"Shell Beach at Shinnecock" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1895, this work is part of a series of landscapes that Chase painted during his summers at the Shinnecock Hills on Long Island, New York, where he established the first important outdoor summer school for art, the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art, in 1891. The painting measures 20 x 34 inches (50.8 x 86.4 cm) and is currently held in a private collection.

The painting captures the serene beauty of the coastal landscape near the artist's summer home and school. It is characterized by its loose brushwork, luminous palette, and the play of light across the scene, which are hallmarks of Chase's plein air technique. "Shell Beach at Shinnecock" reflects Chase's fascination with the local scenery and his ability to convey the atmospheric effects of light and color, which he imparted to his students.

In "Shell Beach at Shinnecock," Chase employs a high vantage point to overlook the beach, allowing viewers to take in the expanse of the shore with scattered shells, the gentle surf, and the distant horizon. The composition is balanced with a clear sky above and the detailed textures of the beach below, showcasing Chase's skill in rendering the natural environment with a sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

As a work from Chase's Shinnecock period, "Shell Beach at Shinnecock" is significant for its contribution to the development of American Impressionism and for its representation of the artist's innovative teaching methods. Chase's influence on American art was profound, and his Shinnecock landscapes are among the most celebrated examples of his outdoor painting. This particular painting is often noted for its embodiment of the idyllic American summer and the artist's dedication to capturing the transient effects of light on the landscape.
