The Beach Shack & Rusty Nail

Cape May's Iconic Surfer Bar & Restaurant. It's right here at the Beach Shack, just steps away from your room.
(3444)

The Nail, as its known by the locals, is the famed iconic surfer bar and restaurant that made a name for itself in the 70s. Back in the day lifeguards, surfers and beautiful beach bunnies gathered around the wood bar that was rumored to be the longest in all of Cape May. Now its your turn to join in the fun for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now that the Beach Shack is open from May-December, so is The Nail, with the same great live entertainment and classic seaside menu.
