Right on the Cape Charles waterfront at the foot of Mason Avenue, The Shanty is the social heart of one of Virginia’s most charming and most rapidly discovered small coastal towns: a relaxed, unpretentious waterfront bar with cold drinks, fresh oysters, and the extraordinary views of Cape Charles Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay that make this sleepy Eastern Shore town a growing destination. Cold cocktails on the deck while the Bay lights up at sunset is one of Virginia’s genuinely great simple pleasures.
