First off this place is located at The Wharf, a very cool shopping, marina, dining & entertainment complex in Orange Beach, and you can find them on the same side of the complex in the shadow of the Ferris wheel next to STK burger. This locally owned and operated shop have a very cool vibe and it's not the all too common, touristy feel or selections of goods. We were greeted at the door by Steve, a very charming & welcoming gentleman, who immediately asked us if we would like a margarita. Wait, what? This is a tropical apparel type place, not a pub or Taqueria so naturally, I asked how much were their margaritas. The reply was a surprise and fun "they're complimentary". Wait, what? LOL Steve informs us that he is allowed to serve alcohol but cannot sell it, hence free, AND you can even take the drink with you and walk around The Wharf, like Bourbon or Beale Streets. Wait, what? I was very surprised by the free booze and I rarely drink :-) Anyway, on to the store, it is a very charming place with a focus on beachwear & some other cool stuff. I was disappointed because he had some cool flip flops and somebody bought the last size 13's :-( There's some designer stuff, I have no clue because I don't do labels, but other stuff I recognize like Tommy Bahama :-) There's a lot of very cool Buddhas and even cowboy hats, what? On the beach, absolutely! :-) Just check out my pictures and you'll get a sense of what this cool and eclectic shop has and you too can drop in for a margarita and cool music overhead. Great shop, I highly recommend it!

Tried them on and they were not a good fit. Took them back and they said they would not return them because they were swim wear! I never wore them and all the tags were still on them!!

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS STORE AND WILL HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL TEACH THEM WHAT GOOD SERVICE LOOKS LIKE!!

The desire for shirts, hats, stickers, and decals, was big too. So this cozy little shop on the corner of Gulf Shores Pkwy (Hwy 59) and Clubhouse Dr began making high-quality merchandise available to locals and visitors. From t-shirts and hats to drinkware and beach accessories, this store and GulfShoresGear.com is the only place you'll find official Gulf Shores merchandise. There's also some very cool merch available from local artists as well. It's open Monday thru Friday 8am-5pm and Saturdays 10am-3pm.

I also noticed that they do not carry 2xl anymore, which is very degrading. They also only label their sizes in letters (ex. S, M, L, XL), so when I went online to buy a pair of shorts in the men's section, there was no size chart available. Also, very observant but floors in the Orange Beach store are not very level, I almost tripped a few times. I also noticed color differences in some of the tops. I was shopping for myself and my girlfriend and some of the clothes on the women's side were more faded than others. All around, highly don't recommend.
