The Rusty Nail

The Beach Shack is a fresh, fun alternative for beachfront vacations. A revived beachfront motel, the Beach Shack features 65 spacious efficiency style rooms, all with an Ocean view, and a clean, sophisticated beach resort vibe. Decorated in a casual, beach style, guestrooms are all about comfort. The Rusty Nail, or "The Nail", as it's known by locals, is The Beach Shack’s famed iconic surfer bar that made a name for itself in the 70s. Named by Travel + Leisure as one of the Top Beach Bars in 2011, the Rusty Nail attracts everyone from lifeguards and surfers to beautiful beach bunnies, who gather around the wood bar that is rumored to be the longest in Cape May. With live music, a fire pit, shuffleboard and sand bar, The Rusty Nail is an authentic and cool beachside hangout. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with produce sourced fresh from Beach Plum Farm, The Rusty Nail offers delicious farm-to-table cuisine. The Beach Shack is located at 205 Beach Avenue, Cape May, NJ 08204.
