I note there are 2 listings here for Sunset Beach - this one being for the shops located here... Sunset Beach is a must-visit every time I go to the Jersey Cape - have watched the ship off shore slowly be reclaimed by the elements. It has also been interesting to watch the little shops slowly expand and update from year to year - now featuring plenty (usually) of parking, a mini golf course, a small but nice restaurant, nearby concrete WWII tower converted to a museum, etc. I have noticed that the Cape May Diamonds® are thinning out a bit compared to the late 70s, but there are still plenty to find - which makes this a great location to take the kids & the great thing is you don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to. Also, there is a reason for the name - great location to watch sunsets out over the bay! Highly recommended! read more

Sunset Beach - Concrete Ship - Gift Shops Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Seems a bit redundant but you think sunset, you think beach, you think what's the big deal? Boy was I wrong, this spot is just PERFECT for a sunset & we lucked out on a gorgeous July evening to witness it! Yes, it gets crowded but the beach is big & there's a fantastic energy & everyone is respectful. An absolute must do when in CM & side note, the gift shop right there is MASSIVE & I happily picked up some really pretty souvenirs! read more

I have absolutely reviewed Sunset Beach before. In fact, I was the first person to review it many years ago, but then they changed that check in to Sunset Beach Gifts after several years at random, so I wrote another review of Sunset Beach, but that one appears to have disappeared too, so ?!? Regardless, Sunset Beach is my favorite beach in New Jersey and also maybe even the world. Dramatic, yes, but it brings me such peace every time I visit. I really just love it there so much. That's it. That's the review since Yelp keeps stealing my reviews of this wonderful place. read more

CAPE MAY POINT: one of the most beautiful and interesting spots we visited was Sunset Beach! Leashed dogs are allowed to join you between September 15th-April 15th on the white, sandy beach with beautiful views of the Delaware bay and Atlantic ocean. The interesting part of this area is the sunken ship known as the SS Atlantus. She was a concrete ship that was docked and came loose from the moorings during a storm and settled right along the shore of Sunset Beach. Due to being made of concrete, it was impossible to move and became a tourist landmark in 1926. It has disintegrated over time, but still amazing to see. This area is really so pretty and it was our favorite beach and attraction of the trip. Not only is this area known for its beautiful beach and sunken ship, this spot is also famous for its spectacular sunset views. There are also three shops at Sunset Beach and the Grille's lower deck are pet friendly year-round. The World War 2 lookout is also located here. read more

If you want to have a nice view of sunset, you have to go here. I arrived here around 7:40 in the middle of August for 7:50 sunset. Parking lot was full, a lot of car parked on both sides of the street. I recommend coming here early for the best view on the beach read more

I was told this is the spot to see the best sunset in all of NJ. Haven't experienced the entire state yet but this view was pretty magnificent! Waves slowly rolled in. Watching the orangey sky drift into blues and grays over a jagged shipwreck was truly something special. Not too crowded on this evening. Just a handful of folk taking a moment to slow down and be grateful for nature's beauty. read more

Fish House is located right at the tip of New Jersey on Sunset Beach, Cape May, NJ. This is their grand opening, and the sunsets here are amazing! It seems this is no secret because the beach gets very crowded at sunset. The restaurant is a gem. It's small, seats about 80 people, and is open-air with a fully stocked bar. There are stools all along the rims of the L-shaped establishment. You can see the sunset from every angle while enjoying dinner or a cocktail. I ordered a Strawberry tea for $14 containing Deep Eddie Sweet Tea Vodka, Strawberries, Lemon juice, Black pepper, Ginger Beer, and Agave nectar. It was very refreshing. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu; maybe next time, the menu was not extensive, which I like because the chefs can perfect what they have. Po There were three of us, so we decided to share our dishes. We ordered the Crispy Potatoes with Garlic Aioli and Paprika for $13, Watermelon salad with Feta Cheese, and Cherry tomatoes with a Lemon Vinaigrette for $14. We ordered Fried Shrimp with their very own Sunset Sauce for $26. The Sunset burgers we were told were flying out the door, so we decided to shared one, and it's a winner with Cooper Sharp Cheese, Tomato, Lettuce, and Onions on a roll with their Sunset Sauce. It was all very delicious; if I had to pick my favorite dish, it would be the Fried Shrimp. I do not know what they did, but they were flavorful. So, if you happen to be in Cape May, you should try this small gem; it's well worth it. I recommend the Fish House; the atmosphere is relaxing and exciting. Excellent service, wheelchair access, kids are welcome, and they also have a kids menu. Bathrooms are across the parking lot inside the gift shop, but none are inside the dining area. They also have a small breakfast menu. Hours are 9 am - 9pm everyday, plenty of parking. read more

Sunset Beach is a place you can make a whole day out of. Comb the beach for Cape May Diamonds. Shop in the two shops for treats and souvenirs and clothing. Have a bite to eat at The Grille. Play a round or two of miniature golf. Also visit the War Tower just a short walk from the parking lot. DEFINITELY take in a flag lowering ceremony one evening. (check the website for the days and times, it isn't nightly anymore) The gift shop is full of neat treasures including all types of jewelry, some made from the Cape May Diamonds. All the employees are very friendly. Oh, and how could I forget...SUNSET!!! You can go to Sunset Beach any time of year to view a gorgeous sunset!!! You'll also see the historic SS Atlantus off shore. Sunset Beach has everything you could want for a day at the beach including history! read more

Big selection of merchandise. Staff are friendly. Prices are reasonable and the view of the ocean is amazing!

