I've been shopping here for over 27 years and buy so many nice clothes and shoes. I have also bought beach toys, gifts, and other items. The selection is the best quality. This is not a cheap t-shirt shop, and carries high end brands such at Tommy Bahama and LuluB. I highly recommend you stop by when you have some time to try things on and browse. read more

Everything! They have the best clothes, shoes, accessories, gifts and best of all service! The sales lady when we went was wonderful (forgive me, I can't recall her name)! We go there every time we come here! read more

Needless to say there are numerous souvenir stores around the island. This particular store does stand out from the pack. The quality of the clothing and other wares is a little better while staying within the same price range as those other stores. It is a lot smaller than most of those souvenir shops but quality wise, it really shines. The primary articles for sale in the shop is clothing and shoe wear. Lots of shoes and sandles! They also have windchimes, bags, hats, glassware, swimsuits, puzzles, games and books, but I did not see much in the way of inflatables. This establishment is worth checking out and the pictures below should peak your interest. read more

See all

A real gem great selection of man & women's clothes. The staff his helpful the merchandise is top shelf. A independent store featuring fine clothing. read more

This is the best place to get what you need: sunscreen, crocs, and special souvenirs that you won't find at every other place.

Was sick of all the "Junk" souvenir places. At IGA I found a flyer for Ship Shape & it had a 10% off coupon. It also said they had Crocs & I knew that meant it would be a little more classy. This place is amazing!!! So many cute products, I wanted it all. They staff was super nice & helpful. Recommend 10/10 read more

This is the BEST place to shop for souvenirs while in SPI. The clothing is high quality and priced to sell! Why spend $10 on a cheap t-shirt when you can spend a little bit more and get one that will last a lifetime! The owners were friendly and helpful and explained all the merchandise that was on sale. We'll definitely be back!! read more

They have a lot of quality clothing and shoes in this store. However, after coming here for 8 years, EVERYTIME we go in there they are so pushy and won't leave you alone it makes me rather spend my money elsewhere! read more

The staff are so friendly and attentive! They are independently own and have huge selection to chose from.

We had a great experience here! The staff greeted us immediately as we walked in and offered to help with whatever we needed. One gal spent a long time helping my husband find a pair of new flip flops, offering expert product advice about the brands. She also helped me find gifts for people back home, listening to me and offering good opinions. The prices are great and comparable to all the other chain beach shops, but you get the touch of true customer service here which you don't get at the other places. Coming from a retail background myself, I can tell that all the girls working there have had great training in customer service! I would definitely recommend this cute shop for people vacationing wanting high quality t shirts, clothing, affordable souvenirs, etc! Go here instead of the chains! Thanks Ship Shape! read more

Stopped in with my wife because another customer mentioned them when we were shopping elsewhere.... Greeted warmly upon arrival by both the clerks and the two owners. Didn't know us from Adam but treated us like old friends / and when we mentioned that we were looking for a certain brand, they went in the back and brought out new inventory that has just been delivered that morning. Finest retail experience we've both had in years. And guess what? We bought a lot of stuff. A lot. Nice to spend your hard earned money on quality merchandise sold by people who are truly grateful for your business. If you are on SPI - stop by and have a rich retail experience that has all but disappeared elsewhere. Highly recommended...! read more

My wife and I were looking for t-shirts and souvenirs during our recent visit to SPI and saw this shop on Google. Great selection of quality t-shirts at reasonable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Talked with the owner while shopping and she directed me to some nice SPI and Life is Good shirts. read more

This is the ONLY store (and I tried quite a few of them on the island) where I found a white, cotton, short-sleeve, casual shirt in the XL size. And it was reasonably priced! So many stores seem to carry only polyster. Why? Why!? read more

We are locals, and we LOVE Ship Shape. They are the first stop we make when looking for gifts. The owners Liz and Diane are great and make everyone feel so welcomed. They carry everything from inexpensive South Padre Island souvenirs and toys to high-end jewelry, shoes/sandals, and clothing! And they have a passion for the island. Head on North to find them. You'll be glad you stopped by. read more

I stopped in because I read in some tourist brochure that they sold Life is Good products. They happened to be having a sale, and everyone was super nice. I am glad that I went in. They have a large selection of clothing, accessories, shoes, and all kinds of other knicky knacky stuff. read more

Very friendly staff. Good quality products for all ages. Clothes, books, and gifts

Fun shop & found the best candle line, Lil' Flickers. My sister bought one to freshen our hotel room. Not only did it do the job, it filled up the hallway. People in neighboring rooms asked what we had. Went back to take several candles home!! read more
