Sweet lady, not sure if she is the owner…. But she was very sweet! The jewelry collection in the glass at the register is stunning!! The name of the shop literally holds up to their name. So many seashells! I was in love everywhere I turned. I totally recommend for seashells, souvenirs, decor, etc. I found a mesh bag full of different shells & sizes by the register. I will be back especially because the lady talked to me like she knew me & was so kind.

Everything in and out of the shop is beautiful!! The lady that works there was very sweet even though I took her favorite frog in the shop!😊 lol ...She showed me a frog she had bought somewhere and let me take a photo of the tag on it so I could find it!! Very nice shop! I highly recommend going in!

Had a wonderful experience! Spoke about shells and strength! Rockport and America Strong! So great to walk into a store and be appreciated as a customer. Been in business since the 1940s. Found the perfect beach treasures.

A very cute shell shop with a nice selection of individual shells and beachy gifts. My 5 year old daughter was completely overwhelmed with shell options! Well likely make this a regular stop when were in Rockport.

The owner and her artist were sweet and actually entertaining due to the climbing crabs 🤣. My friend got a beautiful cross made by the local artist that was there. I bought a scrumptious candle! We will definitely be back!

Looking for shells of all shapes, colors, and sizes? Deborah at Sea Shell Shoppe will enlightened you with the wide variety of species, including rare and unique corrals.If you are a hands-on gift giver, you can pick through a huge selection of shells to make jeweleries, photo frames and all sorts of ocean-themed DIY crafts.Else, the shop has a ton of ready-made wind chimes, decors, and even hermit crabs if you know someone who would love a sea creature for a pet.Little girls will love the many mermaid-themed decors and all sorts of trinklets like ear rings and bracelets. They can even buy sea shells they like to make a one-of-the-kind jewelry, like what my niece did during our visit.There are also several typical Rockport souvenirs but what better way to commemorate your visit to this coastal town with a unique ocean.

Let me just start by saying that this was my very first trip to Rockport, Texas. The city is beautiful and the locals are ever so friendly. My girlfriend and I were down here for our anniversary and we had stumbled upon the “Sea Shell Shoppe”. Might I say, the store owner was and is one of the nicest and most understanding people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and gave us valuable information about the city and it’s beaches and her store is full of awesome nick-nacks, cool ocean decor, and souvenirs. I unfortunately didn’t catch her name, but thank you for your hospitality, ma’am! We will definitely be back in your store the next time we are down!

She is the sweetest woman I have ever met. I enjoy coming here every time I’m in town. We always swap stories about the news in central Texas where she has family and has traveled to over the years. This shop is an absolute treasure. It’s a crime if you don’t stop at this establishment. Even if you’re just passing through town.

The owner is super friendly and helpful every time my family visits the store, she treats you like a lifelong friend instead of a customer. The shop always has new and beautiful product every time I visit so I never leave empty handed. Our beach trip isnt complete without a trip to the Sea Shell Shoppe. Thank you for keeping this precious store alive!

Both times the owner was extremely friendly and pointed me towards the best jewelry deals when asked. Also purchased a birdhouse/wind chime and engraved wooden box. Very highly recommended.

Great little shell & souvenir shop in downtown Rockport. I have fond memories of shopping here when I was a kid in the Seventies and Eighties. This is now one of my sons must stops every trip. So happy that they are fully recovered and rebuilt since the hurricane. The lady that runs this shop is very nice and friendly and full of tips for Rockport.
