If you’re like me, you love shopping for souvenirs on vacation, but you prefer to find local, one-of-a-kind treasures. Supporting local stores while traveling not only helps small business owners, but it also gives you a more meaningful connection to the place you’re visiting. Here are some of my favorite, local stores to get your souvenirs from while on vacation!
Clearwater Beach: Freaky Tiki Surf Shack on Mandalay Avenue and Frenchy's Off The Hook on Baymont Street.
Sand Key: Shoppes on Sand Key
Indian Rocks Beach: Nekton Surf Shop and Island Attitudes on Gluf Boulvard. Plus a small shop inside Grove Surf Cafe next to Nekton.
Indian Shores Beach: Indian Shores Trading and Shores Surf Shop on Gulf Boulevard.
