This new candy place is on the boardwalk next to Britt's Donuts. They have a variety of candy as…read morewell as bottled beverages, clothing, shells, knick knacks. Candy ranges from jelly beans to chocolate-covered you name it, sour candies, and taffy. There were some candies that are old school like bazooka. I didn't see any out of this world unique kind of candies. If you want any of the candies in the glass cases, you asked the staff for a scooper and you start filling up your bag with whatever candies you want. Regardless of the candy, it's a base price of $12.99/lb, which is a bit pricey. Understandably it is the boardwalk. I was disappointed that some of the sour candies were either low or out of stock. (I arrived around 9:30 p.m. on a Tuesday) I got some sour belts-the strawberry and apple mix and sour blue raspberry belts were both good. The mango sour belts were decent-they had a strong mango flavor. I didn't really like the watermelon sour belts. They didn't have the sweet watermelon taste I was hoping for. They are only open during season and will be closed during off-season, which starts around Labor Day.

I'm sure the staff has a hard time keeping up with the messy tourists, but that's the only reason I couldn't give it a 5! I would've loved if the tshirts were organized or hung up on a rack so people could be in and out vs kneeling on the floor to rummage.

This is not a 'gourmet' ice cream shop, just a quaint little soft-serve place on the boardwalk. And I appreciate not having to pay $8 for a little soft serve cone that had a great twist of flavor....was it 'epic'? no....but 'just right' ? Yesssssir. ;o)
