CJ's Crab Shack

CJ's Crab Shack at 600 Ocean Drive puts casual seafood right at the center of South Beach's iconic strip, serving the kind of laid-back coastal food — steamed crab, shrimp, and classic seafood baskets — that fits naturally with the beach lifestyle. The Ocean Drive location means you are steps from the sand and the Art Deco backdrop while keeping the food relaxed and unpretentious. For those who want to taste the sea without committing to a formal seafood dinner, CJ's strikes a good balance. Outdoor seating, casual service, and a menu built around crowd-pleasing crab and shellfish make it a fitting option for a beachside lunch or an easy dinner on one of SoBe's most photographed streets.
