My wife and I stopped at On The Beach looking for an xl or 2xl swim shirt for me. Xl at other beach…read moreshops was more like a child's xl. On The Beach carries Patagonia which was exactly what I was looking for. The staff were young but knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I really like this shop and their selection of merchandise - completely different from the big chain beach shop. We plan to stop back. BTW: The Patagonia shirt is a long sleeve SPF 50 that feels great in the hot sun or in the surf. Thanks to the staff at On The Beach. -Scott, Cincinnati, OH

I was pretty impressed the moment I walked through the door by the fact that this is not just a…read moresouvenir store. This place has some serious beach and surfing equipment along with skateboards. Yes they have tons of clothing, hats, shoes, eyewear and swimsuits. It's not a huge store,but they definitely pack in some good surfing gear. Only thing I found conspicuously absent was anything to do with fishing. They do have six dressing rooms for you to use. Definitely a good spot to check out if you're into surfing.

This unique boutique store is located directly on Padre Island Boulevard. I was told this business…read morehas been around for about 36 years. So then my first thought was, why am I the first one to write a Yelp review? In order to gain entrance you have to ring the bell and a nice older lady will come and unlock the door for you. Once inside you see a mix of wooden, metal and ceramic artworks. They also have handbags, swimsuits, some glassware and jewelry items. It struck me that this store seemed a little out of place, as if it belonged more in the area of the Woodlands near Houston, as opposed to the more pedestrian crowd on the island. The prices were a little on the high side, but nothing really too outrageous. The pictures tell the rest of the story.

We walked out not buying anything. We walked into ocean motion and Gus greater us with a huge smile and told us the cost of all the shirts and that to put any print on the shirts was free. He was so funny and helpful. We walked out of there purchasing a lot of shirts! Because of Gus we will visit that store every time we go to South Padre Island! The owner of the store was kind and helpful as well. Literally everyone who worked there wanted to help in any way they could!! Thank you Gus for being such an amazing person!

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.

Needless to say there are numerous souvenir stores around the island. This particular store does…read morestand 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.

I stopped into Bay Quest Souvenir Shop expecting to browse and shop, but unfortunately the…read moreinteraction with one employee made me very uncomfortable. She followed me around the store and, on two separate occasions, came up to me and said, "We're short staffed." I genuinely wasn't sure what she meant by that. The impression I got was that she didn't want me touching or looking through the shirts. After the second time, I finally asked, "Are you offering me a job?" She immediately backtracked with, "No, no, that's not what I meant..." but I still never really understood what she was trying to communicate. What bothered me most was that I didn't see her treating the other customers that way. I spoke with the manager before leaving, and she said she would address it, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the experience left a bad enough impression that I won't be returning. There are plenty of other souvenir shops on the island where I can browse without feeling like I'm being monitored. Port Isabe/SPl has too many great places to shop to spend my vacation dollars somewhere I don't feel welcome.
