    Alvin's Island is the souvenir/beach shop located in the Fishing Village, a six-acre site of restaurants and shops next to the new Fisher Family Pier. It is located next to the Kilwin's ice cream shop and across from the Beach House restaurant. Alvin's is a chain of souvenir shops that opened their first store in North Myrtle Beach, SC. They are always located near the beach and now operate 36 retail locations as well as an online store. The shop is steps from the beach and they have everything you need to have a fantastic day in the sun. I was surprised by how large and bright the store is. They sell beach chairs, hats, bathing suits, bags, sunglasses, boogey boards, sand toys, souvenirs, and shoes. There is apparel for men, women, and children. The amount of clothing emblazoned with Pompano Beach is dizzying. I thought prices were high, $20 plus for a t-shirt but in line for what you would expect from a tourist shop. I even saw some styles I would consider wearing as a local. As nice as this souvenir shop is they sell one item that absolutely disgusts me, real baby alligator heads. They come from alligator farms where the alligators are bred specifically to be murdered at various stages of their lives for human entertainment. What is the purpose of killing baby alligators which pose absolutely no threat to humans and then sell the heads in gift shops? Why should they have to give up their lives so someone could have an antiquated cruel souvenir? We have tourist coming from all over the world and many will be going into the Everglades. This is not the way to show that we respect and honor this unique ecological system. I would like to see these horrible heads replaced with toy alligators for children and eco friendly toys and books that teach them to appreciate one of the greatest natural treasures we have, the Everglades. Pompano wants to be the beach of the future. This relic from the past is holding them back.

    Prices are reasonable and it is located in close proximity to burger, pizza and ice cream shops, across the street from the Pompano Beach pier.
