This is my favorite jewelry store in Chincoteague in regards to very unique and quirky pieces of jewelry for a decent price. By no means are the jewelry and other items cheap, but for the unique design, they are likely worth the money. They have various other items like home decor. They have a sign that requests no pictures be taken inside the store. The staff were polite and helpful enough, offering to show jewelry in the cases. This is a must-stop if you are looking for one of a kind jewelry and are willing to spend a little bit more money. read more

Flying Fish - $35 necklace - Gift Shops Near Me - Chincoteague Island, Virginia

See all

One of the better gift shops on the island. Roomy, lots of glass blown art, hand-crafted items, many one of a kind. If you are looking for cheap trinkets, this is the not the place to go. Most items are in the higher price range because the quality of goods is better than what you can find down the street. read more

I've been stalking this bracelet all week. But it was too big when I finally tried it on. The owners didn't even hesitate to suggest they could resize it for me. I was thinking it would take a few days. They did it on the spot in minutes! I LOVE it. And the owners are so nice. They remember my mom (who visits for several weeks every summer). They ask about her grandkids. Their selection of products is artistically diverse and unique- the best on the island! Do not skip this adorable place! read more

Flying Fish - Gift Shops Near Me - Chincoteague Island, Virginia

This is a nice shop and a welcome visual change of place from the normal souvenirs you find not only here but in other beach towns. This is a higher end shop with all kinds of art work, some (most?) locally made. It's very clean but you're probably better off entering without kids--it's not that kind of shop. While it's clean it also feels sterile and the staff didn't come across as terribly welcoming like nearly every other shop on the island. There are a variety of jewelry, prints, sculptures, glass, and other art. Photos are not allowed as stated on nearly every flat surface. What I found most frustrating was their credit card minimum requirement. I don't like it when any store requires a minimum for a credit card transaction but understand it and usually it's a fairly easy minimum to hit of $3--here you have to spend a minimum of $20 to use a credit card, which is not allowed; we were buying a $16 art print. If it was solely up to me I would've walked but my wife obliged--we don't usually carry a lot of cash. I'd pop in again but doubt I'd buy again. read more

Flying Fish USED to be my favorite shop on the island. The past owners were/are amazing people with hearts larger than the ocean. Unfortunately the new owner is inconsiderate, distracted, and and has poor people skills. We were long time customers and walked in there with the air of anticipating the previous owners. We were sadly disappointed with the new owner and his conduct in the store. He is lacking originality, creativity, and consistency. We will sadly not returning to Flying Fish. read more

I have purchased unique and interesting items every summer for years from this store. This year I noticed the variety and quality of the jewelry had declined. Still I found a ring and earrings I loved and purchased them. The earrings were $80 and so I asked for the plastic "stoppers" you use to keep them from falling out of your ears. He (the new owner) said he didn't know where they were and to come back on Monday when the teenager he hired to work there was back. I explained I would be gone by Monday, and asked to take a set from a pair on display. He said he'd prefer I not take them. I returned the earrings and left the store. The previous owners were never this callous. I never thought a business person would give up an $80 sale for an item costing less than a penny. Not sure I will ever return. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Flying Fish. There were so many creative and artistic items, it was a pleasure to browse through them all. We found a glass item that we adore. The owner took great care to wrap and box it securely for us. With the great customer service and gorgeous inventory, Flying Fish was a highlight of our trip to Chincoteague Island. read more

I've come here the last two times I've come to Chincoteague and this is one of my favorites. Always some really unique finds, and I love the jewelry selection. I have not left without buying things both times I was here, so I make sure to pass by whenever I'm in town! read more

Nicest gift shop in Chincoteague. Their business card says "unique handmade gifts". Some are created by the owners on premises. Other items are sourced from artists around the country. Decorative art for your home. I have a great wire art piece from a guy in California. My wife picked up two ceramic cat sculptures. read more

Go to the flying fish every time i am here on the island. So much art from so many different people there is something for everyone. The owner once was so into a picture i took on the beach of a fox in the sand she wanted to paint it for me. And she did a great job, love the hospitality of the owners and love the atmosphere. Cant wait to see them again read more

This artist gallery was excellent! Such unique different and beautiful pieces. Very diverse in type of art...from local to international...in all price ranges! Loved! read more

My family and I have been going to Chincoteague every year for the past 23 years. No other gift shop in town compares to this place! They have a wide array of high quality decorative items made by arists from across the country. The items they sell are so unique and captivating, that I almost always leave with something new! read more

I've been going to Chincoteague my entire life, and only this year did I stumble upon this little shop. Now that I have, I only wish that I found it sooner. I could've spent hours staring at the artwork. Everywhere you look, you'll find something that you didn't see before. The art itself is indeed unique. The sculptures are quirky and fun. There are mobiles that I would love to have hang over my head. The wonderful part is that it all goes to support USA artists who send their pieces in from all over the country. My family is considering making a quick winter trip to Chincoteague just to shop in the store for Christmas gifts. If you're in town, you absolutely must drop in. read more

Great shop! Very unique and stands apart from the other gift stores around the island. Lots of handmade items, you are likely to find something. A little pricey, but that's what you get for handmade stuff. Owner was extremely cheery and helpful. read more

I love visiting this gallery! I have a silver necklace I bought 2 years ago, in the shape of a fish. It's one of my favorite pieces. Beautiful metal work and wall hangings, glass pieces, imaginative and not your run of the mill souvenirs. Prices are very reasonable! Can't wait to visit again this summer. There are other great shops to visit in Chincoteague but this is definitely my favorite. Don't miss the bookstore and the decoy/wood carving gallery! read more

Beautiful unique artwork, gorgeous jewelry and laugh-out-loud funny metal animal artwork!

The best store on the island! Everytime someone comes to visit me I have to take them in here. They have the most interesting things.
