort and amenities. Guests begin each day with a full 3-course breakfast in an atmosphere filled with lovely period antiques, a variety of blooming orchids, and happy conversation. Linger over another cup of coffee if you like, anticipating what the day will bring; then prepare to discover all that Victorian Cape May has to offer. Andy and Toby are available and happy to help with dinner reservations or whatever is needed.
The Bayberry Inn provides free onsite parking for all their guests. They are centrally located just two blocks from the beach, and one block from the Washington Street Mall. Open all year round, The Bayberry Inn is the perfect getaway destination for you. It’s time you made some delightful new memories…at The Bayberry Inn. (click here)

Szechwan Garden
For twenty-seven years – since 1981 when this very special family-owned and operated restaurant opened in Ocean City, New Jersey – Szechwan Garden has been helping to make people smile during lunch and dinner. The reason is quite simple – delicious food at reasonable prices.
Through the years Ocean City residents, vacationers and visitors have been enjoying lunch and dinner at Szechwan Garden seven days a week. Their menu is filled with so many delicious choices that newcomers may have a little difficulty making their choice, and so we’d like to make a recommendation: you’ll simply have to go back to Szechwan Garden again and again until you’ve sampled all their delicious dishes.
Szechwan Garden’s food is so good that they expand to their second location during the summer season to the Ocean City boardwalk Eighth Street Boardwalk Promenade Food Court. (Open weekends during May, and July 4th through Labor Day seven days a week.) So, if you’re strolling the boards, or downtown in Ocean City, Szechwan Garden is near you.
For those who simply can’t make up their minds there is one item on the menu in particular that should be sampled: General Tso’s Chicken. Patrons rave about it. In fact, one customer who travels extensively all over the nation says that Szechwan Garden’s preparation of General Tso’s Chicken is the best he’s sampled anywhere! There’s no monosodium glutamate (MSG) in the food at Szechwan Garden, and reservations aren’t necessary. Join the Szechwan Garden family and have a little celebration in your life for lunch, dinner, or both. Szechwan Garden – making folks smile for nearly three decades!
