How about a magnet or a T-shirt that says "Welcome to (insert beach name here) Beach!" in garish colors? Or a coffee mug that says I heart (insert beach name here) Beach!" Then run on down to your local or the nearest Surf Styles! They have your "anything remotely beach related" needs. From 90 cent beach toys to $75.00 flip flops, overpriced tanning lotion to quirky cool cheap sunglasses, there is something for everyone here. I can spend hours of precious tanning time in this store milling about The stores are always located very near a beach. This particular one is in Gulport, Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico. They store is big and stocks everything. This one has a larger than average food/grocery section likely due to the area being decimated after Katrina. It was one of the first things built following Katrina, and it was a welcome sight. It's almost always a must do part of a trip to the beach when you haven't been in a while. The store has cool air conditioning, and tons of things for people to buy in any price range. You can take you kids in there, grab a couple t-shirts and a towel each and drop less than 30 a person. Each summer, we all go in Surf Styles to pick one of the big (giant) beach towels hanging on the wall. The only con is that they have no public restrooms, normally this is not an issue, but in an area like Gulfport with little existing infrastructure, this can be hard on people with kids. The employees are usually polite and the long, snaking lines move faster than you would expect. On Father's day and Mother's day they give away free gifts. That is a kind gesture. I like Surf Styles and still smile when I look at the little mementos I have acquired from each trip to the beach. I especially dig the bags they give you, they are reusable and are super convenient for follow up beach trips or even for Mardi Gras beads. Every time I see one on the parade route I smile and am reminded that my next trip to the beach is coming up!

We arrived and found where we were supposed to go on the beach real easy. Staff knew we were coming and what we were ready with paperwork and instructions for the jet skis. Once we signed all the necessary paperwork (as the staff members cracked jokes - and in general just had a good time being there) we waded out to the staff member that was going to give us our final instructions and set us off on our way. Large area to play in with the jet skis, probably about 4 football fields wide and 1/2 mile out you were able to explore and have fun. The only rule, don't get near each other (jet skis) because things can get out of hand real quick resulting in an accident. Jet skis were clean and fast, and a ton of fun. If you have kids, one thing to keep in mind, you have to be 18 in order to be a driver. Anyone under 18 rides double behind an adult. Friendly staff and great experience. I would highly recommend these guys if you're looking for a fun gulf adventure.

They have comfortable seating were you can sit and watch the skate board people practice. This is truly a wonderful concept store! Best wishes and I hope to see you when we return to GS in 2019.

For the ones that have no experience with it, we were quite scared. Some did not know how to swim, and some were afraid of the water. But after meeting Jeff, everyone's doubt eventually went away. He was one of the most friendliest, laid back instructor anyone can meet. Two of my friends originally backed out, but Jeff did some magic & made them feel comfortable that they both ended up finishing the paddle board session. We were proud of them, but thankful to Jeff for making them feel comfortable. And Jeff was so nice to help us take a group picture. We all took Uber to meet Jeff on the Bayou St. John, and the neighborhood was very peaceful and beautiful. There is no changing room, so make sure to wear appropriate attire. You can store your items at Jeff's SUV. And if you must run to the bathroom, there is a gas station very close by (a few steps away). It was quite cold when we were there for our 11:30 am session, but it eventually got warmer. If you can't swim, a life vest is offered. We all wore life vests, and not one of us fell into the bayou. Paddle boarding was very fun, and easy to learn. Thanks to Jeff for this wonderful experience. I am also offering my apologies for any inconvenience we gave him. Thanks for being patient with us. Highly recommended if you are visiting NOLA to give paddle boarding a try!
