Atlantic City’s LandShark Bar & Grill at Resorts Casino Hotel is now bigger and better than ever with the completion of a multi-million-dollar beach expansion
The best beach bar in Atlantic City, as named by Casino Player Magazine for five years running, is now bigger and better than ever. A major expansion of LandShark Bar & Grill, Atlantic City’s only year-round, permanent beach bar, is now complete and already packed with locals and visitors seeking a bigger, better slice of oceanside paradise at the Jersey Shore.
The sister property to Margaritaville Restaurant, located across the boardwalk inside Resorts Casino Hotel, LandShark has taken full advantage of this winter’s beach replenishment project with two new bars – a tiki bar and a beach bar, private cabanas, a stage and dance floor, and more.
“We are ecstatic about the results of this investment in creating the city’s best beach bar experience,” said Mark Giannantonio, President & CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel. “The amenities at the newly expanded LandShark Bar & Grill truly take advantage of the already beautiful beach, ocean, and boardwalk that set Atlantic City apart from all other gaming destinations. We’ve dubbed Resorts ‘Destination Summer’ for 2025, and the amazing attractions at LandShark are a big reason why we’re living up to that claim.”
“We’ve taken the LandShark experience to the next level with this expansion,” added David Crabtree, CEO of IMCMV Holdings, operator of the LandShark Bar & Grill and Margaritaville Restaurant. “This sprawling new beach bar destination has more space, more ocean views, and more ways to soak up that laid-back island vibe Atlantic City deserves.”
New attractions at LandShark Bar & Grill include:
Oceanfront Tiki Bar & Deck: LandShark has expanded its footprint on the beach with a massive new Margaritaville Tiki Bar & Deck, where the drinks are cold and the views unbeatable. Visitors can enjoy handcrafted cocktails and ocean breezes with bar seating, tables, umbrellas, and chaise lounge chairs right on the beach.
Beach Bar and Deck: Located right on the beach and attached to the main LandShark restaurant area, guests can enjoy a Landshark Burger (and more) while sipping on a margarita with the Steel Pier’s Wheel beautifully hovering in the distance.
Beach Stage and Dance Floor: The Beach Stage is back! Located between LandShark and the new oceanfront Tiki Bar & Deck, the stage hosts headliners, local bands, and top Atlantic City DJs. Guests can also dance barefoot in the sand under the summer stars on the brand-new dance floor.
Beachside Lounge Chairs: Grab a comfy lounge chair, set just steps from the surf. Whether catching rays, enjoying the ocean breeze, or just taking in the view, LandShark offers the ultimate beach escape, with full food and beverage service delivered right to each seat.
Private Beach Cabanas with VIP Bottle Service: Take a day at the beach to the next level with private cabanas, bottle service, and a personal shaded oasis mere steps from the ocean.
Firepit Lounges: Nothing says “endless summer” like cozying up around a beachfront firepit. Grab an Adirondack chair and sip on a cocktail while the ocean breeze sets the mood.
