From colorful resort wear to trendy must-haves, this list is packed with spots you’ll love, plus a few pro tips to make your shopping trip even sweeter.
Seaside
Cabana Seaside – If you love bright colors, resort-style fashion, and beachy accessories, Cabana Seaside is a must. New this season is a full enewton shopping experience with the most extensive collection of the viral jewelry line in the area — almost like a shop within the shop. Beyond the famous bracelet stack, think bold prints, shell bags and favorites like Queen of Sparkles, DL1961, Julie Vos, Little Words Project bracelets, Free People, Sunshine Tienda and a wall of shoes that will have you wanting one of each. They also have gifts and home decor sprinkled throughout so you can find girly gifts, notepads, beach bag essentials and plenty of coastal color.
La La Links – Seaside’s go-to for permanent jewelry! This brand started in Seaside’s pop-up district and now has a gorgeous storefront featuring a full selection of jewelry, charms, and a photo booth inside for the perfect Insta moment. Browse a full assortment of customizable necklaces, bracelets and rings in-store and under the umbrellas facing 30A. For an extra sentimental mom-daughter memory, get matching bracelets or anklets to remember the trip.
Poeta – This feels like Loveshackfancy meets Stoney Clover Lane with prints and personalization to match. Poeta is an adorable store with colorful, hand-quilted cosmetic pouches, backpacks, totes, bags, table linens, and more in a variety of floral and block print styles. There’s also an embroiderer on staff so once you’ve selected your style and print, you can upgrade with an extra customization adding a name or initials. I was able to pick mine up the next day. This is also the only boutique on 30A with a gorgeous Gulf view, so while you’re shopping, you can glance over and see turquoise waters beyond the dunes. Both my daughters and I have found gems here and if you are looking for a gift card, this is also the same family of stores as Lala Links and Headley Hat, so one gift card works at all three.
The Seaside Style – It wouldn’t be a true 30A shopping list without the iconic Seaside tee. Browse branded apparel and accessories with a classic coastal feel. See the latest color combos, dog accessories, home decor and pick up a souvenir sweatshirt or comfy tee to remember your trip.
Pro Tip: The new butter tee with chambray lettering is my favorite!
Ophelia Swimwear – Located in Seaside and also by The Big Chill, Ophelia is your stop for the cutest bikinis and beachwear. They carry brands that teens love for stylish, flattering, and trendy swimsuits.
Looks Like Love – Don’t miss wandering further into Ruskin Place for a dreamy little boutique with a curated selection of sweet, feminine pieces—think stylish dresses, fun accessories, and cute gifts that feel effortlessly fresh and fun. If your teen loves unique fashion finds with a touch of boho-chic or modern elegance, this is a must-visit.
Pro Tip: Grab a snack while you shop and sample some of Seaside’s best bites and sips. Try a famous mimosa (for mom) at Modica Market or a fresh smoothie (for teens) at Greenstream before heading out for more shopping. When you’re done, grab a spot at Pickle’s Sandbar and relax with your new merch.

Becasa – This one is admittedly more for the mamas than your little women, but Emily’s easy way of styling breezy coastal pieces with beach chic decor will have you drooling over every inch.
