First opening in 1941, the club and the clubhouse have undergone a lot of change. In 2012 during Tropical Storm Sandy the entire club house was lost and officially reopened in 2019. Today the club serves its very active and diverse membership needs by providing various club programs, events, and facilities.
In addition to the striking views offered from its clubhouse, Shore Acres Yacht Club boasts one of the finest junior sailing programs on the bay, several well known local sailors have come out of our program and gone on to great success in and off the bay. The clubhouse is open nightly, Wednesday through Sunday (minimum hours listed below), although the boardwalk and grounds are accessible by our members at any time.

When mariners started crossing the oceans, flags were an important communications tool between ships when at sea and even ashore. Lives depended on correct interpretation of their meaning, especially on fighting ships.
Today, proper use of flags is not just a way to identify vessels and boating organizations, but to give important instructions, make announcements, warn of approaching storms, and mostly to honor and keep alive the naval traditions and seamanship spirit of those sailors that preceded us.Flags have different shapes and colors depending on their function.
