Sustainability at The Shell Cottages

We believe small choices make a big impact. That’s why we prioritize sustainable alternatives that reduce waste, support local businesses, and help protect Cape May’s natural beauty. From refillable bath products to eco-friendly cleaning supplies, every detail of your stay has been thoughtfully chosen with sustainability in mind.

Eco-Friendly Essentials for Your Stay

Refillable Bath Products

We’ve eliminated single-use plastics in our cottages by switching to refillable bath products in collaboration with Shore Soaps. These high-quality, locally made soaps, shampoos, and conditioners feature a custom blend of bergamot, sandalwood, and lavender essential oils.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning

Our cottages are cleaned with biodegradable, non-toxic products that are safe for guests and the environment. We also provide eco-friendly dish soap, all-purpose sprays, laundry and dishwasher pods, and compostable trash bags keep things fresh without harming the planet.
