Equally unique as the almost black sided exterior is the warm and rich wood tones of the interior. A lot of stores on the pedestrian-friendly Washington Street Mall blur together in my head but this shop was very memorable. Aside from the fabulous exterior and interior, I really liked the staff! They were welcoming and friendly, very laid back and conversational but not over-bearing or pushy. That is totally the way to do it. Kinda like you're just having conversation at a cocktail party. A lot of the merchandise sold at Quirk & Co is made by local artisans and other merchandise is proudly made in the USA. They have an awesome collection of candles, jewelry, scarves, tote bags, mugs, pillows and such. I also think I saw some cool vintage painted furniture. Animal lovers and those looking for some Cape May memorabilia will find some good stuff here too. Overall a great little shop with terrific staff!

The selection of beaded bracelets are nice but there are also latch bracelets that caught my eye for again how stylish they are but also it's unique look. I've never seen any that looked like this. So of course I got one. Among the rest of the store, like many of the other shops in the area, unique things can be found for yourself or if you're looking to pick up gifts on your travels. Clothes, humor books, house décor as well as a yard including a single person swinging hammock. There is a nice assortment of things crammed into Madame's Port. Check it out if you find yourself here, and see what you might find.

I walked in with my rambunctious 2 yr old and the owner was so nice. She tried to keep my daughter occupied while I shopped, letting her try on backpacks and play with toys. It has a unique selection of merchandise. The other children's boutique in the area, Lynn Arden, carries very traditional baby wear. This place has a lot of organic and definitely "funkier" clothes. They carry stuff that is made with organic materials and also locally made goods. I will be sure to return next time I am in the area.

Note: the "mall" is outdoors, a brick paved plaza stretching along multiple blocks - a result of reclaimed former street space. I smelled the wonderful scents before I saw the store. It's on the lower level of a historic building. You access via stone steps, descending partly below the street level. Inside is a treasure trove of delightful bath and body product, mostly from APOE. There are other maker products there, such as my favorite Tokyomilk perfumes, and there are comfy fluffy bathrobes and such. Staff were wonderful. I was able to pick up an excess monthly subscription box of their products, which I was super happy about. Definitely worth the trip to downtown.

This is my second year visiting Boutique at the Beach and while last year I found many more items…read moreto purchase, as did my mom, I was still happy with what I found. I spent about $180 on 4 sale bras, a camisole, a leather fall top, and a pair of casual summer pants in a funky print. The bras I purchased last year, also on sale, have become my favorites so I was looking to add more. At this time of year all the jewelry is 50% off as are many other items. They carry some new fall and winter items as well as plenty of after season summer outfits, from mix and match from an Italian company, to mother/daughter bathing suits, short shorts and long trendy jeans. I visited California this summer and many of the items have a distinctly California coast vibe to them. One lady was shopping for a long dress and she looked good in at least two of the ones she modelled, all on sale for 50% off. Last year my mom purchased a number of the Italian one size outfits and was looking to add pieces to them, but the sizing this year was smaller than last year. The proprietor told us many people had trouble with the sizing this year which may account for why she had more left than one would want end of season. I find the items to be affordable for a bit higher end beach wear especially at off season. The proprietor knows her merchandise and is very helpful with questions about fit and quality. I know all of the items I purchased last year became wardrobe favorites, and I was slightly disappointed not to find the same number items I really wanted to take home. Never the less we may make one more stop before the week is out. I would say the clothing and accessories are mid priced for a beach town, different than you find in other stores, a bit beach trendy and would appeal to a mature buyer for some items and a younger buyer interested in California style beach wear. Let me say it is further up 3rd Ave than most of the shops so you can miss it, but there is convenient parking and worth a visit if you are shopping in the area.

I purchased 14 items on my first shopping trip there- I couldn't stop! I will definitely be a frequent customer and stop by often to make some additions to my wardrobe! Thanks for such a cute shop!
