Well, there's alot of people named John who instinctively have an affinity for your store. And…read morethey, like myself, are interested in what you currently have in store for them. Every time I go to Folly Beach I look forward to visiting your business. Why? To purchase one of your shirts with my name, John, on it, and then I start looking around. Usually I'll also purchase a sticker and a shell or two. So, once again, great idea having a store named Mr. John John E. BS. Marketing Asheville

Kudos to this establishment for decades in business in little Folly Beach. They provide whatever…read moreyou need for beach life, pretty much, from souvenirs to sunscreen. The selection leans more toward family beach visit than surfer gear. You can get the later at a couple dedicated dive shops across the street. When I wandered through I didn't see anything I had to have but I could hear staff helping other customers in a friendly way. The prices were about what you would find elsewhere but you cannot beat the convenience of having this place just down the block from the beach.

Sitting on Center Street, connected to the Vacasa Rental spot and next to the Circle K is Islander,…read moreone of the few souvenir shops lining the main strip of Folly. Islander is fairly large, surprisingly larger than it appears from the road. Like most shops they feature a plethora of local branded items from shirts, cups, hats, frames, sticker, magnets, etc...as well as a large variety of toys, Knick knacks and even shoes. Prices are what you would expect with most clothing ranging from $16 - $30. Service left something to be desired. And honestly, the service was non-existent. The cashier was standing behind the counter and was not paying attention to anyone in the store and even when I walked by the counter and made eye contact, she still refused to speak. Maybe she was already tired of the tourist crowd...but If that is the case, then she has a long season ahead of her! Overall, Islander is a local souvenir shop that will do you well if you are after some gifts for yourself or folks back home, as well as any last minute toys or supplies you may need.

If she would have just explained that they don't earn things I would have been fine. But instead she said "you can get a new one if you pay. Did I break it? You broke it so not my problem".

Some items have TWO price stickers on them ($14.99/ $19.99) and if you don't pay attention you will be charged the higher price. Dirty practice, if you ask me. I'm a local and didn't notice until later that this is what they do and they have a no refunds policy, so if you don't catch it right away, you're out $5. Keep this in mind -- buyer beware.

Native is one of the few souvenir shops that line Center Street in the heart of Folly Beach…read more Situated about 3 blocks from the beach, they offer a wide variety of Folly branded items such as shirts, hoodies, hats, magnets, cups, etc...along with other items such as stickers, toys and random Knick knacks. The store is jammed with merchandise, so not a lot of room bigger parties or crowds, but with the lack of walking space, they made sure to capitalize and use all available space for merch! Service has meh. The lady behind the register barely spoke, and her attempt was during the transaction at check out and was surrounding receipt options. Outside of that, especially when I was actively shopping, she was not interested, even though I was the only one in the store. I ended up buying something, but the service left me less than enthused about a return visit. Overall, they had a wide selection of keepsakes. If service was better, it would make all the difference!

They have a good selection of made in Charleston food items: hot sauce, jams, jellies, tea, salt, biscuit mix, cookies, honey, just to name a few. I found the prices to be very reasonable without the arduous drive through downtown to find street or paid for parking. They also have Charleston made tea towels, soaps, lotions, shirts, jewelry, and signage. I also found out they offer soap and candle classes in which you can make your own. I would recommend anyone looking for some great gifts for themselves or others, check this place out. While it may look tiny, they truly have amazing things here.

The shirts and hats here are pricier than a touristy beach shop, but they look like they'll last for years to come and many more beach visits. If you have kids to shop for, this is a great spot, and you can find everything from shirts and hats to books written by local authors. I personally like buying Christmas ornaments when traveling, and Islands Mercantile has an impressive selection of those, too. When you walk in, almost all of the items are Kiawah themed, but as you walk to the back of the stores you see enclaves of Seabrook items. Check out the sale area for deals too.
