Answered all my questions regarding specs, difference in styles, and was very knowledgeable with the newest releases/stock. She was more than willing to cycle through a half a dozen or so frames to help me determine the best fit. Most importantly during covid, I noticed she cleansed each frame I wore to reduce the risk of disease spread. Would recommend you visit here!

I was leaving for my vacation to Greece and realized that I needed a cool pair of sunglasses. I…read morewent to Sol Optics just to get an idea of the new styles and was surprised of the amazing sunglass collection they had. Also, the salesperson was very helpful and chatty and helped me with choosing a few pairs of sunglasses. I ended up getting just a pair of Ray-Bans that I absolutely love. I would have never picked this style by myself, but thanks to the salesperson's great sunglass knowledge and fantastic customer service, I was convinced that this is the best option for the summer and I don't regret it. I also had a fun time shopping for glasses. Thanks for being so cool, I will definitely return to get another pair for the fall/winter.

The shop owner Cindy was very nice to meet. If you're coming from a distance, best to email her to ask about the store's hours - they are only open til 5p & closed in winter months.

I would just like to say, the guy who was working today had the worst customer service. He was rude…read moreand acted like he didn't want to help and said he couldn't open the case for the glasses, unless I could point out what pair I wanted. I explained to the rude sales clerk that I had to see the back of the sunglasses to make sure the frames we're wide enough before I could tell him what pair I wanted... I walked out and will never go back and I will buy my sunglasses at a different store. If I could give no stars I would. As. Business owner myself I always give excellent customer service. If you want to be treated right, don't go here!!!!

Island Surf & Sport is essentially two different stores in one. You got the surf shop down bottom…read moreand the clothing store up top. The store up top you can find a solid selection and variety from the latest surf and outdoor brands with in-season clothes as well as some of previous seasons items on sale. The Board Room down below you can find a vast choosing of the latest and greatest from shapers and boardmakers. In addition they offer a surf camp and private lessons to those trying to get started. Every time I visit I have found the people working to be helpful and willing to engage in a conversation about what I am looking for or helping me find the right fin for my board. It is important to buy local when shopping for a new board, wetsuit, or leash so the surfing community can continue in areas like Newport/Middletown.
