This wonderful shop, located in the Corolla Historic Village, features gorgeous art, whimsical metal toys, brass telescopes and sextons, beautiful tin signs and fabulous furniture. On the first floor, you'll find a 1918 Ford Deluxe Surf Wagon! The second floor is an airy, dreamy room lined with bamboo - you'll want to stay for a cocktail at the bar made from a hot-air balloon basket! Everything is wonderful here but the prices are very steep - a few hundred to a few thousand for handcrafted artwork. The Surf Wagon is priced at $29,000. But even if that's out of your price range, it's still fun to browse - like touring an art museum of the great travels of yesteryear!

That said, it has pretty much any souvenir you could want to bring home from your trip to the Outer Banks available at fairly decent prices. I scored a few discount t-shirts on the rack they had outside that I'm pretty happy with. If you forgot any essentials like sunscreen or need to pick up bug spray or aloe, this spot won't soak you as much as others in Timbuck II.

They are similar to a surf shop with more variety...not just bathing suits and gear, but a lot of apparel (some of it pretty pricey, although good brands). They have men's, women's and kids, as well as jewelry and accessories. As a sunnies collector of sorts, I was pleased with the sunglasses selection in particular. They also seemed to have an assortment of sizes. My only complaint is that the staff didn't seem very friendly...more interested in talking to each other and checking their phones than interacting, but they were helpful enough when asked.
