Second Time Around

The best thrift store in Port Aransas. Friendliest and most helpful volunteers. Please return the nice bags they send with you with donations of your own or leave a few extra dollars if you can. Thank youChristi Lenamon Watkins

This thrift shop is a little tricky to find because it basically is an extension of the Trinity by the Sea Episcopal Church. It sits in a single wide trailer about the size of an efficiency apartment. They are only open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at different hours (Check the photo below). The primary thing you'll find here is clothing, and some knickknacks, but not a whole lot else. Their prices hover around Goodwill pricing. However, the selection is rather anemic as they depend on local donations, as opposed to buying from estate sales or abandoned storage units. One thing you also need to be informed about is that they do not take credit cards, cash only! Nonetheless, if you're in to thrift stores, you may find something of interest here.

I'm unsure why someone would leave a low review for a non profit thrift store that also has volunteers... aside from that!! I'm from Spring Branch, TX and found some super cute items at a low cost. Definitely much cheaper than goodwill as prices there currently are sometimes similar to Walmart. The ladies there were super welcoming and loved that my kids all came in. The ladies even recommended clothing in my size and something for my young son. I'll be coming back each trip! Thank you ladies!!

This thrift shop is operated by volunteers from Trinity by the Sea Episcopal Church. The building sits just to the left of the church. It's not a big shop, but it's clean, well-organized, the ladies that run it are super nice, and the money is donated to various charities. Mainly clothes, toys and household items....
