This place is huge.... And it was overwhelming. You can park on either side of the store as it is located between the north and south one way stretches of the highway. It has a little bit of everything -- more jewelry and clothes and souvenirs than shells. How they can keep track of the inventory is daunting. Some of the prices are exceedingly high, but I guess it's cause it is a tourist area and they can get away with it. People on vacation are willing to pay more and the international tourists don't know any better. Yet, mixed in are some decent buys like the key lime juice and the Tortuga rum cakes and some cheapie bracelets. I walked the entire store -- it's about a block long with several check out counters. I got my exercise for the day. I'm not sure I'd recommend this place but you never know. You can certainly price check items to see how they stack up against other stores or you might just find the perfect souvenir of your trip. read more

Finally stopped here to check it out after driving by for years on the way to the keys. Tins of souvenirs. Shirts on average were about $32.99. A little high in my opinion. They have some cool shells. We ended up buying a conch shell after all these years in Florida. $19.99. Rang out quickly and were on our way. read more

Was looking for jellycats in keys while on vacation. Saw Shell World on the jellycat website as a reseller and we went en route to dinner. Omg not only did they have an amazing assortment of jellycats- including the current in season ones, but they had clothes and souvenirs, and home stuff and accessories. I could have spent half a day in here. The kids selection of toys and stuffies was impressive! The bathing suit coverups were so chic and the keychains and random touristy items was plenty. Kind of also like a craft bazaar too. I wish we went earlier as it closed at 7pm. Reminded me of multiple cute boutiques and a hallmark in one. Nothing like it nowadays to compare it. It was all so clean and the merchandising was classy and I wanted to buy it all! read more

So many items to choose from! We stopped here for specific shells for a Halloween costume. We found the shells we wanted pretty quickly and then walked through the rest of the shop. It's much larger than we anticipated. They have plenty of gifts, souvenirs, shells, books, clothing, and more. Restrooms and check-out counters are available at both ends of the building. Employees are friendly. Overall, good place to stop at if you need shells and souvenirs! read more

They sell literally everything you would find on the ocean and more. They had a friendly yet not so knowledgeable staff however it was very clean and super organized. it was a decent value considering it's a tourist trap. However, as soon as you enter, Key West is not a bad place to stop Or on the way out. Might even be better. But the place is gigantic so don't feel overwhelmed. read more

Our family loves Shell World. Whether we stop in on our first day in the keys or on the way home we never miss an opportunity to check them out. We love seeing and buying beautiful shells. My kids love their kid area. I've gotten some amazing hooded rash guards here. So many great things. Don't miss an opportunity to pick up a bottle of Inis perfume. It's a signature sent of the keys. You can find a knick knack or two at any price point here. read more

I made my husband stop here to check out this HUGE store. So happy we stopped! Not only does this store have tons of different shells, they also have special Keys gifts for most everyone. There's a home section, kids section, clothing, flip flops, food, and much more! It's HUGE! Customer service was great and prices are not as high as most other places we stopped at. Recommended! read more

As an avid shell collector I just can't resist stopping in these roadside souvenir shops and although there are tons of shells here there's definitely more, lots more. This ginormous everything tourist venue is filled with all those last minute gotta have it trinkets and nic nacs - for me it's my shell therapy one stop shopping center, although I rarely buy shells since I live by the ocean I do love to look at what nature has created and they almost always have penny smashing machines - maybe that my obsession combined with an irresistible urge for refrigerator magnets. Can you imagine fulfilling three of your compulsions in one place, that's a good day, the only thing missing here is a beer cooler, adirondack chair and an umbrella but no matter I still won the triple crown. To say this is a bargain outlet would be a lie, but I will say there are some bargains here if you can manage your emotions and look for them, although it's not an easy task with the massive inventory on display here but they do exist. I smashed (2) pennies for $1.02 and scored a cool refrigerator magnet for $4.99 and since the Keys aren't known for their shorelines filled with seashells and this place sells seashells by the seashore I may have to return to purchase a few. If your looking for that special gift for Aunt Martha there are lots of choices, heck you can buy sand here - now that's hilarious to me since I have to bang the sand off my flip flops before getting in the Jeep in their parking lot. I knew this place was high gross before walking through the double doors and through the theft protection equipment at the main entrance but who doesn't love an adventure - at any price... read more

