I was blown away by East Coast Sports. I didn't have high expectations by a sporting goods store on…read morea resort island, but they carried everything imaginable for local recreational needs and prices were reasonable. I stopped by for an inexpensive cooler to carry some seafood home. They had the perfect cooler for only $5. The clerk was helpful and friendly. I looked at the surf supplies and another clerk immediately asked if I needed assistance. The fishing gear is unbelievable. And kayaks, they carry everything. I could have spent all day in there. They rent surf boards, paddle boards, bikes and sell fishing licenses and can even set up fishing charters. They are locally owned. They offer free parking. I'll be back on my next visit to Surf City.

Awesome store has everything you could want plus things you didn't know you did best fishing gear…read moreselection

The whole store makes me feel how I used to feel when the Sears & Montgomery Wards Christmas catalogs arrived in the mailbox when I was a kid! When you go over to my favorite area though,the folks that man the counter & are working in the aisles are always commensurate professionals,attentive,willing to answer any queries & just generally friendly! That is a stark contrast to the big A in Jacksonville,in all aspects. It's well worth the trip,just don't think you'll get out of there in under an hr! Maybe some can do it but I just resign myself to it being a day trip,yup! It's that much fun!

A group of us decided to take an archery class. Boy have bows changed since I was a kid. I found…read morethe class to be very interesting. At first, after some instruction, I thought, no way, I can't do this. But with some encouragement I tried and didn't do so badly. The young lady Sam was very helpful and you can tell she knows her Archery. She was pleasant and really wanted us to feel comfortable and happy with our shots even if we did them poorly. The only negative thing I have is that she speaks so softly. So, either she has to have a louder voice, esp. with seniors or the shop has to turn down the music so we can hear her. Remember, some seniors can't hear. LOL The shop itself needs to put a fan in the shooting area or turn up the AC because it gets hot back there. It would be nice if water was available or whoever sets up the reservation is told to bring water. I am glad there were only five us. Anymore and it would have been uncomfortable. In total we were there about an hour and a half. Not bad for $20..We all agreed it was a good amount of time for first timers. Oh, the other thing to make sure the caller is told, and I don't know if this was done, but when we went in, our friend had open toe shoes on and that is a no, no. You must wear closed shoes.

Not sure if it's even there anymore, but my brother and I took advantage of it for sure during some nights when our parents dropped us off and went shopping. They probably have the best selection on the island and have an awesome selection of surf and body board leashes. The only problem was the past time I went I wanted a wetsuit, but they were all sold out and hadn't ordered new stock with it being mid April.

She loved them and put them on her shoe rack, time came to wear them and one shoe was size 8 (correct shoe size) and one shoe was size 10.
