On this vist I met with Pam who help guide me through the decision process as to which type plants would best suit my needs base on what my expectations were. She was a "Rock Star" because the information and knowledge she had opened my eyes to things I did not know. I feel I made a good choice on the 8 plants because of her. HSII should be very proud of her as an employee that's kind, friendly, knowlagable and dedicated. Thank you Pam "Youre A Rock Star"

We came here on a rainy weekday as an adventure and the kids had a blast. The whole front of the store has big tubs of bulk candy, and you can fill up your bag with whatever kinds you want for a bulk price (less than $7). Get a bag from the front and a scoop from the counter. Gummies, sour candy, chocolate, gum, old school candy, salt water taffy...so much to choose from! They also have several counters of specialty chocolates like nonpareils and truffles and fudge and chocolate covered pretzels. There is toy-based candy too, like yo-yos filled with candy, dinosaur spinners with candy, stuffed animals you can fill with bulk candy, etc. And so many toys! Any kind of stuffed pony you can imagine, as well as Ty stuffed toys, purses, all the squishy toys, etc. They have tshirts, hats, sweatshirts, onesies, etc. And a selection of other gifts like jewelry and goat milk soaps/lotions, slippers, etc. We easily spent an hour there looking at everything then as the kids filled their bags.

This is a candy and gift shop. Like many things at the touristy shops, everything is over priced…read more For instance, I paid $.69 for a single post card that was $.25 at the next gift shop. This place has tons of candy that I assume is made in house, but other than saying hi when the door rang to alert the sales people I was there, they were not helpful. We will stop here on the way out of town to get some salt water Taffy as it is a requirement to bring Taffy home.

The booths are so good and so much home baked goods like pies, cakes, breads, a breakfast food truck, iced teas booths, Greek baked cookies from adorable Greek lady.

It's not a big town and you don't want to miss this delicious market. The highlight was the breakfast food truck in the back. Perfect sunny side up eggs, hash brown and toast. Yes please!

Saturday morning and my wife told me we had to stop to get some honey. As a grumpy husband my…read moreimmediate thought was ... well you can guess. Well once again I was totally wrong. Island Queen isn't a gigantic operation, but we had an amazing visit. Stephanie took time from her busy Saturday morning to show us her operation including the bee hives; a little tutorial on raising bees; how the weather impacts them ... It was fascinating. And it may sound weird, but the color of the honey her Chincoteague bees produce is amazing. The honey tastes wonderful as well. Oh, I forgot to add that Stephanie and her husband make some amazing art pieces and their garden is stunning, though the bees apparently don't think much of it. Well worth visiting.

Tangier Island is a unique, tiny island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. We took a ferry over…read moreand immediately were offered a golf cart tour of the small fishing town. Our guide gave us the fascinating and rather informative history of this quirky and one of a kind destination. Population of about 400, the island houses private residents and just a few businesses. There's one small grocer, a post office, 4 restaurants, a few souvenir shops, one school, a doctor's office (a doctor comes over twice a week but three nurses are on call). One police office, no jail. A couple of churches and the museum are on the main circular road that encompasses this charming seafaring village. While this isn't an "exciting" or "happening" town, it is thoroughly engaging and delightful! The tour lasted only 15 minutes but it packed a punch. We went over a couple of small bridges around the inlets and saw some beautiful foliage and wildlife. You could see that many of the buildings and homes were weather beaten from the bay's salty gusts and storms, but that just added to the character of the island. After the tour, we walked all around the island which didn't take long at all. We bought some Tangier merchandise at the local souvenir shop, visited the sweet museum and enjoyed informative exhibits. We went to Fisherman's Corner Seafood Restaurant for lunch and the tour guide was right, you have to get a crab cake here in Tangier! All lump crab meat, huge and piled high in a golden brown patty! Our visit ended with a soft serve cone from Four Brothers Snack Shack, where we basked in the sun and soaked in this poetic, natural wonder! Our trip home left us not a little sleepy and dreaming of the sea!

The Genocide of Tangier Island…read more To all that have never been to Tangier Island, you owe it to yourself and your family to find your way to Tangier and it's neighbor, Smith Island. The island, the people and its way of life are being politically sent to the "Gallows". There is a paraphrase saying "If man created the problem than man can solve the problem". The pollical will to let Tangier Island die is in the crosshairs of the EPA and a forever genocide of a way of life and its history. If nothing is done to change the course, Tangier Island in our life time will be gone forever and it will never return. On your visit to Tangier Island you will be able to witness in real time, the death of an island. The current government will focus on nonsense issues at the cost of helping real people that are struggling to protect their way of life. The worst of the matter, there are many less costly solutions to saving the island than the cost of letting the island die. The history of the Island and the friendly atmosphere of the people is absolutely the best. I have been to Tangier Island seven times in the last 30 years. Each time, I am moved by the challenge that the island is facing. You will find your visit to Tangier Island unlike any place of interest that you have visited in the past. Whether, you travel by plane, ferry or boat, you will be taken on how nice and friendly everyone on Tangier Island is to visitors. Enjoy a living historic island. David Silver Spring, MD

Crab cakes, pizza, burgers, hot dogs, subs, salads, pretzels and of course ice cream. Something for everyone. Just remember that you will be sitting outside at picnic tables under cute thatched umbrellas but they also have a shady pavilion type area. Not only do they have food but they have golf cart rentals and bikes too. One stop shopping. Customer service was very friendly. I ordered the soft serve. Even though they have 24 flavors I got chocolate. So basic. But it was sooooo good and hit the spot after a day of walking around. The flavors range from coconut, peanut butter, blueberry, watermelon, amaretto, strawberry and lemon. My chocolate was devoured before it had a chance to melt. I love soft serve!!! Definitely recommend for ice cream.
