CAPE MAY — This city is having a great tourist season according to revenue figures for beach tag sales and money collected from parking meters.
At a Aug. 12 City Council meeting, Cape May Interim City Manager Bruce MacLeod said beach tags sales so far for the year as of July 31 were $1,160,000, up from $1,124,00 last year.
Parking meter revenue through July 31 was $441,365, up from $415,000 last year. Parking meter fees were increased by 25 cent per hour this year.
Another indicator of a healthy tourist season may be the heavy traffic back up in front of the Lobster House on Schellenger’s Landing at the entrance to Cape May, an annual occurrence.
