Souvenir City

Every beach needs a place like Souvenir City. Of course, you can get your beach kitsch, but there are also clothes for the whole family and fun souvenirs to take home. The main attraction is the giant shark mouth you get to walk through in order to enter the building. It is a great photo op for the family. If you think the shark is cool, you need to see the pirate ship around the back.

Kids always have to stop at the shark store. Trying to social distance AND get a good parking space? Go early in the morning as soon as they open. We went in July and were one of very few families in there. Also, found out this year that July 1st is Souvenir City Day. Enjoyed the display that had some of the history of the store.7/21/23 There is just so much stuff here! We usually have a custom airbrushed shirt made for the kids each year. Show up for this earlier in the week so there is plenty of time for it to be made and picked up before you leave town. We have enough old shirts to make a t-shirt quilt now. LOL Of course, you have to get the pic in front of the shark entrance, and of the pirate ship on the back side of the store. On another note though, seriously, don’t mess around with skin cancer. Pick up sunscreen, hats, and long sleeve shirts. They have a lot to choose from here.

This a fun place with lots of souvenirs n and many beach necessities. Has a great array of sun hats, we find just the right ones. Prices are reasonable, too. The shark on the front is a fun gimmick.

They have souvenirs for every interest! It is always busy there and limited parking in front but there is additional parking in the back and a neat pirate ship facade to take pictures with. Reasonable prices for souvenirs.

The everything beach souvenir super store!!! Seriously, they have an overwelming amount of everything you can imagine including an in house air brush shop. What beach vacation is complete without an air brushed t-shirt letting everyone know where you went?

The supercenter of all souvenirs! You could spend all day here and STILL not see everything they have in this store! We had such a great time shopping and looking around. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Very clean restrooms as well!

Ah, what can you say about a souvenir shop in a tourist town? Prices were robust, to say the least! However, we did buy a plain t-shirt here and later found the same shirt at Walmart and it was higher priced! Wow! Be careful and watch the prices wherever you shop, especially if you are on a budget. We did not have money to spare, so we had to let some things go that we wanted.

A great store, with some really unique pieces, as well as the usual, fun kitschy stuff. Love the glass melted over driftwood! Good selection of collected shells, though rarely with country of origin listed.However, the offering of hermit crabs is about as abysmal as you would expect. The area should not have a smell at all, except maybe for the salt water you mix up yourself. Painted shells can be literally deadly, even if the paint doesn’t chip off and they digest it, though that is the usual way. These crabs will probably be dead within a month of getting home, and you’ll be left with a heartbroken child. Get one from a reputable exotic breeder instead—you won’t be spending very much more, and you’ll get a pet that lives for years.

This place was WAY crowded, and not just with people, but with stuff. You can definitely find anything you want to get from here as far as souvenirs go. You can even get home decor items, toys, candy, clothes, jewelry, hermit crabs... You name it, they probably have it.

The best stop for souvenirs. Way better selection than the business next door or down the street, not naming other businesses

Kind of cluttered and lots of items out of stock. I always stop in when I'm here and wish the prices were just a little bit better. Such a core memory place!

Super busy place but they gave TONS of souvenirs to purchase. The only negative is parking lot is small and horrible to navigate. They make custom shirts on site so it's an added bonus

Great place if you are looking for some souvenirs on your trip. They have a nice shirt and she’ll section along with lots of other fun items. They can be slightly pricy when it comes to certain items tho.

Very good store. They have just about anything you can dream of. Shirts to house decorations to shoes to kids toys. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The artwork on the wall is great the kids love it. There is also photo booths inside as well.

I believe this is the largest gift shop in Gulf Shores. Probably the most attractive too with the giant shark out front and the huge pirate ship in the back!The selection is massive. Shirts, household decorations, candy, jewelry, toys, and so much more. If you hunt for long enough you can actually find some items on clearance. If you're like me you'll want to buy everything in there so choose wisely!The only negatives are the parking and having to maneuver through other people. Other than that, it's a place worth checking out while you're in Gulf Shores.

It is just as advertised: A place to get Gulf Shores themed goods, wares and trinkets (some better than others). You can get it all, from A to Z; ashtrays to zebra print covers, "Anna" personalized pencils to zip ties, alligator claws to other zoological oddities.All in all, a fun way to spend 30 minutes and come home with a magnet or hermit crab to remember your trip.

Found better prices at other places in the same area but they did have a large selection and it smelled amazing in the store!

This place was awesome. It had basically everything. They had really funny shirts and hats. If you are looking for a good souvenir to get a friend for back home... This is the place to go. There is also candy here that you can get if you want. The entryway was pretty cool too. They did a great job with this place and I would totally go here again soon!!

FUN! A truly classic nostalgic souvenir shop. Lots of inventory, fudge shop/counter, air brush T-shirt counter. We had a lot of fun shopping here and finding some gifts and treats. Definitely check it out.
