Holy mother of beach items and clothing! We stopped in at this store while visiting Old Orchard Beach and have to say that it was both captivating and overwhelming all at once. This store is massive, has everything you need for a day at the beach as well as for any other activity you may be doing at Old Orchard. The prices here are decent and the quality is average, but the staff here is a bit intense and being followed through the shop was a bit uncomfortable. The only reason this didn't offend us was because everyone was being tracked while in the shop... talk about paranoid. read more

See all

Don't waste your time. Plenty of other beach shops in the area with prices that are decent. This was the rudest staff ever. The store is cramped and narrow and creepy men follow you around staring. We left extremely uncomfortable and observed the same from other customers. They also hover around the changing rooms. Absolutely disgusting. read more

My sister and I had the most bizarre experience here last week. I picked up a shirt that was folded up so I could see what was written on it. As I was refolding it to put back on the shelf a man approached us and asked if we were going to buy the shirt. I said we were just looking. He replied, " Well, look with your eyes and not with your hands. Don't be unfolding my clothes if you don't want to pay for them." My sister and I were stunned by this. We were the only people in the store and I was literally folding it nicely up. If he doesn't want people touching the merch then maybe he shouldn't be at a retail store! We were both so uncomfortable at that point that we just left. Screw this place, for real. Go spend your money on someone who actually wants your business!! read more

Attention members of the Big Titty Committee! I found it!! The elusive 32DD bra sized bikini top! Dy-No-Mite is your typical tourist beach shop that I would have normally just walked by, you know neon beach gear and loud music blaring in your face. Fortunately I could see the massive bathing suit selection and went in. The colors and patterns were ok, they didn't make me feel like a grandma like Figleaves does. Not designer or anything, but beggars can't be choosers. The girls in the store were super helpful. I wanted a bra style top and cheeky boyshort bottoms. They mix and matched some brands for me and no one can even tell the difference. They had a wide range of sizes, I saw 36, 38, E, F, halter, cross back, and bra-style. I know summer's over :( but I want to go back and stock up! read more

There was a ton of beach stuff and I think the prices were good. However the one thing I didn't like was being followed in the store and having the employees just stand there and watch you. read more

First you are watched like a hawk. As soon as I touched the clothing they ran over to stop me and do it themselves... they didn't want me touching it. But perhaps that when discovered their dirty little secret. My daughter wanted a lifeguard sweatshirt. I noticed that the Old Orchard Beach was placed over a piece of red tape. I took the sweatshirt out of her hand and flipped it inside out and under the tape it said "Panama City". So they must be buying discounted clothing and covering it up so they can place OOB on top. I called them out on it and told my daughter we are going across the street where you can get one done without it being all junked up. I felt bad when I passed a couple people with their sweatshirts on. I paid the same for a new shirt that didn't have anything to hide. Very deceiving. Perhaps that is why they don't want you touching their clothing?? read more

As Jimmie Walker used to say in Good Times, "dy-no-mite!" This certainly applies to this beach boutique. Open from May to October, Dy-No-Mite is the everything-beach shop you can love. Owners Jack and Rose know their business and can judge your size just by looking at you. Unbelievable variety of sizes. Offering swimwear, tees, sweats, shorts, beach accessories, souvenirs and even taffy; it is an all-in-one shop you will want to visit. Be sure to check out their sales if you like bargains. Otherwise their prices are typical. Overall, a fun place to visit on your way to a fantastic beach vacation. read more

Fun fun fun! Crazy cheap stuff that's fun to buy on vacation! Forgot your towel? Go here! Forgot a hat, sunblock, a bikini, a beach coverup, forgot your speedo... They have any kooky thing you might need! read more

Last year during my vacation in Olde Orchard Beach, I needed a swimsuit that would actually fit me, so I searched and found this store. It was absolutely amazing to find a place with such a huge collection of large bust sized bikini tops! The store owner was very knowledgable and knew my size right away! It's nice to walk into a shop where the owners actually know what their talking about. I regret not buying more, a lot of them really fit great! The owners were very helpful, a little pushy but backed off when I said that I wanted to look on my own. They've got nice swimsuits though, and they know it. read more

Don't like this place. The staff here is the epitome of agressive, pushy salespeople. Plus, once you've rebuffed their multiple attempts to "help" you, they just follow you around like you're going to steal something. My sisters and I were shopping all up and down Old Orchard Street (the address is wrong in the yelp! listing, btw),and when we stopped in to Dy-No-Mite, we left quickly. The people who run the joint speak some other language, and once we politely declined their offer of assistance while we shopped, they made no attempt to hide the fact that they were talking about us in their foreign language. Overall, it was one of the most uncomfortable shopping experiences I've had in a long while. Check out of the other 100 or so t-shirts and etc shops in town. There is nothing worthwhile to check out in this place. read more

I live locally and had been in this store once before to buy shoes for my 4 year old. The man there was incredibly helpful, so I was surprised to go in again to purchase a bathing suit, and be so mistreated by the older female cashier. I purchased two bathing suit bottoms for a total of $66 but found a similar suit for $15 on my way out the door. I returned to the counter and kindly requested if I could make an exchange. The woman did nothing to hide the fact that she was annoyed and complained that my card wouldn't work on her register - she'd have to go to another one. I might add that no one was in the store at the time so she wasn't busy. She then called the manager to the front and suggested that I told her an incorrect price on the bathing suit bottoms - "that I was trying to get something for nothing". He confirmed the price of the suit. She did the exchange but then told me I would have to pay cash for the new bottom - that she "had already done too many transactions". I only had $10 cash and she refused any other form of payment. The manager was no where to be found, so I left angry and told her she had been less than helpful and I wouldn't be returning to the store again. I later called the manager to give him an opportunity to explain and he had nothing to offer....I told him he should be concerned as to who he has representing his business. Worst cashier ever... read more

I tried to exchange a t short i purchased 2 days ago- i had not even tried it on, but realized when i unfolded it that it was super long, so I just wanted to exchange and get a medium- The manager brought the shirt to me as i was looking for a medium and said the shirt was dirty. Upon looking at it i noticed burn marks that ran thru the shirt front to back, prob from screen printing. I insisted I had not gotten the short dirty but he kept saying I had. In a sense he called me a liar.I take tourists there every year that come to visit me in OOB.After I informed him he could shove the shirt, I informed him not to expect any further business from me. not that he cares i am sure.. read more

I went into the store today to return something that I had bought a few days ago. It still had the tags on it but I didn't have the receipt. I had taken the price tag off the tag because I was going to give it to my mother as a gift. When I went to wrap it I noticed it was faded on one side like it had been hanging in the sun. As soon as the sales women came over to the cash register she had an bad attitude. I told her I wanted to return it and she said in her broken english "I need to know the day you bought it and I need a receipt". I told her I didn't have the receipt and she said "no receipt no return". I told her the item was faded on one side and I didn't want my money back I just wanted to exchange it but she said even louder so the entire store could hear her "no receipt, not return". I again tried to explain that it was defective and she looked over me at the women waiting behind me and reached out to take their item to ring it in! Do not EVER go to this store. That is SO rude! I told her I would never go back in that store again and she said "with customers like you we no need you." Wow! Take my adivce and don't go in there! read more
