A staple of Cape May culture and lore, Cape May Diamonds are quartz stones that wash up on Sunset Beach. These special stones have a history that predates the birth of the United States! In the 1750s, it is said that a large Cape May Diamond was presented to Christopher Leaming, a local whaler, by the last chief of the Kechemeche tribe King Nummy. The Kechemeche believed that the stones contained supernatural powers and used them to seal bonds of peace and friendship. Led by one of our experienced guides, you'll have the chance to find a few for yourself.
