We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of boards here! I can't remember the owners name, but he was such fun to chat with and talk surf for a while. If you're in the area, this is a great place to stop into. He has Shibumi's to equip your beach day with, a nice selection of goodr sunglasses and lots of neat little gadgets for the beach. We will be back for sure!

My recommendation - check out this place in the offseason while they're still open. The shop itself is quite cozy, and beach apparel and accessories fill every nook and cranny. If the small parking lot looks full, be prepared for a cramped interior and long lines at the register. Service is efficient and helpful, which moves that register line along quickly. If you're visiting, this is a great spot to support local business, and score a 2022 Kemp's Ridley turtle watch shirt.

After a lengthy conversation with an employee about recommendations on beach tents that were easy…read moreto assemble and held up well in the wind we ended up buying a Neso Grande from beach mart. We appreciated the UV protection it offered as well as our main reason for the purchase was to provide our young daughter some shade. We took it to the beach hours after purchasing only to realize that it was impossible to assemble, even with multiple people assisting, and that the wind appeared to be too much for the poles and sand bags, to handle. We attempted to take it back and were refused a refund by the employee(s) then the owner as they stayed it has "already been on the beach." My husband questioned "how are were supposed to know that it didn't work like we were led to believe had we not taken it to the beach?" but the manager stood firm. Now here we are at the beach, 171 dollars later with a tent we can't utilize. I would expect more from a self proclaimed family owned business. Would not recommend!

Just like its name, it's a charming store with a wide variety of women's clothing, and home decor items, including farmhouse chic, beachy, and traditional. Staff are attentive and welcoming but not intrusive. The displays are enchanting, often renewed, and I love to visit just to relax and explore what they are selling. It's a tranquil place and I always find something special there. Their selection of artificial flowers are excellent quality and look amazingly real. I kept having to touch them to confirm they weren't! I learned that the staff will also create custom arrangements or wreaths by request. Their clothing is "boutique" style, and fairly priced. I was pleased to see they have a wide variety of sizes and unlike similar stores (ex., J Huffman) they have a good selection of plus sizes too. if you're looking for cute decor or unique women's clothing, stop by The Southern Charm Company.
