I visited Freaky Tiki Surf Shack twice in just three days while celebrating my anniversary in Clearwater, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. The store has a great selection of shirts and beachwear--everything feels high-quality, and there are plenty of unique designs that make for perfect souvenirs. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful without being pushy. It made browsing and shopping feel relaxed and enjoyable. Very happy with my purchases. read more

Love the designs here! My husband and I stopped in just to look around bc we were intrigued by some of the stuff in the window and ended up getting a couple things for us and a couple things for our friends. I loved the ladies shirts because they had unique styles rather than just tees. The catchphrases are cute and there's a lot to choose from. Prices are also reasonable for a tourist shop. If you're visiting Clearwater, this is a must stop destination for some souvenirs! read more

Freaky Tiki Surf Shack - Sportin' the Freaky Tiki Tank - Accessories Near Me - Clearwater Beach, Florida

This is my favorite store to buy beach clothes from a local company. I go back every time I come to visit and always recommend this location in Clearwater Beach to my friends, as they have the best selection and really fun beach clothing. The customer service has always been good, but I have to give a big thanks to Emma, who gave my wife and me the best, most fun and friendly service I think we have ever had anywhere. If we had a local business there, we would be trying to steal Emma away from Freaky Tiki to come make our customers feel the way she made us feel. You made us want to come back and shop for more, and we will. Thanks for the great local designs, cool clothes and fun employees like Emma. read more

I love this store. I have been in twice in the last week.. and I live here! The girls who work there are so helpful and the collection is great! I love the smaller room off to the side. Their clothes are so cute and fashionable. They have things for beach style and for dressing up. They also have the classic tourist stuff too. If anyone asks, I will gladly recommend checking this place out.. and I have!! I will be back to spend more soon!! read more

Every time I go to Clearwater or St Pete Beach I stop in Freaky Tiki to take a look at their new t-shirts. I particularly like that the designs are made locally. The drawings that are classic and show the young mermaid are my favorite t-shirts. And I also like the men's shirt with the old diver and tentacles drawing. I like the fabrics because they are so soft and last and don't stretch or shrink so that makes me want to get another shirt every time. read more

I had fun browsing here. They had some nice clothes and the store layout and decor was fun. Not the cheapest but definitely higher quality than the tourist shops. Go Indie!!! They have toe rings and some costume jewelry too. Keep it sexy. read more

Horrible store management. They told us a hoodie with a broken zipper and then would not provide a refund. Instead, they put it back on a hanger and put it on the shelf. Young looking manager was very rude. We have bought a lot of items from this store in the past. Never again. And will tell everyone we know about this experience. read more

Wonderful selection of high quality tshirts and beachside attire. Prices are reasonable and staff was friendly. Much better than the souvenir shops! read more

I'm with the others on this place in terms of service...it's a small store, I get it, and you have to look out for shoplifters, however I don't like being watched while I shop, plus the girls in here were far from friendly. This place left a bad taste in my mouth... just something off about it. Sure, they have all kinds of cute things, and I wanted to buy something that had "Freaky Tiki" on it, so I bought myself a pair of shorts. This isn't your typical souvenir shop, but it's worth stopping in to check out if you don't mind the semi-annoying staff as they are a turn off to this place. If you make a purchase, you can get 10% off at Pacific down the street, from what I was told it was a higher end place. I didn't get a chance to check out Pacific, their partner store, but it's a perk of making a purchase here. read more

This is a very cute surf shop on the main street along Clearwater Beach. They have very cute and reasonable beach clothes. My favorite is all the beach and summer dresses from the line called "Ocean Drive". They run around $30. My husband bought a pair of Sanuk sandals, which are very squishy and comfortable. I have never encountered rude staffs at Freaky Tiki. They were all helpful to us. I guess maybe we were lucky and had nice people that day??? I don't know but I always stop by this place when in Clearwater beach. read more

Wow! Now, this is no shack. It is a super well thought out cool t-shirt and clothes store...they have some sweet little dresses as well as a TON of Freaky Tiki screenprinted shirts and hoodies...they are NOT the typical beach screenprint shop with neon and 8 colors on your shirt. They are COOL. Hip, on trend. And decently priced $18-$25 for nice slim fit shirts. The place is built and designed to look like a tiki hut...cool vibe, good beach hippie music...try it, buy a shirt. read more

I look foward to every trip to Clearwater just because I love this store so much! Everything I have gotten from here is super cute and comfortable. The employees are always friendly and the pirces aren't too bad. They even have a kid's section and my daughter loves all of her Freaky Tiki gear! read more

My husband and I were visiting Clearwater Beach and doing some window shopping. Freaky Tiki was the one place that we went back to after visiting all of the others. They have really cute "Freaky Tiki" t-shirts. We bought a mermaid one for my daughter. It was a little pricier than the other places on the beach but a much better quality shirt and a really cool design. My husband loved the clothes at this shop. So much so that he would have bought way more if I would have let him. Anyway, he picked up a pretty cool button-down shirt and was very happy with it. We didn't interact with the salespeople at all (and we visited twice) except for at the register. That's fine with me, since I like to be left alone when I shop, but I can understand the negative reviews regarding the service. If you're a tourist and you don't want to look too touristy, then this is probably the shop for you. read more

I think I have an obsession with surf shops. Maybe because I'm a Midwesterner, with no access to an ocean? Yes, that must be it. While I don't remember if there were any discerning qualities between this place and all the rest, the name is better (Freaky Tiki is a much better name than Surf Style), and I found some very comfortable flip flops here. Stop in here if you're strolling down Mandalay, and get a little "freaky". read more

I loved the women's t-shirts here. I'm someone who never wears shirts because the quality, fabric, design, fit... etc. is always off... imagine my surprise when I saw a pile of nicer shirts that looked great on. I bought 3 my first go and now am planning on returning before my vacation is over to buy several more as gifts. read more

