LandShark Bar & Grill is a truly special spot, nestled right on the sand with an amazing ocean view. It has a super relaxed and easy atmosphere, complete with fire pits and both indoor and outdoor dining. Plus, it’s the only beach bar that’s open all year round!

LandShark is the only full-service restaurant on the beach in Atlantic City! It’s inspired by Jimmy Buffett’s island lifestyle and offers a tropical oasis with oceanfront dining, icy cold drinks, and a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for everyone, from locals to tourists and groups. Whether you’re enjoying a signature LandShark Lager, fresh seafood and burgers, or dancing to live music with your toes in the sand, LandShark is the place to be for fun, flavor, and unforgettable views. It’s just steps from the Boardwalk and Resorts Casino Hotel, so it’s the ultimate beach bar experience—no passport needed!

They have a diverse and coastal-inspired menu with lots of different dishes, like coconut shrimp, fish tacos, and peel & eat shrimp. You can also find signature burgers like the Caribbean Burger and Sriracha Crunch Burger, appetizers that are perfect for sharing, such as nachos, wings, loaded fries, and tuna tartare, and a salad & sandwich selection that includes seafood lettuce wraps and Philly cheesesteaks. All the food is made fresh, and many dishes have house-made sauces and dressings.

The kitchen is set up to support beachside service, so you can get full food and beverage delivery to your lounge chairs and cabanas. Outdoor deck dining is comfortable year-round with heaters and retractable walls. Their full bar offers handcrafted cocktails, margaritas, and their signature LandShark Lager. Specialty drinks are designed to go great with the tropical menu.

Their kitchen is equipped for large group orders, with menus that can be tailored just for you, making it the ideal spot for private events! They offer catering for events with up to 650 guests, including the beach bar, and they’re happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or special needs. You can enjoy gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options, as their dishes are made fresh to order. For fried items, they use their own signature batters and sauces. And the seafood? Steamed or grilled with house-made seasonings and aiolis.

Last week, LandShark Bar & Grill was so kind as to host The GACCA and New Jersey Lifestyle Magazine for a spring networking mixer. Sheila Ronquillo, the sales manager at LandShark, and her team made us feel right at home with flower leis, tasty treats, and incredible hospitality. We were absolutely amazed by the delicious crab cakes, veggie spring rolls, mac and cheese wedges, pretzel bites, and The People’s Margarita! It was a fantastic night of connecting with other hospitality professionals and enjoying each other’s company in such a wonderful setting. If you haven’t had the chance to visit LandShark Bar & Grill yet, we really recommend it!
