This is quite the groovy tourist shop and they even have some quality items that are appropriate for the non-tourist to peruse. The selection in here is truly impressive and even if you have visited here in the past it is worthy of additional visits as they always seem to add new items. The also seem to frequently have things on "sale" which may or may not be the best value but I've honestly seem some good to decent deals in this joint. Overall this is a definite spot to check out for locals and tourists alike for the sheer entertainment value and enormous stock of goods here!

You probably know about the Sea-N-Suds restaurant and boozing establishment on the pier with one of…read morethe best ocean views of any spot in the area but now you also get the excitement of their Gift Shop. The Gift Shop is actually in the hotel right where you get on the pier to walk up to Sea-N-Suds and they have a decent selection of Sea-N-Suds gear and clothing to meet most tourists needs along with a few surprises you just need to see for yourself. So just make sure to go have some fun and food at the Sea-N-Suds first so when you stop in the Gift Shop later you can enjoy your tourist experience better by making some poor decisions and buying things you usually wouldn't before suds and booze got involved.

This is one of the main big tourist shops in Gulf Shores. Essentially this joint is right next to…read moreSouvenir City and the main distinguishing feature of the Purple Octopus other than its name and the addition of purple octopuses all over their store is that they tend to have less stuff than Souvenir City next door. Now the selection here while similar to Souvenir City does have some different things so you might want to just take the time to look in both stores to ensure you don't miss something really cool on sale that you never would have dreamed you needed or wanted. Some of the items here also seem to be of less quality than some other places. Overall since Souvenir City and Purple Octopus are so close to each other you might as well check out both.
