Tonight I was visiting a friend who complimented me on the top I had on. When I told her where I had purchased it, she wanted me to call the store to see if they had it in other colors. When I was in the store in February, I had tried on a top which didn't fit, and the owner said "I just got a shipment in and I know you will like the top and it will fit you" and that's the top I had on tonight. With regards to the review written in 2008, things have changed considerably. The owner passed away about 4 years ago, and his wife took over running the store. She has purchased more stylish fashions and jewelry, and I always come home with a new purchase.

The staff were absolutely great about searching for something new and different to try. It was the best swimsuit shopping experience EVER. I emerged with a new tankini that really flatters, in a style that I never would have tried on my own. My daughter bought a very nice tankini as well, on sale. The prices are boutique level, but they do have some sales (my suit was about $100, my daughter's about half that). A very happy holiday experience and I had a great new suit in which to feel more confident. Highly recommended.

In fact, when I was in St…read more Armand's Circle, there were stores selling t-shirts and other merch.. but as a typical souvenir- it was not there. So, in siesta key village it's the only good store providing visitors and residents on Siesta Key with what they want to enjoy the beautiful 8-mile beach and warm Gulf coast waters. Normally I collect magnets, shots glasses, and some frames and if anything local-then I go for that, like a tiki statue in this case. From beach mats, flops and sandals, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and sunscreen to sunglasses and trendy surf shorts, this well-stocked shop has a great range of clothing and equipment to choose from. and coming to souvenirs - it has all the range. When Shop says they have "Everything for the beach" they mean EVERYTHING! it has 3 sections, and you can find almost anything needed for the beach. Beach Bazaar knows exactly what you need at a low price

We snagged a few hats, sun shirt for Dad and toys for the kiddos. They have a little something for everyone. Name brands for those that care about that kind of thing.
