Seriously? That was painful. We came here looking for shoes for my son. We asked for help from one…read moreemployee who pointed to one wall for younger/kid shoes and then a row for bigger/adult shoes. My son is right between sizes, so we asked if they could size him so we had a better idea of what would work best. We were told that there were sizing tools at most benches and to ask for help if we needed it. Dude. That is what we are doing. He walked off before the shock wore off. We did find a tool, sized my son, then found another employee for shoes in his size. He pushed a few buttons on a handheld he had and told us they didn't have it in stock then started to walk away. We stopped him and asked for another shoe in his size. Again he pushed buttons on his handheld with the same answer. He again tried to walk away. So we then asked if any shoe on the table we were looking at came in his size. He rolled his eyes at us before pushing buttons on his handheld. Yup. Rolled. His. Eyes. My son needed new shoes so just looked at shoes instead of using my big girl words about that behavior. Anyway... He found a shoe in my son's size and luckily my son liked them. We boxed up the shoes and went to the counter in the shoe area where two different employees were talking to pay. Set the box down and said we wanted the shoes. They both look at us like we are crazy before one stated "well, you have to pay for them before leaving with them." Pretty sure my attitude came out when I responded with "that is why my wallet is out." With just as much snark, we were told we have to pay up front. The experience had my blood boiling. We were there maybe 25 minutes, but it took almost twice as long for me to calm down. So if you come here, hopefully you have a better experience than we did. 29.01.2026

Fishing: plenty of structure and you can expect to catch mangrove snappers, sheepshead, sharks, lady fish and your standard pier baitfish. Decent current that flows under the ringling overpass. The bait shop live shrimp was decently priced and the convenience of proximity is worth noting. If it's low tide you can head down to the oyster bed and pick some mud crabs and mangrove crabs for bait. 2. Waterfront playground: Super clean and padded playground area. Plenty of benches to watch the sunset. I believe some adults also try to use a section for exercise. Peaceful ambience to enjoy the outdoors and then head in to the bait shop for some ice cream for the kiddos.

If more retailers offered this level of service & expertise customers would enjoy shopping in-store again. Phil was extremely helpful, I received a topspin lesson and tested three rackets.
