One of the oldest Cayucos traditions is right here at the Shanty…but first, let’s go back to the 80s…….

It all started at Chuck’s Steak House in Orange County, where Sea Shanty owners Billy and Carol first met—she was behind the bar, and he was in the kitchen. Back then, all the chefs wore tall traditional chef hats…except Billy. He stuck to his signature baseball caps. Regulars quickly caught on and began bringing him new hats, and before long, he had collected hundreds.

When Billy and Carol opened the Sea Shanty over Memorial Day weekend in 1983, Carol decided those hats weren’t coming into the house—so she put them on the ceiling instead. What started as a simple solution turned into a tradition. Ever since, customers have continued to bring in hats and leave their mark.

Today, the collection has grown to thousands of hats, each one with its own story. And the best part? You can still bring one in and add to the ceiling yourself.

SWIPE for a trip down memory lane!
