From the welcoming dog bowl ready for any passing pup, to the attentive staff greeting you as you enter, to the epic local merch for Bethany Beach... we always enjoy when we stop here during our stroll up and down the Main Street of town. With a wide selection of name brand surf clothing and beach gear, you can be assured to find something that you need or just something that you want to remember your trip by. I have purchased all of my Reef sandals from here over the years... it is nice to try on what you are buying and to check out the latest trends. Even with Size 15 shoes, they always have plenty of sizes and options for me too! I LOVE their Bethany Beach merch. An homage to the towns totem pole and a cool drawing of the Main Street with noted icons of the town! The price is great too! Always nice to support a local shop and enjoy the vacation vibes of Bethany Beach.

Let me start this off by saying I would love to support small businesses any chance I get- but some…read morebusiness just aren't worth supporting. Quite literally any surf shop between bethany and rehobeth beach is better than this one. I went in to buy a tshirt and two stickers. Was offered a bag, said yes please, and went about my day. Keep in mind the bag is blue. About 2 blocks down the road (10 min tops) I notice i'm suddenly COVERED in blue dye- on myself, my clothing, and may I add a BRAND NEW $40 tshirt bought yesterday from Quiet Storm in Rehoboth (pictures attached below). I calmy way my way back to the store. The cashier was so helpful, very apologetic, and offered to call her manager. The manager stated their "refund policy" which says no refunds are accepted and they only give store credit. I explained my newly bought shirt from them INSIDE the bag was safe from the blue dye so i did not need that shirt returned. However I did want a refund due to compensation of blue dye ALL OVER myself and brand new clothing. The manager refused and offered to call the owner. We waited in the store for about 15-20 minutes for the manager to relay the same message from the owner. They offered no refund, no compensation, only offered to give another one of their shirts. Not sure about you, but after a business just ruins a BRAND new shirt due to cheap bags- i'm simply not interested in supporting them by wearing another shirt with their name on it. The refusal to give me a refund due to their greediness & lack of accountability is quite literally mind-blowing. I've never seen a small business ESPECIALLY in Dewey Beach be so money hungry they forget to have a single ounce of consideration. This screams cheap, and we don't have money to do half of what's right. The quality of merch displays this perfectly. I would avoid this place at all costs, the only good thing about this place was the kindness of the cashier though dealing with HORRENDOUS management. I would highly recommend checking out surf shops in Bethany Beach or Quiet Storm in Rehobeth. All will be a million times better than this place & you won't leave being a canvas to a cheap bag. Awful establishment. EDIT: I did demand a refund bc your cheap bags ruined my shirt. I offered to give back the one I just purchased in exchange for my money back. Trust me i'd much rather have the shirt I was wearing CLEAN and UNDAMAGED than 2 of your shirts. If your store policy stated you had cheap bags that would stain me and my clothes I wouldn't have purchased from here in the first place. It was not raining when I left and unfortunately not my fault bags can't be stored properly.

I used to shop at Ron Jon's when I lived closer to the east coast. Being that I haven't been there…read morein awhile I wasn't sure what to expect. Note I did check out a few other "surf" shops in OCMD that were quite frankly a hot mess and junky. The outside and inside was very pristine and well kept. I love all the brands Oakley, Costa, Rip Curl, etc. The staff was pretty nice. I did buy a Ron Jon pop socket for my phone. Probably overpaid for a Ron Jon logo one but alas I'm from the West Coast and I thought it was cool. When I got back home I found a cute Ron Jon sticker they put in my bag. Clean, Organized and nice upscale merchandise.

I'm not going to lie, I'm the wrong person to do a review for a place like this so whatever I write…read moretake with a grain of a grain of salt. YMMV. The last two times we've been to OCMD my Old Lady wanted to come to Ron Jon on some sort of nostalgia trip since the last time she had been to one was thirty-ish years ago at a long since closed location somewhere in NJ. My take on what they sell here...Hard No. If you're into pastels, bold colors, more cut off shirts then Larry the Cable Guy owns, loud prints and logoed corporate merch then I guess you might be good here. But, if you're an anti-consumer like myself, you'll last about three minutes before your eyes will roll back in your head like a shark chomping down on a harbor seal waiting for the deliverance of leaving. The staff we encountered was very nice and they answered a question or two my wife asked regarding the few trinkets she wanted. If you're into stuff or the types of things Ron Jon sells, then you'll love it here. If not...

This is where I found a great place to eat one time. I wanted to spy how much a new pair of flip flops would be and wasn't having much luck at other stores. I saw this place and figured might as well give it a shot. From the outside this place looks like another souvenir shop you might just walk by. I came inside and quickly became aware that this is more of a clothing store. I didn't look at all the clothing I just found the wall that had all the flip flops. I was a bit distracted while in here and started to only notice the pricing. A bit steep and I could definitely find them elsewhere for a better price. As far as customer service, I can't speak on that. I was not approached by a single employee while in here. Came in and left without interacting with anyone.

Upon entering the store an elderly couple was exiting and said "I don't think anyone is working in there". We were in the store browsing flip flops for 10 minutes and only saw a group of 4 people in the corner chatting. Upon leaving one of the 4 people walked behind the counter so I assume they work there. They never acknowledged us on the way in or out or anything, it was quite strange. I wonder if the store was being robbed? Merchandise was not organized either, otherwise would have given 2 stars but since you can't find anything or check out if you want to pay or buy something, I gave 1 star.

From the owner: Layton Surf Co. Story Our story is simple. Our Family has…read morealways loved going to local surf shops when we would go on vacation and during our summers in Ocean City, MD. We have always talked about what our Surf Shop would look like if we ever opened one and what brands we would create. So, after years of dinner time conversations we decided to go ahead and do it! Each one of our children developed their own brand. Alyssa helped develop our lead brand for Layton Surf Company. Christian came up with Country Surf. Country Surf is a lifestyle brand that combines beach and the beach country music vibe. Hence Country Surf's Moto "Surf, Sand and Song". Zachary came up with Water Sports Performance Gear, or WPG for short. Zachary loves all things you can do on the water, fishing, kayaking, SUP, jet skis, etc. This brand does not just focus on fishing, but anything related to water sports. Somer created Summer Skye which is our ladies surf style brand. Summer Skye's motto is "Ocean, Sky, Earth." Somer would often go into other surf shops and notice that there are not many options for girls, so she has set out to change that. We hope you have enjoyed our story and look forward to seeing you soon!
