“My all time favorite place for outdoor gear! My first purchase was a pair of waders for my URI wetlands course in 2005, and while I live in MA I like to make a pit stop anytime in the area. The store has changed very little over the years and I like it that way. A welcoming local business with quality products and great service.”
“LOVE this store!! If ever visiting Newport, it's a must!! There are so many items to choose from- trendy jewelry, adorable sweaters, dresses, accessories and lots more!! I love that online shopping is available as well! Highly recommend this shop!!”
“As a Quonnie girl living in NYC with access to tons of stores and designers, none of those compare to shopping with Sandra and team at Galapagos! I dream of my trips back to my favorite beach town to be styled by the most incredibly fashionable, kind, and genuine woman who has an eye to pair the perfect dress, belt (knotted in the coolest way), and shoes. You look in the mirror and are truly transformed and in awe of how Sandra has put your look together! It always works, and you always look phenomenal. She just gets you and your style, and then elevates it beyond what you could have imagined. It is a shopping experience unlike anything you’ll ever come across (and this is from a girl who LOVES to shop). From international to runway to boutique designers - there is something for everyone to be found in one of the chic rooms of the perfectly curated house on the hill! From work conferences to weddings, I always feel confident and get a ton of compliments while wearing something from Galapagos. I cannot thank Sandra enough for all of the years of making me both look and feel fabulous. Carve out some time (because there are so many great pieces to see), have a fun fashion show upstairs, walk out with absolutely incredible clothes that everyone will ask you about, and then pop into Dave’s for a delicious scone and coffee! And you too will be dreaming about the next time you get to go back!”
