Shopping

Aside from being a respite from the work-a-day world, a vacation is all about sharing new experiences and savoring the memories we make...which is why souvenirs and keepsakes are so important. They help us remember, relive, and share our adventures, large and small.

While we all love collecting shells and fossilized shark teeth to treasure and share, there's no substitute for carefully chosen mementos and gifts. 

Whether it's an original work of art from a gallery, an accessory, whimsical bauble, a t-shirt from a cute little shop, or a box (or three) of gorgeous hand-crafted chocolates from a local spot, you'll find plenty of items that both recall your special time here and let the people you love know you were thinking of them while you were away.
