Obviously, it's expensive, but pretty much everything in Ocean Shores is. For a touristy gift shop, it's great. There are things you might have forgotten at home, like swimsuits, sandals, swim shoes, pajamas, slippers, etc, for all ages, as well as tons of random souvenirs. They also have a big saltwater taffy section, and you can fill up a pitcher with taffy for $15 which is a pretty good deal considering they'd be like $1 per piece individually and the pitcher holds over 30.

So we decided to take our business else where. This guy looked like he just wanted to pick a fight with someone. I politely explained that I needed to adjust my mask to make sure it was secure on my face, and this store employee was rude and disrespectful...

Most of the clothing seemed like great quality. I purchased a hooded sweatshirt ($28) and it is honestly the softest, most comfortable sweatshirt I've ever owned.
When visiting, also be sure to check out their sister store "Cloud Nine" next door (to the right of Sharky's). They have a good selection of items as well (owner seemed a little moody, but everyone...
