The iconic Souvenir City in Gulf Shores has been a family-owned business for over 60 years. Since 1956 this epic shop has been providing epic shopping for visitors and locals.
Inside this iconic Gulf Shores gift shop, you will find custom airbrush t-shirts and hats, live hermit crabs, sea shells, homemade fudge, t-shirts, and so much more.
If you are looking for the perfect souvenir to bring home to remember your beach vacation, you will find it in Souvenir City Gulf Shores.
So many trinkets, shot glass, home decor, beachwear, towels, jewelry, swimwear, and more all at a fantastic Gulf Shores Alabama souvenir shop with a giant sharks mouth.
Locals and tourists will find something amazing they have to have!
Before we moved to the Gulf Coast, we would visit historic Souvenir City every trip and find a frame or something to remind us of our goal of living at the beach.
Now that we live here, we love challenging each other to find something new and fun for our house.
We recently picked up the perfect picture frame for our new home. I had a hard time picking just one frame, and I have a few in mind for our next visit.
Souvenir City Gulf Shores has a ton of coastal décor items. I watched a shopper load up a shopping cart with decor and pictures for their beach house.
They have a huge selection of merchandise and it is a fun place to wander around.
If you are traveling with kids, I will warn you that they also have pet hermit crabs in painted shells.
You may want to have a conversation before heading into the store if you are not excited to bring a crabby new friend into the house.
Don't worry there are a ton of toys and clothes for kids of all ages to distract them with.
