Such a great little candy shop, in such a cool location too. Went in and got some of the chocolate gummies as well as the chocolate covered walnuts. All milk chocolate, based on my lady friend's preference of course 😋

A sweets store on the pier. Love the salt water taffy and chocolates. They also have ice cream. They are pet friendly. Easy parking nearby for about $3 an hour.
