I know, I know...it's not about these adorable birds, but they're really melodious. Anyway, I've lived here many years and have always passed "the big orange" but have never stopped in. Today, the traffic was too much and curiosity won. What a neat "Florida" place. Friendly staff offered me a sample of freshly squeezed OJ and we had a pleasant conversation. I meandered up and down the aisles thinking about gift ideas...of which there are many from giant shells and coral in the thousands of dollars to tiny treasures that you can scoop up. There are also yummy food items like jams. Swing on by and enjoy a break from FL traffic!

This is the quintessential Florida gift shop. Big orange outside in the parking lot. Mini juice boxes emblazoned with photos of alligators, bleached sea shells, bikini clad piggy banks, and sun-baked postcards all under the ever-present fluorescent lights.Delightfully liminal, this shop has any souvenir you need as you head to the airport to escape the humidity our state is known for. Get seashells by the handful, ogle at a placemat of historic hurricane routes, buy some cocktail themed playing cards, or grab a what is surely hand-painted lobster wall hanging.There’s a parking lot up front, along with an ever-scowling wooden pirate to set the tone for your visit to this store of maritime taxidermy and kitsch.The employee behind the register was incredibly friendly and happy to chat. Store is well-maintained and much more inviting than other beach shops you may find.Florida is a weird state, and well-curated gift shops like these serve as an immersive experience of our most famous caricatures. Enjoy your visit, and don’t forget to get your seashell souvenirs.

Stopped by to get a few gifts for family and friends back home. The owner (I think?) was very friendly and so helpful!They have a large selection of shells, all very beautiful, different size options, and all reasonably priced!They also have corals and other small souvenir items available as well. The pet finches and cockatiels were so cute too. It's not right on the beach, so you might think it's inconvenient to go to, but definitely worth checking out.

Hubby and I were looking for sea shells, and this place did not disappoint! The variety of shells as well as amazing coral specimens was awesome.

I like their selection of shells and friendly service a lot. It's the only shell shop of this kind that I know of -- aside from a shop in the Keys. I'm surprised they don't hype their shells more in their name and advertising though. I'm somewhat disappointed they charge a 3.9% credit card fee and don't tell you up front. There may be a sign in the establishment but I didn't see it if there was. I will still come back though.

I went here expecting to find oranges etc. I only found souvenirs and trinkets. We were asked to buy fresh orange juice three times after sampling it. We had no place to keep it. I wanted oranges. I understand there was a hurricane but really, if you can sell them online why not in your flagship shop? Like the other reviewer said a tourist shop with OJ.

The day manager was very friendly and hospitable. If you want shells, post cards and honey, and you don't want to fight the beach traffic, THIS is your store. It's very close to I-95, with easy access.

One of the best shell shops for seuveniers or gifts. Perfect shells for hermit crabs. Tons of parking and great customer service. Amazing! 10/10

Lady that works there was so awesome. She was kind, funny and genuinely helped us. We had a great conversation and the OJ was so good.
