Property Description

The Beach Shack has emerged this season with a fresh, island retreat feel. Featuring renovated guest rooms and fun new Beach Shack experiences. Step out of your room for a cool beverage at the Rusty Nail. Now open through December, leave the outdoor fire pit for the indoor fireplace, with the same great live entertainment and classic beach menu. If a perfect family beach vacation means never having to put your shoes back on once you arrive and always being steps from the ocean, then the Beach Shack is the place for you. Beach Shack is Cape May, New Jersey's fresh and fun alternative for beach lovers who want somewhere the whole family can enjoy together. One that's stylish and dog-friendly with all the amenities you need*, but where you'll feel perfectly at home wearing flip-flops all day long. It's sweet simplicity itself, effortlessly capturing the true spirit of unforgettable summer-beach days Cape May is loved for. *We have a limited number of dog friendly rooms available each night and they can only be booked by calling 1-877-SHACK-07. Please review our Dog Policies. At the Beach Shack, you'll always be close to The Rusty Nail, Cape May's legendary “hang out” for lifeguards, surfers and other beach-goers, who flock to the long bar after hours for the shore's coldest beers and best vibe. Even your pooch can get a “cold one” after a hot day. You'll love the casual, fun outdoor ambiance, friendly welcoming staff and our fresh take on all your seaside favorites like clams, oysters and the great fresh fish. Once you're settled at one of the tables it's not hard to see why Travel & Leisure chose The Rusty Nail as one of "America's Top 10 Beach Bars."
