  Store carries a better selection of goods than all the others. Prices are fair. Downsides are the parking area, which is small and the arrangement of the inside, very cramped. All in all, this is the place you will want to go when shopping in Atlantic Beach.

  They aren't as bad as you think. Faira was a wonderful person to be around, she is a very interesting person when you get to know her. She helped me a lot while walking around the store, answering questions I might've had. Selena is also a very sweet person and is a joy to start a conversation with. Other reviews are talking about getting accused of stealing... It's required that if the metal detector goes off, you have to be checked. What if you actually were stealing? You can't really blame them. The teenagers who work here may be shy, but they are very sweet and wiling to help you. They also have signs that clearly says no refunds. You have to agree to that by buying an item, you honestly can't blame it on them when you weren't paying attention when you bought something. I work at a pet shop on the Eastern Shore and I loved their shell selection, they will be going home with me to help house the hermit crabs we have. They also stopped selling hermit crabs here themselves because of the treatment of the crabs. That is awesome that they decided to do what is best for the crabs instead of selling them in bad environments to tourists! I have LOTS of respect for that decision. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, do your research on the proper way to house a hermit crab. Painted shells are poisonous, they are allergic to metals, and they need lots of space and they need substrate to dig. You'd be shocked how differently they need to be cared for rather than how they advertise at the beach.) The only complaint I would have is the music and how loudly it's played. Being a teenager myself, I didn't like some of the music they played. Just a little quieter so it isn't blaring, and that is the only complaint. Otherwise, this is a cool store with many cool and eclectic things you can buy. T-shirts and clothes, jewelry, shells, souvenirs, toys and more. Love this place.
