For generations, the Cape May surfing community has embraced the Beach Shack—and it’s famed on-site restaurant the Rusty Nail—as a go-to hangout after a day of riding the waves. It’s a natural match: ice-cold beer (the coldest in Cape May, as verified by Exit Zero magazine), classic live music, and a summer-inspired menu that can’t be beat. All this, just steps from the sand of Cove Beach.
And now, for the first time ever, we’re excited to offer our guests guided surfing lessons during their overnight stay. Join Cape May’s vibrant surfing culture for a weekend at the Beach Shack, where you’ll be treated to a customized surfing lesson in the waters of Cove Beach.
