The area has mini-malls, shopping neighborhoods and several good-size shopping centers with some of the major chain stores people are used to. This combination affords you plenty of places to find what you need and want. Since the Crystal Coast is considered a resort area, you'll find dozens of shops that cater to the beachgoer or surfer. Whether you're looking for a beach souvenir, a gift for someone back home, the perfect-fitting swimsuit, a special T-shirt or a beach wrap, you'll find it here. If you need clothing or equipment for your favorite summer sport, you will find many brands of outdoor clothes and sports equipment to choose from — everything from golf apparel and hunting wear to surfboards and kayaks. Be aware, however, that many area shops close or shorten their hours during the winter, so call first to make sure the store you want to visit is open. We have designed this
section to give you a brief look at some of the retail businesses in
each Crystal Coast community. Antiques shops are listed separately at
the end of this chapter. With such an array to choose from, we can't
mention every shop that warrants your attention, so be sure to explore
on your own. And, as always, if you're in need of help, other Insiders
will be delighted to share information with you.

When
you've had enough of the sand, sun and surf (if that's even possible) or
if the weather just isn't cooperating, have no fear — there's always
shopping. In fact, many Crystal Coast visitors enjoy the shopping as
much as the beach. While the area does not have a large shopping mall,
it does have a variety of shopping centers featuring anchor stores and
individually owned stores, boutiques and specialty shops. You will find
a little of everything — from the necessities to the luxuries and
everything in between.
