On any given day, guests can expect to find the tidbits of times long past, including furniture (ask about their shipping policies if you find a big piece you just can't pass by!) military pieces, knick knacks, even clothing that can be fun to revamp and wear today.
Mermaid's Chandelier
Tucked away in a modest shop not far from Collectors Antique Mall, the blue sign with lime green mermaid holding a black chandelier intrigued us enough to pay it a visit, and the everchanging selection of cool wares brings us back time and time again. Stop in the Mermaid's Chandelier for unique items.

If you don't visit at least one souvenir shop during your travels, can you really say you have been there? Every home needs another magnet for its refrigerator, every beach goer needs a puka shell anklet, and all dads deserve a baseball hat loudly proclaiming the virtues of life in Beaufort, and all of these things and more can be found at Barefoot Bubbas.

Offering a large variety of handmade bath pretties, they also offer a selection of all natural bug repellants that can come in handy during a South Carolina summer vacation.
