We always stop in at the beginning of beach week to find great reading material! Nice staff!

I was so happy to find a book store at the beach! And I found a book I have been searching for & purchased a few more :) Ladies were so nice. The store is so organized. I can't wait to come back!! read more

This store is adorable, and so well stocked for beach reads! There are guides for all things fauna and flora, beach reads, book club reads, and that's just what I was interested in. The staff is so nice and helpful! I HIGHLY recommend this book shop! read more

Absolutely 5 stars. Extremely diverse and expertly curated selection which includes plenty of current fiction, nonfiction, and "beach reads" as well as many other titles that are unexpected finds in a small to medium-sized bookshop, Taking the time to browse pays big dividends. read more

Really fun store with a pretty good back collection of comics and manga selection, is in a fun random place but has a nice selection.

Great eclectic bookstore with something for everyone. How many stores have you seen with Blacksmithing books. There is a small selection of used it is primarily new with large selection of comics. Price the same as Amazon without the wait. They even have art supplies so don't let the Comic book sign put you off I am sure you will find something to fill the time you aren't at the beach. read more

I was excited to take my family today to support a local bookstore and stock up for our week here just like our family supported the local beach bookstore during my childhood. We walked in the door and my husband asked if there was a trash can where he could throw away his club soda can. The one girl up front was very nice but the other girl made a huge deal about how food trash could not be thrown away inside and that he needed to use the trash can outside. It wasn't the principle that I had an issue with, had she asked nicely if would have been no big deal but instead she treated us like we had asked to throw away a 4 day old tuna fish sandwich. Despite this we dropped over $100 in their store which no doubt would have been less on a well known online retailer. She would do well to learn that customers pay her paycheck and next time be polite and kind in asking a customer to use the trashcan outside. read more

This place was so great. Not an overwhelming selection, but really well curated and knowledgeable/friendly/enthusiastic staff. Went in with my kid and got a cool science book (that seemed regionally self published) and a comic. My toddler is super into spider man and as a kid, I never had that phase--so I'm always buying comics that are too insidery for me and tough to explain to a kid. The saleswoman was so knowledgeable and helpful to find a comic with captain America/iron man/Spider-Man that made sense and had an interesting story. Comic books are a subculture like records where people can vibe you for being less knowledgeable, but she seemed excited for the challenge of making things approachable Earlier in the week I was biking west on the island and thinking, "so weird, a billboard for a book store six miles behind the sign?!" So when I saw it in the strip mall, I was curious. I guess the billboard worked! I brought two books with me to the beach and finished 1.5, but next time I come to AB I'll just save the luggage space and pick up a surprise read more

This bookstore is a hidden treasure. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but their collection is really good especially for the size. The staff was helpful and friendly, willing to assist with any needs. Their comics collection was a real treat, worth it just for that. A must if you're an avid reader and need something to lounge on the beach with, or snuggle up with by a fire. read more

In today's world of big box stores, dot coms, and mail order convenience, it's rare to find a brick-and-mortar store that surpasses them all. Such is Beach Book Mart! I highly recommend making Beach Book Mart your primary source for all things books. As a bibliophile, the highlight of my week is stopping in to purchase comic books, fiction and nonfiction books, and to visit with the awesome staff. Always welcoming, always helpful, and always engaging, Liz, Jan, and Suzanne are the best! If Thomas Jefferson described you when he said, "I cannot live without books," then you cannot live without Beach Book Mart. read more

We were very pleasantly surprised by the wide range of books at this conveniently located bookstore. We went in for one or two books but couldn't resist and came out with six! The stacks are well organized and marked so we easily found the sections we were looking for. Plus, the prices are discounted from list price so everything's a bargain! Locally owned, hard working, knowledgeable staff AND helpful recommendation for where to find the best desserts! read more
