This place has some serious beach and surfing equipment along with skateboards. Yes they have tons of clothing, hats, shoes, eyewear and swimsuits. It's not a huge store,but they definitely pack in some good surfing gear. Only thing I found conspicuously absent was anything to do with fishing. They do have six dressing rooms for you to use. Definitely a good spot to check out if you're into surfing.

So then my first thought was, why am I the first one to write a Yelp review? In order to gain entrance you have to ring the bell and a nice older lady will come and unlock the door for you. Once inside you see a mix of wooden, metal and ceramic artworks. They also have handbags, swimsuits, some glassware and jewelry items. It struck me that this store seemed a little out of place, as if it belonged more in the area of the Woodlands near Houston, as opposed to the more pedestrian crowd on the island. The prices were a little on the high side, but nothing really too outrageous. The pictures tell the rest of the story.

The quality of the clothing and other wares is a little better while staying within the same price range as those other stores. It is a lot smaller than most of those souvenir shops but quality wise, it really shines. The primary articles for sale in the shop is clothing and shoe wear. Lots of shoes and sandles! They also have windchimes, bags, hats, glassware, swimsuits, puzzles, games and books, but I did not see much in the way of inflatables. This establishment is worth checking out and the pictures below should peak your interest.

The jerky acceleration made the cart uncomfortable and laughable to operate. The store making the rentals requires copies of your ID and credit card before even allowing you to read the contract and required documents. They get five stars for the t-shirt service, but getting upset because we wanted a well-maintained road vehicle wasn't necessary.

My 11 year old son used saved up allowance to buy a flipper/goggle/snorkel set for $29.99. The…read morerubber on the flipper literally snapped in two the first time he tried to use it. Pieces went flying. Within days, I went back to the store with my receipt and the broken flipper set and asked for refund. They refused. Said I didn't have the broken pieces (?!). Then they said that it "wasn't their fault." They refused to stand by the product they sold. There's no return policy on the receipt and none posted that I saw. They certainly didn't point a policy out to me or reference it when I was there. They just REFUSED to acknowledge that they sold a a DEFECTIVE product or to stand behind their merchandise. Look, this is a store full of cheap tourist trinkets. I didn't expect (even for $30) a high end quality product. However, I did expect that my son would get a few uses out of the item. Shoddy. Cheap. All around infuriating.

She followed me around the store and, on two separate occasions, came up to me and said, "We're short staffed." I genuinely wasn't sure what she meant by that. The impression I got was that she didn't want me touching or looking through the shirts. After the second time, I finally asked, "Are you offering me a job?" She immediately backtracked with, "No, no, that's not what I meant..." but I still never really understood what she was trying to communicate. What bothered me most was that I didn't see her treating the other customers that way. I spoke with the manager before leaving, and she said she would address it, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the experience left a bad enough impression that I won't be returning. There are plenty of other souvenir shops on the island where I can browse without feeling like I'm being monitored. Port Isabe/SPl has too many great places to shop to spend my vacation dollars somewhere I don't feel welcome.

On top of the great inventory, the proprietor was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to right from the moment we stepped inside. It turned what could have been a boring wait into a fun, effortless shopping stop. Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic beachwear and top-notch local hospitality!
