Salty Dog T-Shirt Factory - Arrow Road — Local services in Hilton Head Island

Neat place to visit with kids or with pets. Look up the legend of Jake the salty dog before you go--there is an illustrated version available online for free. The staff is very friendly and enjoyed our kids looking around. There is very little that is breakable and plenty of room between displays, so it was a nice souvenir shop for a family to walk around in without worrying.

Decided against it, because that seemed like some exceedingly silly and frivolous spending, and who isn't trying to make every dollar go further these days. All in all, store is bright and clean, with very friendly staff and an extensive collection of shirts, hats, stickers and so on. Glad I went here first, than doing...

You should definitely check this place out if you love the salt dog cafe. They have a huge merch selection- plenty of different colors and shirt types (comes in handy when you have a picky husband). They have any type of merch object you’d be interested in! And this is their shirt factory so you can see where they make all the shirts in the back of the store. It was also a bit chilly out so their birds were inside and in the back of the store too. They all have their names and ages available on the glass-...
