Of their rankings overall, they say,

America has some fantastic cities, sure— but the most beautiful towns in America offer something all their own. Whether they have over-the-top American charm or proximity to some of the loveliest landscapes on earth, these idylls are worth a stopover, at the very least.

And among those 26 towns is one of the brightest gems in the entire State of New Jersey — of course, we're talking about Cape May.

Why Cape May?

Specifically, about Cape May, Conde Nast said,

Of course, anyone who has spent any amount of time in Cape May almost immediately wants to return. The city features dozens of bed and breakfasts, a bandstand right in the middle of town that often features live music, colorful streets, charming restaurants, countless shops offering anything under the sun, amazing beaches, and a lighthouse that has been standing for 163 years.
