I was blown away by East Coast Sports. I didn't have high expectations by a sporting goods store on…read morea resort island, but they carried everything imaginable for local recreational needs and prices were reasonable. I stopped by for an inexpensive cooler to carry some seafood home. They had the perfect cooler for only $5. The clerk was helpful and friendly. I looked at the surf supplies and another clerk immediately asked if I needed assistance. The fishing gear is unbelievable. And kayaks, they carry everything. I could have spent all day in there. They rent surf boards, paddle boards, bikes and sell fishing licenses and can even set up fishing charters. They are locally owned. They offer free parking. I'll be back on my next visit to Surf City.

This is an incredible find in Surf City…read more The amount of gear they have for fishing is beyond belief. Fishing is big business but in this area and this is a store to go to. I am a novice and was asking some questions about what would work and what is running and what type of equipment would I need to begin a new hobby, on the bays, shore fishing and maybe someday kayak fishing. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and I was impressed with the entirety of the store. They also have a large selection of clothing and hats upstairs. Good prices good time.

The whole store makes me feel how I used to feel when the Sears & Montgomery Wards Christmas catalogs arrived in the mailbox when I was a kid! When you go over to my favorite area though,the folks that man the counter & are working in the aisles are always commensurate professionals,attentive,willing to answer any queries & just generally friendly! That is a stark contrast to the big A in Jacksonville,in all aspects. It's well worth the trip,just don't think you'll get out of there in under an hr! Maybe some can do it but I just resign myself to it being a day trip,yup! It's that much fun!

A group of us decided to take an archery class. Boy have bows changed since I was a kid. I found…read morethe class to be very interesting. At first, after some instruction, I thought, no way, I can't do this. But with some encouragement I tried and didn't do so badly. The young lady Sam was very helpful and you can tell she knows her Archery. She was pleasant and really wanted us to feel comfortable and happy with our shots even if we did them poorly. The only negative thing I have is that she speaks so softly. So, either she has to have a louder voice, esp. with seniors or the shop has to turn down the music so we can hear her. Remember, some seniors can't hear. LOL The shop itself needs to put a fan in the shooting area or turn up the AC because it gets hot back there. It would be nice if water was available or whoever sets up the reservation is told to bring water. I am glad there were only five us. Anymore and it would have been uncomfortable. In total we were there about an hour and a half. Not bad for $20..We all agreed it was a good amount of time for first timers. Oh, the other thing to make sure the caller is told, and I don't know if this was done, but when we went in, our friend had open toe shoes on and that is a no, no. You must wear closed shoes.

I used to purchase single arrows to experiment with from a way larger store in PA, but they changed the policy to only dozen arrow sales. I was happy to find out that Extreme still sells single arrows. They might be a bit pricier, but it's worth it to experiment. If they don't have something you were looking for, they leave you a prompt voice message when it's back in stock. Outstanding customer service. Very reasonable minimum shipping, and a pretty good supply of basic items. I live too far away to comment on the in store experience but if I was in the area visiting, I would stop in. Happy Customer.

Not sure if it's even there anymore, but my brother and I took advantage of it for sure during some nights when our parents dropped us off and went shopping. They probably have the best selection on the island and have an awesome selection of surf and body board leashes. The only problem was the past time I went I wanted a wetsuit, but they were all sold out and hadn't ordered new stock with it being mid April. Understandable, but I was bummed that I couldn't give them my business.

I'm super grateful that it exists. This is a decently sized mall for the town. The mall has around 60 stores and kiosks combined. That's really good! I don't know what others are expecting? Sorry it doesn't have a Gucci store? On a good day when I feel like abusing my wallet, I only visit a quarter of the stores - GameStop, Torrid, and Hot Topic included on the list. The food options are meh, but most of the time I don't venture far from my chicken teriyaki samples and a pretzel. Restrooms are clean which is a huge thing for me! I can't stand a public space with dirty toilets! You get to walk around, see the sights, hang out with friends and family... It's a good, little mall. Give it a break.