Five stars for the nice, clean bathrooms right on the beach as well as free parking. If you are willing to walk there is plenty of space away from the hordes of people who gather right at the edge of the parking lot area. read more

Always a great visit with new trinkets every year. I like getting a bottle of root beer and hanging out on the benches to watch the scenery. Love the anthem and the sunsets. Will that concrete ship ever sink? Love this place. read more

One of my favorite spots on the peninsula, Sunset Beach is a great spot to spend the day. If you need to cool off, this gift shop is so much fun to peruse. They've got lots of beach-themed items, Cape May branded clothing and souvenirs, and best of all, a bathroom! Parking can be a bit iffy since you are competing with beach goers, so plan to come early or late in the day read more

The beach and sunset is great, the gift shop however... I was charged over $8,000, yes that's thousands. Obviously a mistake, here's the issue. I spoke to the person in charge, sent asked for items, and nothing. Several emails sent requesting updates, with no response. Called again, this is Several weeks now, the man who answered the phone would not even take a message. He said no, he does not take messages. I have been more than reasonable until now. It's $8k, I'd have to purchase the whole store to spend that much! I'm fairly sure the credit card company will make it right. The unresponsiveness, is unacceptable. read more

Has some wonderful gift and souvenir options right off the beach. Some of the stuff is pretty chintzy but other offerings are useful and very nice. There are lots of options for jewelry, housewares and beach wear. Staff is friendly and helpful. Granted, we came late in the season in late September. But....many, many kudos to the staff for maintaining a very nice bathroom that's free and open to the public. I feel they should keep a tip jar for the upkeep alone. read more

Totally kicking myself for not buying a Cape May Diamond pendent necklace. This place has an extensive jewelry selection and plenty of Cape May diamond pieces to choose from. Tons of glass and wall art, ornaments and holiday decorations, health and beauty supplies, snacks, drinks, food and candy. Great selection!! read more

Situated right near the super cool ship wreck on sunset beach is this beautiful store. Reasonable prices and extremely awesome selection too. The help is very courteous and polite. The gentleman behind the counter was a laugh a minute- cracking one liners right and left. They have so many things to look at from giftware, jewelry, ornaments, sun catchers, coffee mugs, jewelry, sea shells, sand dollars too and many other items. We mustn't forget the Cape May Diamonds! read more

This place is cute, and has items that are a little more upscale than your standard mugs and t-shirts (although they definitely have those too). They carry a lot of food items from local places (Cape May Peanut Butter, etc). It's nicely laid out with wide aisles. I bought a couple of small souvenirs and was pleased. The staff was very friendly too. read more

Great souvenir shop! We always make sure to stop in and get a few things before heading home from our vacation. We look forward to finding unique items to purchase from this shop! The owner is also super nice! His son is a Marine, as is my husband so they always end up chatting for a few minutes about the Marines. He even gave my boys a free gift a few times! We'll be back again soon! read more

Pricey but what else would you expect from a gift shop right on the beach . Paid 3.99 for a 99cent jar for the kids to collectors cape may diamonds in and another 5$ for a seashell collecting bag . The kids were happy and the staff was very friendly and helpful . Didn't mind paying the extra for the convince of getting last minute items to make the kids day read more

This is a really cute gift shop. The location is a little out of the way, but they literally carry everything here. My favorite aisle is the one as soon as you walk in; it's their food products aisle. They have honey, rubs, jams, sauces, and more. I wanted to buy that whole aisle. They also have cute jewelry, candles, stuffed animals and little knickknacks for the kids, magnets, bottles of wine from the Cape May Winery, books on Cape May, shells, and really cute home decor. I love the candles and the home decor; I would definitely go back to pick some up. The prices are also reasonable. It can get a bit crowded at times, but it's definitely worth checking this place out! read more

The Jesus music playing overhead plus all the military and Christian memorabilia for sale immediately made me turn around. Basically a bunch of your run of the mill beach junk dressed up as a store that sells beach stones made into jewelry. Pass. read more

I received my order today. It came so quickly! Thank you! It was well packaged and I even received a free gift. Everything was perfect and I couldn't be happier. I hope to get to the store by the end of the year. I love the store. It has so much to offer, a variety of merchandise, something for everyone. With what's going on in our world it's hard to say when. We love Cape May and we're looking forward to going. Thanks again for filling and shipping my order so quickly! read more