Such a great store. We walked by after hours and I saw a shirt I knew I needed. We came by this morning after breakfast and I'm so glad we did. Staff super friendly and very cool store! Ended up finding 4 tops we needed and thinking about going back before we leave tomorrow and getting a few things I don't know if I can live without. read more

This small shop is located right by Shepard's Beach Resort. It is very small on the inside and a little pricey, but to be expected in a tourist town. They had some unique items and clothing which was fun to look at, but the price tags..... ouch. The person working was very nice, asked if he could help us but didn't hover or make us feel like we were thieves. We purchased a shot glass for my MIL who is a collector, and my stepdaughters grabbed a nice pair of sunglasses. Worth poking your head in to browse. read more

Love the unique graphics on the super soft Tshirts! Tshirts run VERY fitted. Customer service is A++!! I had to return a tshirt via mail from Chicago to Florida and the shop staff was so sweet in how they handled the exchange!! They sent a little goodie package back to me along with my new tshirt! Things like that just don't happen these days. SUCH a treat!!! I will be back to buy more next year for sure! Would love it if the website got back up to working order. I would probably buy more online. read more

Great local clothing store! The clothes are trendy, the prices are great. They make everything local, which im a great supporter of. read more

I purchased a pair of Sanuk Sandals from the Freaky Tiki Surf Shack while on vacation. I wore the sandals for ONE day and the top lining of the sandal started to peel and gave me a blister on the bottom of my foot. The receipt I have, clearly states "No returns, Exchange only with sales receipt, 30 days exchange period." Since I had only wore the sandals for one day, I brought the sandals back for an exchange. The manager, Ethan, proceeded to tell me that the sandals were "Final Sale." I told him that this receipt does not say any items are final sale, he did not tell me when I purchased the item that it was final sale, and there were no signs anywhere in the store stating the sandals were final sale. He said the item was "wear and tear" and he would not take it back. Aren't most items wear and tear?! He refused to exchange my sandals even though the receipt and store policy clearly stated that I had a right to exchange them. He proceeded to laugh at me for "making such a big deal about $32." Since he said he was the manager, I asked who the owner of the store was and he smirked and pointed at himself. Feeling helpless I left the store and tried to call the police but they told me they could not enforce store policy. This was, BY FAR, my worst experience with a return/exchange and an extremely disrespectful and unprofessional store manager. And now I am stuck with a pair of sandals I cannot wear, and a store I will NEVER return to. ALMOST ALL THE STORES ON MANDALAY AVE SELL THE SAME ITEMS, I WOULD RECOMMEND PURCHASING YOUR ITEMS FROM ANY OF THE OTHERS STORES IN THE AREA. AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COSTS OR YOU WILL BE TAKING A RISK AND MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE SOMETHING IF IT BREAKS, EVEN THOUGHT THE STORE POLICY SAYS YOU CAN. ALSO, THE MANAGER ETHAN, IS COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND PROVIDED THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. read more

Customer service is garbage. The girl at the counter was rude and seemed deliberately unhelpful.

The selection is pretty good, but service is horrible! We walked in last night to look around and two employees stood in a doorway which separates the two sides of the store. They talked to each other the whole time, didn't acknowledge us even as we walked between them a couple of times to go from one side of the store to the other. Extremely rude behavior, zero customer service. read more

Great customer service and wonderful quality product! Bought a hat here for my family member and it has lasted in great condition ever since purchasing over two years ago. Just revisited the store to buy local Clearwater Beach apparel. They always have awesome stuff! We visit the store every time we come to Clearwater Beach! read more

This place has super cute clothes but the staff is rude. They don't welcome you to the store or thank you for shopping when you purchase things. I visited several times and it was always the same. read more

Vacationing at Clearwater Beach and just happened to walk into this store. It was very clean and had a nice selection. There are two sides to the store. One side had mostly clothing on it. I bought two tikis and they looked very good. The customer service was great and they offer military discount. read more

I am a local here and I've lived here for 6 years and I just recently discovered this adorable place ! This "surf shack" is very beachy and down to earth which is what makes it one of my favorite shopping destinations on the beach. My granddaughter lives in Virginia and I found her the cutest "karma" tank that fits her personality perfectly. The sizing run very small but the lovely girls that work here helped me to pick the right size. The customer service is great. The girls give you your space to shop but are very helpful and happy to help when asked. I will continue to return to the freaky tiki to shop when I go to the beach ! read more

I purchased 3 shirts here recently and Eric the sale person forgot to remove the security device from one of the shirts. When I returned to the store with the receipt to have it removed there appeared to be a small hole where the device was located. I was honest with Eric and told him that my son may have tried to remove the device to save us a timely trip to the store. Eric then became rude and told me that he would not do an exchange. After a heated discussion with him he then preceded to reattach the device back on to my shirt. At this point I was so frustrated I told him to stop what he was doing and I left the store. I will never enter that store again. FYI...Eric has long blonde curly hair and told me he has been there for 4 years...oh, and he's the manager read more

Manager was absolutely wonderful, we purchased a tank top and it was on the clerance rank but didn't have a tag, she accidentally charged 14.95 instead of the 9.99 it was labeled for, I went back into the store and she was incredibly polite and apologized like 3 times and refunded the correct about! Best customer service I have ever received on Clearwater and will definitely return to this store for any further clothing purchases!!!!! Loved her to death!! read more

I absolutely LOVE this store and will definitely be back every time I visit. They have unique, quality merchandise. Reasonable prices, but DANGEROUS because you want everything in there. They are a refreshing change from all the stores that sell the same cheesy beachy crap. I've seen some bad reviews on service, but I've been twice now and had the complete opposite experience. Can't wait to go back. read more