I'm going to be honest, me and my sister were really excited to come and check out some of the stuffed animals they have here. Upon arrival we walk in and there are 3 of the store associate at the register just standing around. Not like that's a problem but usually when you go into a high priced gift shop like this one, especially if you intend on spending money you would at the very least expect to be greeted when you walk in. It was extremely awkward since I walked in first waiting for my sister to get out the car, as I'm standing by the entrance on the inside waiting i was met with dead silence & awkward looks. I work and live here in the keys so I know from experience that, that is not the type of atmosphere we have down here. I'm not sure if it is because of their age or lack of common sense in the customer service industry but i was very displeased since I had been excited to visit this gift shop for a while. I highly suggest either finding new workers or giving them just the BASIC training in customer service, hell just tell them smile and wave or something ! The place is extremely expensive & when met with that attitude at the door, completely throws off the whole experience. Definitely won't be spending any money there nor would I ever send any friends there to shop. If anything I would HIGHLY SUGGEST THEY STAY AWAY!!! read more

Fun touristy gift shop- a lot of shells! Found some mother of pearl spoons to take home, along with other fun goodies. Probably a bit overpriced, but they have a large selection of items. read more

Extremely touristy! But it's well organized, spotless, and appeared to have plenty of staff, although no one asked if I needed help at all. It's on the pricier side of souvenir shops, and they have some pretty unique items. I bought a few stickers for my beer fridge, and a cute tye die dress. read more

Shell World, Shell World, party time, excellent!! Quintessential Keys merch retailer with easy parking north or southbound. We love Shell World and any trip to the Keys without them wouldn't be the same. Maybe it's for the kitschy photo ops out front or the bathrooms, or the many really, really cool shells available for sale, or the clearance in the back, or the cooler of frozen key lime pie on a stick or just about anything all things Keys. lol read more

As touristy as can be. This massive gift shop is a must-do if you are traveling in or out of the Keys. It has a large inventory from apparel to Florida food items, from home décor to seashells. It might be a tad pricey, but it is worth it because of the location and convenience. I like coming here to just browse around and I always end up buying a few little trinkets. They have pretty cool merchandise. BTW, the mermaid section is my favorite. There is a clearance section way in the back, which is very easy to miss. 4 stars. read more

Shells, shells and more shells. This is shell heaven for the ocean enthusiasts. It was so lovely to see all of the majestic coral reefs and rare preserved underwater seashells. There were all sorts of products to purchase, from clothes to body scrubs. As a wonderful product placement, they have the Florida Sea Scrub tester in the bathroom for you to try. Hook, line and sink. I bought the $30 extra-large bottle, which was coconut mango scented. This product is something that I would highly recommend everyone to buy. It heals mosquito bites and many other ailments. Best price and largest bottle that I saw through all of the Keys. If you are traveling through the tropical Key Islands, stop by this perfect spot. read more

(4.5 stars) Shell World has souvenirs for days. I purchased t-shirts, a hat, shot glasses and jewelry. I was highly impressed with the quality of customer service provided by one of the employees. She went above and beyond, by assisting me with matching a ring and pendant from the cased jewelry. 1/2 a star taken, because none of the employees could find their selection of pens. Hubby is a pen guy. If he purchases nothing else, I guarantee you, he'll buy a pen or two or three (smile). read more

This is such a great store for Keysey, beachy stuff and anything souveneiry. It's totally a touristy spot, but they have genuinely cute mermaid/tropical/nautical themed stuff all around the store. Perfect for any beach house decor you might want. There's a huge apparel section with t-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, swimsuits, hats, coverups, and more. Their stuff was cute and decently affordable. They've also got a huge selection of -- yes, you guessed it, shells. Store was huge and still very clean and organized. Service was friendly. Ask for the local discount -- 10%. read more
