Add to it the employees are obnoxiously rude, from the creepy guy that kept creeping to the girl out front who refused to move to allow us through, so we had to step into parking to walk back around. Absolute rubbish.

This Alvin's Island is located on the west end of Panama City Beach and is attached to Splash…read moreResort. It is your standard Alvin's location, so if you have been to one, you have been to them all. This location is convenient for those who are staying beyond the 79 curve on the west end, and that is the exact reason that I have popped in on multiple occasions. The selection of clothing, souvenirs, beach goods, toys, sunscreen, tchotchkes and more is impressive and overwhelming honestly. While they have a good selection and they have a few sections of name brand items, majority of their items are lower quality, so set your expectations appropriately. Returns are usually pretty difficult at these spots, so again...be mindful. Service is usually okay and fairly transactional. Never friendly, but never awful. Overall, Alvin's Island is a solid spot to pick up those last minute items you need for a good beach day or for those souvenirs to take home to the family.

WARNING: This place takes cash off of a credit/debit card used in their store after you leave. I…read morewatched the foreign guy who works there watch my 16 year old daughter enter her pin to a debit card her dad gave her for her trip. The next day When she tried to use the card it was declined. After checking the activity on the card a charge for CASH was on the card from this store 2 hrs after we left the store leaving only $1.91 on my daughters card. He took the rest of my daughters only "spending money" she had for her trip. This place is crooked and steals from their customers! Such a low class business for such a beautiful higher class area. Check other reviews on other sites. I'm not the only one complaining about these crooks! Nor am I the only person who call them crooks! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

We took it back to show them and they wouldn't even do an exchange even though we had just bought it. The owner is rude and won't smile or say hi. Some of there t-shirt signs had the wrong price and they wouldn't honor it. Go somewhere else for friendly, honest service.

It's a classic little beach shop, packed wall-to-wall with colorful gear and fun finds for tourists. The prices were a bit on the higher side, which is expected for a beachside store, and it was a bit cramped inside. That said, the staff was polite and we were in and out quickly with what we needed. A decent stop if you're staying nearby and don't want to drive far for essentials.
