CAPE CHARLES WAVE

December 30, 2013

Business has been so good at the Shanty Restaurant at the Town Harbor that they plan to expand next year.

The restaurant, which leases land from the Town of Cape Charles, has applied for permission to enclose the front entrance, add a “market” to the right of the entrance, and enclose the rear deck. The application does not state what would be sold at the “market.”

The Shanty opened for the 2012 summer season as an old-fashioned “open-air” facility, but customers quickly convinced management to install air conditioning.

Despite its popularity, the Shanty continues to close for the winter season, in company with Hotel Cape Charles, Brown Dog Ice Cream, and the Town’s public toilets.

Entrance would be enclosed as shown in sketch . . .
