From the front, you wouldn't know this shopping center contains lots of neat specialty stores. There are some good restaurants and bars also. Walk in and explore. You will enjoy it.

Nice outdoor mall with lots of little shops, mostly beach souvenir style stuff, but also some hidden gems with unique local artisan craft goods. No public bathrooms in any store - so if you, or the kids you're with need to use a bathroom, head to Food Lion. Among the highlights for us was Nelly's Gifts, with their HUGE selection of uniquely flavored fresh fudge hidden among the typical beach tchotchke - you MUST try this fudge! Also, be sure to stop into Emerald Isle Books & Toys - what a hidden GEM of a store. It is HUGE inside. The wooden deck-style walk paths that wind through the store are a cool touch, while the shelves seem to go on and on and on. Unique toys and puzzles mixed in with some classics. Also a cool selection of kites and wooden puzzles. Then there's all the books! Tons of them! You have to see this store! Finally, be sure to stop in at Briggs General Store - lots of North Carolina artisan food products that are amazing! We tried their apple butter, and the bourbon infused local wildflower honey - both of which we're GREAT! Talked with the owners for a few minutes and they were more than happy to tell us about all their cool local food stuffs. Parking wasn't too bad early in the day, but when we returned in the afternoon, we had to circle a few times before something opened up. Overall, a great way to spend a few hours relaxing with the family.
