If you are down at Ocean Isle Beach and you figure in some fresh veggies or fruit into your…read morevacation menu or want to take some home, then you probably want to visit Alice's Produce Market on Beach Drive SW to get your fresh produce fix. Alice's usually has good in season produce available, and you would probably do better to come here to check out what you'd like than going to the local supermarkets. Resembling some sort of old long military shed on the outside, it is full of good stuff to choose from. Mind you, it's not a super cooled AC facility but it gets the job done. Most of the times we have been by, the owner herself has been around. Moreover, she seems to remember her regular customers even if you are an annual only one. My friends that I go with to OIB swear by her produce and make it a "must do" stop each time we are vacationing. Bottom line: Good place to get your produce fix instead of the local supermarkets. Try Alice's first and you'll probably not need to head anywhere else for fruits/veggies.

Here at OI on vacation and we wanted to get deli sandwiches to bring to the beach. We did have a…read morePublix really close to us so we thought we'd get some from here (we usually like to shop local but it's a Sunday and many places are closed) Now, I'm not a huge sandwich person as I'm a picky eater so I was kinda hesitant but it was really good. The bread was very fresh and soft which is usually a deal breaker if it's hard and crunchy. I liked that you could make your own sandwich as I sub a lot of things usually and it was ready in about 25 minutes. Would recommend then for sandwiches if you are needing something fast! We also shared a pasta salad and potatoe salad!

Island Market is confusing. I tied my small dog, Josie, outside and came in last year. They told…read moreme to bring her in and were very nice to her. A year later, two days ago, I brought her in and the staff fussed over her. Today I came in with Josie and a guy behind the counter scowled at us. They had a dog sitting on the counter. The scowling guy said the dog did not like other animals. He also told me I couldn't bring her to the back, where they had been so nice to her the day before, and the coffee drinks and bagels were prepared. We went next door to buy my café mocha. So, Island Mart confuses me. They are either very dog friendly or not. Depends on the day of the week?

Sometimes you don't want so much bread with your sandwich.

If you are looking to make big grocery store trips to get a big bunch of food or supplies for the week, you probably are going to head to the Lowes Foods right back over the bridge or the Food Lions near Sunset Beach or Shallotte. But for quick things, a few food items or convenience store things, beer, etc. then Sheffield's fits the bill. A huge walk in beer cooler, always nice especially when it is so hot outside! There is a small seafood shop in the back as well. Quick ice stop here is probably the main reason we see it so much. Very nice people working, great location, and handy items make Sheffield's one place you will probably visit many times if you make it out to OIB anytime for a vacation.
