Kelp Goods

Holy mother of beach items and clothing!…read more We stopped in at this store while visiting Old Orchard Beach and have to say that it was both captivating and overwhelming all at once. This store is massive, has everything you need for a day at the beach as well as for any other activity you may be doing at Old Orchard. The prices here are decent and the quality is average, but the staff here is a bit intense and being followed through the shop was a bit uncomfortable. The only reason this didn't offend us was because everyone was being tracked while in the shop... talk about paranoid.

Don't waste your time. Plenty of other beach shops in the area with prices that are decent…read more This was the rudest staff ever. The store is cramped and narrow and creepy men follow you around staring. We left extremely uncomfortable and observed the same from other customers. They also hover around the changing rooms. Absolutely disgusting.

They also have other popular stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Nike, and Boss. The outlets are the place to go for the best deals. For the negatives, the food court is pretty sad, it only has a coffee shop, a pizza restaurant, and chicken restaurant, and a small Indian restaurant. We got food from the chicken restaurant and it was disappointing. Also, it was a hot day and there's not too much shade besides going into the stores or the food court.

Kelp is easily my favorite spot to go to in OOB. They have the best selection of reasonably priced clothes, gifts, home goods, and they even have a charm bar in the back of the store! They're also pet friendly! We always bring our sweet pup in the store and he loves all the special attention he gets while visiting Kelp I always experience top notch customer service when I visit. The owners of the store are hard working, kind, and put their heart and souls into not only providing an excellent shopping experience, but they invest in their community as well! They are truly a gift to OOB. The cherry on top is that they are directly connected their sister shop, Cafe 64. The cafe is hands down the best spot in OOB for breakfast/lunch. Snag some great food, pastries, and coffee while you shop around Kelp. I honestly can't think of a better way to start the day! Make sure you check out Kelp AND Cafe 64 during your trip to OOB! You won't be disappointed! read more

My favorite OOB shop!! They have the best gifts, jewelry, cutest clothes, hand bags and, much much more!! They have wicked cute bathing suits for reasonable prices. Also feature clothing items that say - Maine, Salty or, LOBSTA (My fave). The fabric/quality of clothing items are super soft and comfy. I have bought several rings, necklaces, earrings and non of them have tarnished or broke. The quality of the items at Kelp are top notch! Sam (owner) is the sweetest soul and her employees are all super helpful! The charm bar in the back of the store is adorable! Great for parties as well! My mom and I made super cute coastal themed bracelets and necklaces! The charm bar is reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend checking this out!! Overall, Kelp is amazing and the vibe/atmosphere is warm and inviting! Can find something for everyone. I recommend this shop for anyone visiting OOB! Definitely need to check it out if you havent been! :) read more

We visited Kelp during a vacation to OOB last summer!! Super cute, beautifully decorated and merchandised. The owners are delightful and it's connected to the yummiest little cafe where we came back everyday for breakfast (and lunch!) during our stay. I wish I had taken more photos, it has "Anthropology" vibes but sooo much better bc the shop is filled with locally sourced and one of a kind gifts and clothes and trinkets, everything is curated by one of the owners and her taste is so whimsical and well rounded. I was able to find gifts for all my people's and they have goodies at all kinds of price points. The staff were really sweet and helpful as well. Can't wait to be back in OOB and shop at Kelp again!!! read more

From the second you walk into kelp you can just FEEL the energy. Between the charm bar, massive moss wall, the staff, and the merchandise - it is just perfect!! It's pretty amazing to walk in there and there really is something to look at in every corner. Each table is perfectly curated to match the vibe and you can tell how much thought and effort came into this place curating kelp. As a local, it's been so great to see another great place added in old orchard. The owners are some of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met. It's been amazing to see their once sketched out plan become real life!! If you are coming to old orchard you need to check out this spot (and cafe 64 ) read more

Kelp is literally the cutest, most charming little shop in the heart of OOB. When I visited, I met the owner Sam, who brought her whimsical/surfy/free-spirited energy from the west coast to share with the east coast! If you're looking for a cute gift, a new fit, a vacay souvenir, etc, Kelp is THEEEE place!! There is something for everyone here. Honestly, good luck not buying everything in the store. If I lived here I'd be broke. LOVE KELP!!!!! 100 stars! PS check out Cafe 64 next door for the best coffee and breakfast in OOB read more
