“I’ve visited several times and have always been met with kindness, knowledge and availability. The store is beautiful and Holds many beautiful items . The staff and owner are the very best. Highly recommend this store”
“Great new shopping destination for us, so many wonderful things in this shop. Eddie is really nice & personable also, enjoyed talking with him. Prices are reasonable and selection is amazing. You probably won't leave with just one item :)”
“This place was adorable and the owner is cute as can be and just as sweet. This shop is small but mighty! With lots of little items to make you laugh and remember your time in Port A. This isn’t a typical souvenir shop with Port A stamped on everything (there are other places to go for that) but you won’t regret taking a peek at this funky shop.”
“This is definitely a great store. All the jewelry is made by local artists. The lady running the shop and I had such a great conversation even though I didn't buy anything. She definitely helped me with some much need conversation and advice I was needing to hear. Thanks you so much for knowing what I needed to talk about.”
“I was in the hunt for some high quality jewelry to commemorate our trip to Port A. not only did these ladies (who also own run Tippy Toes, equally as great) graciously take me to both shops to show me their entire selection, but took the time to figure out what my style was and talk me through options. The pieces were of the quality I have found at jewelry store, no cheats medals and extremely affordable. They have a ton of cute stuff, from jewelry to perfume to clothing items. VERY worth a stop in to both shops! We will be revisiting when we are back in town.”
“We stopped her on our way out heading back home from vacation. This gift shop has just about everything you can think of for souvenirs and anything for a beach house or back patio. Fair pricea as well.”
“My husband and I were in town because we got married on the beach on NYE "123123". We stumbled into the shops in downtown rockport for some last minute shopping before heading back to reality. A shop we entered before coming to New beginnings didn't even acknowledge our presence! As soon as we walked into this shop, Shiloh immediately greeted us in such a friendly, warm, and prompt manner. After browsing around the shop we struck up a convo with Shiloh, and began telling her about our wedding and showing off photos. We explained how we are a blended family, and she said she'd keep us in her prayers as her family is also blended. She easily made this our favorite shop! We wandered into the shop because of its name "new beginnings" and we are just embarking on our "new beginning". We also named our boat "second chances" so thought this shop was perfect for us and boy we were right! So glad fate brought us to this place! Thanks for your endless kindness Shiloh!”
“This is a quaint little shop to go pick up souvenirs from your trip to Rockport. There are lots of decor items to give your home that beachy feel. I absolutely love this place!”
“As usual, a fun experience! Unusual and interesting merchandise - and some of the most phenomenal photography you'll ever see, and you can take some home! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating - and prices very reasonable! Love this place ... we'll continue to be regulars!”
“This is my second favorite store in the Rockport area. They have so many fun coastal and beach themed stuff and dress and tops. They also have gifts and other unique decor items. They have a lot to choose from and yet the place looks so neat and inviting. I just loved how they decorated the store and it definitely reminds that you are at beach. I just wish their tops and dresses they carried in XL because they were so adorable. The last size I found was Large.”
“Me and all my friends got matching henna and the service was amazing like no other experience I’ve had with henna. His name was Bruce and he is an incredible artist.”
“Love love love this shop. Anytime I come to rockport I make it a point to stop by this shop. I bought a cup from here and got my name put on 5 years ago and it's my favorite cup!!! The sticker lasted great all this years and through all the abuse I've put it through. They have so many neat and cute things. Love this shop! Went today and got a koozie with my name on it. Love the color!!!”
“Shell World is a gem! The owner Robert was friendly and warm and funny and helpful, and his prices are definitely reasonable. Reading through previous reviews, it seems there is some confusion over hours/when they're open, but my fiancé gave Robert a call when we read the sign out front, and he came within 5 minutes to give us a tour. Highly recommend!”
