Margate City · Ventnor City · Longport
Coming Summer 2027
The old beach store, run online. Shirts and hats, chairs and umbrellas for the week you're down, where to eat tonight, and the phone number nobody can ever find when the air conditioning quits. All of Downbeach in one place, for shoobies and locals alike.
See where to eat — all 88 placesThe heart of it. Original designs you won't find on a rack of generic shore shirts, printed on good blanks and shipped anywhere, so you can wear the place in February too. One sign for each town.
A start of season kit you buy once and keep. The chairs, the umbrella, the odds and ends you'd otherwise spend your first Saturday hunting down one store at a time. Contents coming.
Menus, hours and reservation links for the places on Ventnor, Amherst and Atlantic Avenues. Hoagies and white tablecloths both.
Bike rentals, cleaners, contractors, cabana setups and the rest of the summer list, in one place instead of five searches.
The sign on the way in, put on a hat. Ventnor, Margate, Longport, in the order you drive them. Wear the one you claim.
Embroidered caps first, then tees, hoodies and crewnecks. Founding years are the real ones.

Restaurants get a listing with hours, menu and a live reservation link. Shops and services get a page, a map pin and a phone number people can tap. Retailers can sell through us. We're keeping the first season small and cheap on purpose, so the businesses that come in early own the best spots.
To ask about a spot, write to us and tell us what you run.
We open before Memorial Day weekend 2027. Send a note and you'll hear when the shop goes live, and when the first bundles and listings are up.
