Surf Style

Everything you need for the beach; towels, flip flps, hats, visors, sun glasses, bathing suits, sun screen, chairs, umbrellas, snacks and even beer. This place has it all. A great place to get souvenirs as well (plenty of those too). Conveniently located across the street from the Gulf of Mexico!

Great prices and everything one would need for the beach. They even sell beer and a wide selection of munchies, all at reasonable prices. Thought we would end up spending twice as much.
Another nice feature was the customer service. Well staffed and quick on the cash register.

Did you say you needed a googly eyes starfish? How about a fetal shark in a jar? Maybe a red velveteen box adorned with small brown and white shells? How about a magnet or a T-​shirt that says «Welcome to (insert beach name here) Beach!» in garish colors? Or a coffee mug that says I heart (insert beach name here) Beach!“
Then run on down to your local or the nearest Surf Styles! They have your «anything remotely beach related» needs. From 90 cent beach toys to $ 75.00 flip flops, overpriced tanning lotion to quirky cool cheap sunglasses, there is something for everyone here. I can spend hours of precious tanning time in this store milling about
The stores are always located very near a beach. This particular one is in Gulport, Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico. They store is big and stocks everything. This one has a larger than average food/​grocery section likely due to the area being decimated after Katrina. It was one of the first things built following Katrina, and it was a welcome sight. It’s almost always a must do part of a trip to the beach when you haven’t been in a while. The store has cool air conditioning, and tons of things for people to buy in any price range. You can take you kids in there, grab a couple t-​shirts and a towel each and drop less than 30 a person. Each summer, we all go in Surf Styles to pick one of the big (giant) beach towels hanging on the wall.
The only con is that they have no public restrooms, normally this is not an issue, but in an area like Gulfport with little existing infrastructure, this can be hard on people with kids.
The employees are usually polite and the long, snaking lines move faster than you would expect. On Father’s day and Mother’s day they give away free gifts. That is a kind gesture.
I like Surf Styles and still smile when I look at the little mementos I have acquired from each trip to the beach. I especially dig the bags they give you, they are reusable and are super convenient for follow up beach trips or even for Mardi Gras beads. Every time I see one on the parade route I smile and am reminded that my next trip to the beach is coming up!
