Barnacle Gift Shop — Local services in North Myrtle Beach

We love Cherry Grove and have been coming yearly since 2011. This is the first year that I packed everyone’s swimsuits but my own. I was happy to see a sign stating that all ladies swimwear was 50% off… but of course, everything was ridiculously priced. I’m talking $50-$189. For a swimsuit. I grasp the concept of supply and demand and I get it, but come on. Even JUST a bathing suit top started at $50. We were only in town 2 nights so I opted for wearing shorts and a T-shirt because I cannot justify spending that. I believe the prices are entirely too high to try and take advantage of people who do not want to travel 30 minutes away to Walmart or a $5.99 store with a 2...

My wife had picked up a pair of sandals to purchase, and then was looking for a swimsuit also. Didn’t know swimsuits were up stairs and the older lady employee ask what we were looking for kinda rudely. She directed her upstairs for the swimsuits and said make sure you hang them back where she found them, don’t mix them up. Then under her breath said it took me 5 hours to straighten it out. We were the only ones in the store and didn’t move anything around. She was very rude. So we put back the sandals where she got them and left the store. We come to cherry grove every year multiple times and this same lady is just rude. Want shop at this store...

Cute little store. Has a lot of tourist items at tourist prices. We stopped back by on our way out of town to get hermit crab supplies for our trip home.

We did not get hermit crabs from them. (I don't expect great habbita in a gift shop) The cages smelled (meaning dead crabs or bad food) and they had no natural shell crabs. We stopped at tsunami for crabs. They were much better kept but no real selection...
