Typical beach town souvenir shop. Among the swimsuits, sandals and oversize towels, you can find…read morethe usual trappings; shot glasses, coffee cups, keychain, and the ever-popular puka shell necklaces. My kids were more than happy to blow the majority of their souvenir budget here, and I found myself tempted by a few things as well. Prices were slightly more reasonable than other gift shops I've been to. Extra stars for the sweet and quick staff, they plowed through the line with quiet efficiency, slinging that charm that the south is known for. *pro tip: there's a door that connects to the ice-cream shop next door, a great way to avoid the heat when you've had just about enough of it.

Coming to SGI for me is all about the beaches, beautiful sand and crystal clear warm water, we got…read moreall the shells we could pack away, and had a great meal and refreshments at a local outdoor bar / restaurant and all that was missing was a little souvenir (refrigerator magnet for the RV). We stopped in here to get the above mentioned, there's lots of touristy stuff here and a staff that was more interested in what was on their phone than providing a great customer service experience like others have said "no smiles, no thank you" - believe me all these souvenir shops are dead in the off season so nobody was overwhelmed here including myself. The selection was not that good but my agenda was to get something from the area and I did on my own after scouring this place after asking for some direction from the staff - I don't thing they know what a refrigerator magnet is so they weren't much help but I got something and cashed out...

They have a fantastic selection of soaps, lotions, candles, clothing, as well as jewelry. I was able to find a very unique and special necklace for a gift, and while I was there I was able to find a greeting card amongst their wide selection to accompany it. However, my favorite thing about Riverlily is Emma & Ivey's Beautiful Eggs with Gulf Sunrise Yolks. This was the last place I would have thought to find farm fresh eggs, but they have them. They are pleasing both to the palate and the eye. Stop in: you will not leave disappointed, nor empty handed.

This little shop is next to Oyster City Brewing so while Ben was inside the brewery, I popped in to…read morecheck it out. The shop offers unique items that are mostly coastal inspired. I saw a cute sea urchin bowl that I knew would go well with my mother's bathroom theme so I took a picture to send to her. After taking some pictures I saw a sign that stated absolutely no photos. Umm, well too late on that part and honestly seems a little crazy to me. Given the price points of some of the items, I would never just take the plunge and buy something without confirmation if for someone else. Another reason it seemed crazy to me was because the most if not all the items weren't one of kind. Maybe a piece of art here or there but they had Burt's Bees items which is sold everywhere and multiple numbers of same items, books, etc. The shop was very cute and I did like several items in there for gifts but did not make any purchases. Maybe if ever in the area again.

Not only was the service exceptional but the bikes were new and ideal for the island. When we asked about baskets, she said they had ordered them but they were not in yet, so she loaned up a backpack (no charge, nice). Two hours later, she texted us to say the baskets were in! Great service. There are other bike rentals on the island but I highly recommend this one which is clean, neat, totally on the ball and even has a store dog:=-)

The brilliant white tower looked beautiful against the deep-blue Florida sky, and the surrounding grounds provided several excellent angles for photographs. Inside the museum, the displays explained the lighthouse's history and included a particularly interesting exhibit about the Fresnel lens and how its system of prisms concentrated and projected the light far out to sea. The lighthouse, museum and island setting combine to make this a fascinating stop along Florida's Forgotten Coast. Cape St. George Light 2B East Gulf Beach Drive St. George Island, FL 32328

I do appreciate it after driving hrs. We paid $7 per person to clime it.

We headed to the beach afterwords to my surprise being in the Golf coast the water was clean and warm. Not shells almost very disappointing. A few people some music playing in the background nothing disturbing. One thing I did liked was the kids box beach toy available by the sand I guess you bring it back to it.

The nautical decor here is pitifully over-done, a niche business maybe in some way, but those thoughts are buried in the tales from the old shop reviewed here, you can still see the old decaying abandoned building on a seaside street on the edge of town. I entered this new shop without reservations even after listening to a pair of customers exiting the business filled with disappointment. I had no prior knowledge or bias, so I own my opinion expressed here. There was no interaction with the staff, she seemed pre-occupied behind the counter sitting with her back to the customers the entire time. I live near a beach so I completely understand the seafaring theme but I had no idea by the store name that I was entering a shop with such a narrow focus so I guess that was my biggest disappointment besides the pricing, I felt the quality of a lot of the pieces didn't match the asking price but then again nothing here had me drooling to negotiate a better price. I walked the entire property in under fifteen minutes which was plenty of time to view everything including a little room off the main floor that was partially filled with Native American art and trinkets, personally I wouldn't have a reason to stop in again...
