Ship ‘N Shore Bar is a casual neighborhood bar at 434 W Montgomery Ave in Wildwood, on the bay side of the island overlooking Otten’s Harbor. It’s a low-key change of pace from the Boardwalk: cold drinks, bar food and a look at the boats.
Harbor Views That Never Get Old
Ship ‘N Shore sits by Otten’s Harbor, the boat basin on Wildwood’s bay side, away from the Boardwalk crowds. Local guides describe it as a classic dive bar, a little off the beaten track for visitors.
Local Tip: Hours can change with the season, so call ahead at (609) 522-0377 before you head over.
Food and Drinks
Expect a classic bar menu: local guides mention homemade burgers, appetizers, pizza and wings, plus weekday food specials. Specials and prices change, so ask at the bar rather than relying on an old list.
Hours
Google lists Ship ‘N Shore as open daily from 10 a.m.: until 1 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday, 2 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and midnight on Sunday (as of October 2026). Off-season hours can differ, so confirm by phone before you go.
Getting There: Ship ‘N Shore is about 0.7 mile west of Coastal Sands Inn (4110 Atlantic Ave) by road, roughly a 15-minute walk or a few minutes by car.
Perfect Location for Coastal Collection Guests
Ship ‘N Shore is an easy add-on to a Wildwood stay with Coastal Collection. Spend the day on Wildwood’s free beaches and the Boardwalk, a few blocks from hotels like Paradise Inn and Beachside Resort, then head west to the harbor side for a different view of the island.
Visiting between mid-October and April? Coastal Sands Inn is the Coastal Collection hotel open through the off-season; Beachside Resort, Sunset Beach Hotel, Sunrise Inn and Paradise Inn reopen in April.
Local Tip: Ship ‘N Shore is a bar first, so plan on drinks and casual bar food rather than a sit-down seafood dinner.
