Dancing The Shore Away: Harpoons on the Bay & John Wood Bring the Surf Rock

Harpoons on the Bay has gone by many names. Original artists cut their teeth here; this week, we’re learning about John Wood’s easy-going surfer rock jams.

Hey there, party people! I’m back with another great band at another happening place. This beloved locals’ favorite has gone by many names over the years. In 2016 the space gained its now-famous name, Harpoons on the Bay. This bayfront property that makes you feel much farther away from home than you are. It’s tucked away just around the corner from the Cape May Lewes Ferry. It has panoramic views of the bays and watershed of Cape May and the Delaware bay estuaries. The scenery is unmatched.

Say hi to Ashley if you see her at the Beehive Salon! 

As you would expect they have a full menu of mouth-watering seafood options. There is an endless supply of tuna and shrimp in all of its beautiful forms. For the non-seafood friendly eaters, they have something completely different. They have great shareables like their Harpoon’s grilled chicken wings or southern fried pickles. I decided to try the Thai Peanut Chicken Wrap. It was truly delicious!
