When you live at the beach, you try to hold onto the local flavor that so many visitors come to experience. Tourists often look for the local spots and return annually or move back to the beach as quickly as possible, wanting to be part of the local scene themselves. And why not? This is a fantastic place to live and work. But to shop? Absolutely! Many local artists and retailers have created high quality products right here in our neck of the woods, often to showcase our coastal vibe. You don’t have to be a local to find these and more original and one-of-a-kind gifts. This holiday, shop local and give local.
