We went to look around and see if there was anything we liked. Great tourist shop/surf shop, had some cool shirts but the hoodies were a little overpriced, found a cool one but it was $72. We also found a boogie board for $110, but it looked like a nice one so I’ll give them benefit of the doubt. Overall pretty good... read full comment
