Full of Treasures
Cute shop full of little treasures. We’ve been coming down to Treasure Island for years, but this is the first time we stopped in. I don’t know why it took us so long to find such a unique little place right on gulf blvd. If you’re looking for something a little different or in need a break from the sun, this is a great stop!

If you love shells, this shop is a must.
Upside: This shop has be accused of being too touristy--while the owner is accommodating to the large tourist industry, he has a wonderful selection of shells, star fish and ocean animals for nerds like me and my daughter who love natural history. Also, this would be an awesome shop for young buyers, as they can purchase small treasures for as little as 25 cents. I did notice that the owner pulled out some speciality shells for customers who asked for them. His prices are very fair, much better than other shell shops. Also, his shop is clean and organized well. It feels small because it is packed, but has has quite a large stock of interesting items. Downside: Packed with people! It's busy for good reason, but when you enter be prepared to wait for others before you get over to that special thing you have to see. Also, when I asked the owner some questions, he was a little condescending. He was checking other people out and my questions may have been asked at the wrong time? Middleside: Others complain of parking, we found a spot with no problem. But if you're worried about COVID-19 you might want to wait to visit when the parking lot is empty signifying that the store will hopefully be less busy.

Unique and quaint shop
Very nice shop for unique items and little treasures. The shells are beautiful and more reasonably priced then I expected. There are also little quaint gift shop souvenir items to purchase and send to friends and family.
