The overall ambiance of the store is well thought out and a pleasure to be in. Their cafe bar is perfect and they sell some delicious bottled sodas, Captain Curt's brand. I was treated well by the store clerk who was not overwhelming but helpful when asked. I highly recommend Captain Curt's for their gifts, overall beach ambiance, and their food rocks. Best clam chowder.

I have never in my life been treated so rudely! My elderly mom (who has trouble walking) and I…read morevisited the Siesta Key location this morning. The two women who worked there told my mom she couldn't put her basket of stuff down and to figure it out. Or they will just put it away. The cashier then proceeded to be rude to me and told me to stop being angry. ?? I only asked about a towel. The grey haired cashier was also was making the people behind us in line because she just wouldn't stop with me or my mom. The people behind us wanted to leave but they needed what they were purchasing. The woman and man behind us in line mouths dropped at the way this cashier was talking to us. The man spoke up once. What is happening?? We were calm and collected and she just kept at it! Younger me would have drop kicked this maniac. Unbelievable!!!

Perusing the shelves alone comprises its own joyful experience, but owner Jen offers a number of interactive activities that can be done within the shop. These include a make-your-own terrarium bar, paint-a-flower pot, glaze ceramic pieces, and even a library and coloring station for the kids. I personally took my 4-year-old here for books on a weekly basis over the summer. Best of all, Salt Your Soul is inclusive, judgement-free, and just an all out, high vibe spot to spend some time. Highly highly recommend.

The store itself is super clean and has a very wide variety of eclectic gifts to choose from. Lots of items from local artisans and brands.

If you are in the area and are looking for a special something to take home to a friend or family member or are just looking for a keepsake from Siesta Key, this is the spot to shop in! We will be back, Dawn!

This is a large store with a large selection of beach wear and souvenirs! Anything you can think…read moreof, it looks like they would have it. It was fun for us to walk thru it.

But for now I'm in Sarasota and it's party central and dreams of the continuation of sugar plums and a bright tomorrow still dance in every head. This above statement, although a bit rigid, seems to be the predominant head space for our lovable assembly at the church of Never-never Land where you never have to think adult thoughts and I remember those days well. I just needed cheap sunglasses having misplaced my expensive ones and I need to cut the glare for my eyes and protect myself a little from these lovebugs having sex on my face. I know it's their season and all, but get a crack in a door of a room or somewhere a bit less intrusive. And two conversations behind my head are on the Sillyland Express going fast track to nowhere about young love, which is sweet in theory but being bastardized in verbage. I couldn't resist to ask "Who is John Gault"? - Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged - ziiippppidie doodaaa - to me for invoking a colossal and misguided literature missle to the solar eclipse archetypes. They miss daily sunrises and sunsets but are consumed by a moon that's only an alien observation post, and it's getting more and more common for me to wish for an abduction and To Serve Man is the book I find upon their spaceship, it's a cookbook. But capitalism isn't broken yet here and doesn't show signs of failure quite yet because my sunglasses are ten bucks with about seventy cents of tax. They're sturdy at the hinges and appear to be Costa del Mar-esq in style and lense coloration. I still love beach shops although this one isn't exactly near and beaches. The shell necklaces, shot glasses, red Lifeguard sweatshirts and tye dye as far as the eye can see. A fine shopping experience in the end of times here in Sarasota.