Stopped in around 4pm on a Friday, walked around looking through the shops before sunset. Employee were all very friendly, especially the people in the mineral shop. There are actually two shops - one on each side of the parking lot, so be sure to visit both. We were pleasantly surprised how affordable everything was. Prices were very fair, especially compared to other shops. Found lots of cute gifts and souvenirs. Also they had a nice clean bathroom, which was very convienent since we were hanging around on the beach for awhile also. Definitly worth a stop! Side note for Pokémon players - there are multiple poke stops right in the parking lot, and a lot of interesting spawns here. Worth checking out. read more

I always get a fun piece of jewerly in the back whenever i come here - especially off season when everything's on sale. Nice staff and a public bathroom - it's a no brainer! read more

Adding a review for this gift shop because I don't feel like enough Cape May visitors realize what's going on at Sunset Beach. This is a cute little gift shop and it turns out by the end of my trip, I had bought most of our souvenirs from here. If you happen to be staying anywhere on Sunset, know a quick run to this little shop can go a lot quicker than heading into town to pick up small items or snacks. read more

I love this store and have been coming to it for years! Best place to buy any souvenirs or any type of gift you may need. Excellent buyers lead to an array of we'll displayed and fairly priced items. All of my Cape May paraphernalia comes from this store.... Family run business with friendly staff and relaxed environment... Lots of yummy candies and sweets too. read more

These gift shops are a find, truly. The main shop sells really nice souvenirs and gifts, not junk like you'll find at boardwalk shops. The two young ladies working at the jewelry checkout yesterday were very personable and advised us to try the rock shop across the way for super soft shirts and geodes and such. We did, and snagged two extremely comfy shirts for half of what you'll pay at most places. With some guidance from a very knowledgeable employee, we got ourselves a great rock that split into a great geode. I've always said Cape May's beaches are the best in Jersey, and now I know the gift shops are equally pleasing. read more

This place is amazing! It is a great place to buy shirts(only $10-$20 per shirt) and gifts! There are 2 stores, and they have gifts, knick-knacks, jewelry, hats, dresses, shirts and an assortment of shells and rocks. The sunsets there are amazing also. There is so much history there to discover and you can look for some famous 'cape may diamonds'. You can also go fishing or eat at the grill restaurant. Also mini-golf there is so much fun! Great place to go! read more

The gift shop is literally a few steps from Sunset Beach (and is the only business by the area). If you're going to the beach to check out the amazing sunset or to search for Cape May diamonds then you really have no excuse to step inside and see what they have to offer. In addition to the gift shop there's a mini golf course and a grill on the other side of the parking lot. Sure the place has tons of cheap Asian imported souvenirs and nick nacks but they also have some great Cape May Diamond gifts and some useful items for sale. I went to a lot of the gift shops in Cape May and although none blew me away this was the best I found. read more

I recently was down cape mays sunset beach. This place is poorly stocked. I wanted to purchase a Mexican blanket. I went back weeks later to check if they restocked still no blankets! read more

They are cheap, have a variety of gits, and are right next to the beach. I always like visiting this place whenever I come to Sunset Beach. Right next to a golf course. You can see a beautiful sunset every night around here. read more

Folks, this is a very nice gift shop run by a very nice family. I've been there every time we're in southern Jersey, and it's been a few dozen times. Marvin Hume, owner is 89 years young. During the warmer season, he is devoted to a sundown ceremony with a different Casket Flag each evening. People come from all over the country to honor their deceased relative killed in one of our wars. Marvin and his family are truly sincere about what they do, and I applaud them. Marvin himself is a Verteran.

Awesome little gift shop with great prices and a great selection for everyone on your list. A must visit for anyone visiting Cape May.

Better than the boardwalk money suck gift shops. I loved going here after watching the sunset at sunset beach. They have something for everyone. read more

How do you screw up mini golf? Go to the Sunset Beach Gift shop and purchase a game for an absurd $7 per person. You can put around before your game while you wait for children who are out of control of the supervison of the attendant who isnt there. My friends and I went to purchase a game and we sonehow managed to spend 36$ on it, and right after giving the lady the money she only responded with i better not have to come talk to you boys out there implying that we were up to trouble. After this we were ticked off but went to play and ended up with green head flies attacking us. Their greens were worn and almosy every hole looked the same. There are fountains, and on windy days such as the day we went, the winds hit the chemical infused water that's shooting up and soaked me. After this i was mad so i went and asked the cashier for some kind of compensation such as a partial refund. The manager ( I'm pressuming ) who had talked to us earlier about acting up, instead of asking what was wrong, just went on to say how she had never hadn't had a complaint and i was just lying. I then said i would go write this yelp review and she only said karma is real and walked away. This place will never get my money again and i hope you dont give it money either. read more
