While summer in Cape May holds a special place in our hearts, those who know us best know that autumn and winter are when the real magic happens. As the ocean breeze cools down, the calendar heats up at Montreal Beach Resort and Harry’s Ocean Bar & Grille. From spooky Halloween pop-ups and warm autumn gatherings to cozy holiday celebrations with Santa himself, our beachfront home is Cape May’s favorite destination all season long.
Here is what is in store for you when you stay and celebrate with us this fall and winter!
1. Set Sail for BOO BAR at Harry’s
Ahoy, mates! Every October, Harry’s undergoes a frighteningly fun transformation as we launch BOO BAR, Cape May’s ultimate Halloween pop-up experience. Step inside our haunted pirate’s den featuring eerie lighting, cobwebs, nautical-gothic decor, and spectral surprises at every turn.

2. Celebrate Together at Our Friendsgiving Dinner
November is all about gathering with the “family” you’ve chosen. Join us at Harry’s on November 6th at 6pm for our special Friendsgiving Dinner, a cozy evening designed around good food, ocean views, and great company.
Featuring multi-course chef-inspired seasonal dishes paired perfectly with select wines and bourbons, our Friendsgiving event lets you kick back, raise a glass, and let us handle all the cooking and cleanup. It is the ultimate fall tradition to share with your closest friends before the rush of the holiday season kicks into gear.
