Harpoons on the Bay

A little slice of paradise on the bay... this place has a Caribbean flair, live music, plenty of free parking and spectacular sunsets!

WHERE IS IT? On the bay in North Cape May.

WHY SHOULD I GO? This bayfront classic has always offered great sunsets and a great vibe. This year Harpoons celebrates its 10th season, and it’s better than ever!

Harpoons now offers three full bars to get you in the mood — the Main Bar, Tiki Bar and Beach Bar, each with their own vibe. So, every time you visit, you can enjoy a different experience. Or... just bar-hop throughout your visit!

One reviewer called this hotspot “a Florida Keys place that must have washed north in a hurricane.” And no Key West locale would be complete without the kind of mellow entertainment (live music nightly during the season) that makes you want to breathe deep, kick off your shoes and order another round.

Owners Brady and Jeff recently modernized this classic beach shack, adding a fabulous new indoor-outdoor bar, while maintaining its laidback vibe. In the expanded kitchen, the culinary team continues to mix it up with new Cuban and Southern-inspired dishes.

Kids AND adults (PLUS the pups) love it here. Happy hour is Monday through Thursday (except holidays) from 3 to 6.
