As with every year, some businesses on the Mall do change, and this year is no different. Much of the recent changes have been centered in two areas of the Mall: in the City Centre Mall and on Liberty Way. This blog will explore some of the new businesses that have opened on the Mall, as well as other new things that are sure to improve your experience in the heart of Cape May.

The signs are located in high traffic portions of Washington Street, at entrances to the Mall area, and near parking meter kiosks. Signs are also located on the Cape May MAC Information Booth and on the windows and doors of select businesses. Hold your phone’s camera to the QR code and then click the link to be taken directly to our website where you can find a directory of all Mall businesses, visitor information, our brand new map, and more. The signs also invite you to tag us in your photos when enjoying the Mall so we can help others discover the picturesque heart of America’s original seaside resort!
Bicycle Racks
The City of Cape May's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee worked with City administration to install more bicycle racks around the Mall. These new bicycle racks are upside-down U-shaped racks, which professionals recommend as the best bike rack. This is because it provides two stable points of contact to lean a bike on, it is easy to lock and secure a bike on, and you can just install one or several in order to make the most of the space available. They look great as they match the Mall's brand colors and have been heavily used since their installation.
There is so much to explore on the Washington Street Mall! We are always working to stay current and exciting, while also remembering that we are the heart of America's original seaside resort. We invite you to explore our picturesque town square and see why we are one of the region's most popular destinations. We'll see you on the Mall!
