Parrot Bay

Lovely items and I wanted to purchase but was spoken to very rudely to by an employee. I get it, it's busy season but careful how you act. Ladies are never rude in the south, especially to paying customers.

Bottom Line: A large store with some nicer clothing and lots of typical beach souvenirs.Most of this store is beach souvenirs (screen printer tshirts, magnets of lighthouses, OBX coffee cups, and ornaments made in China) but they do have some nicer clothing brands like Lily Pulitzer and some local brands like fish Hippie. Also, they have a lot of Yeti products and Tervis cups. Another good find here is the Sun Bum sunscreen line which is the best sunscreen in the world according to my fair-skinned sister. The store is bright, large and well organized with some cute displays.

Based on my experience with going to the other local gift/souvenir shops, I wouldn't have purchased anything here had I known what you could get at other places. I'm not sure why this place is rated so much better than the others in the area. Although everything was very neat and organized, the sizing was extremely limited. Every time I saw something I liked, they only had that item in one size. They sell a lot of gifts as far as clothing with cute phrasing or pictures, probably just as much as items that say Outer Banks/NC. I wanted to get something small like a key chain or magnet for my niece but they literally don't sell anything like that. I spent $38 for two adult shirts and a kids shirt. The other store I went in had three shirts for TEN dollars. Obviously I can't speak for the quality but I could've gotten a bunch of other stuff for less.

Great selection and decent prices!! They have basically everything a beach shop should have and more. Name brand clothing, nice shoes, customized things, I definitely recommend this shop!

Great selection of shirts, gifts etc. Shirts were all high quality material, not cheap. Will return!

First time coming in here. Stumbled upon it on the internet when I searched "where to buy simply southern shirts in obx" and it had pretty good reviews so I gave it a shot. First thing you see when you walk in is their simply southern collection & I was immediately in heaven. All of the designs were so cute it was hard to pick just one to buy (self control ftw) They also give a military discount of 10% so that was a good bonus! Definitely will add this to the list of stops to make when in the OBX!

We visit this store every time we come to the beach. Great place for nice T-shirts, bags, beach clothes and jewelry. They carry a lot of the Simply Southern brand, and the other popular brands.

A classy shop, with a wide variety of gifts, OBX clothing, and other niche clothing. We spent a bit of time enjoying the wide selection and quality choices. Cashier was super friendly and helpful, engaging and witty. The rest of the staff was neither friendly or unfriendly based as each of the floor staff walked past us dozen times and did not care to ask if we needed help. Can we get a greeting? Prices were average. Displays were a bit cramped. We do recommend as a nice place to shop, especially if you can do it without any assistance. Lots of sarcasm in this post, don't let it discourage you from visiting this store!

i was here today, they had a lot of nice sweaters. and foot wear for the beach. they got a lot of new merchendice, because employees were unloading boxes. this place sells some really nice things, so i would love to see what was in those boxes. i used to buy my pirate things here. i have quite a collection. unfortunately i didnt see any pirate things. but i did see some very nice things. they had some nice glasses and outer banks cups. the staff was vary nice and helpful. stores like this gives the outer banks a good name.

Upper end beach selection with fair, comparable prices and friendly service. A bit small and always busy but still worth it.
