A Shore Thing: Sea Crest Beach Hotel’s Shore Dinner Series Brings New England Clambakes to Old Silver Beach

Sea Crest Beach Hotel, a cherished destination on the Cape for over 50 years, brings guests and local residents alike a summerShore Dinner Series that is bound to become a family tradition for generations to come. The quintessential beach hotel will kick off the first of four summer dinners on July 2, showcasing the Cape’s local bounty on its private Old Silver Beach, and complimentary shuttle service to local and Vineyard residents between Woods Hole and Sea Crest Beach Hotel will be provided.

Following a day of fun in the sun on Buzzard’s Bay, guests will have built up an appetite larger than their sandcastles. 6 p.m. marks the start of the first Shore Dinner, where guests can dine with their feet in the sand and dig in to traditional Cape favorites prepared by Sea Crest Beach Hotel Executive Chef Daniel Kenney.

Priced at $52 per person, the Shore Dinner includes a 1 ½ pound Maine lobster; ½ pound of local steamer clams; ½ pound of East Coast mussels; Chorizo sausage; and native sweet corn on the cob with poached baby potatoes served with drawn butter, lemon and hot sauce. For $36 per person and $26 for children ages 12 and under, a menu without lobster and shellfish is available and includes fresh-baked corn bread, Cape clam chowder, Angus burgers and jumbo beef hot dogs with all the fixings, salads, BBQ-roasted free-range chicken, sliced summer watermelon, warm cookies, s’mores, iced tea, and lemonade. A full bar is available at an additional cost. Prices include tax and gratuity.

The remaining Shore Dinners will take place on July 14, Aug. 12, and Aug. 19. Reservations are required and include a full-day parking pass. Shuttle service must also be reserved in advance.
