About The Island Surf Shop

The Island Surf Shop in Indian Rocks Beach, FL, offers rentals, quality beach equipment, and unique, tastefully decorated apparel. Customers frequently praise the owners and staff for being incredibly welcoming, helpful, and creating a genuinely positive community vibe. This shop is ideal for visitors seeking unique, quality beachwear and friendly local service, ensuring a pleasant shopping experience.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the friendly, welcoming, and family-like atmosphere created by the owners (Sunshine, Bob, Larry). The shop is noted for its unique, cute, and high-quality inventory, including hippie clothes, artisan goods, and beachwear. Excellent customer service is a recurring theme, with staff frequently going above and beyond, such as lending items (life jacket, cornhole bags) or delivering/picking up rentals directly on the beach. Rental prices, especially for skimboards, were mentioned as being very affordable.

Things to Consider

There are severe, conflicting reports regarding owner behavior. One detailed account describes an extremely unpleasant incident involving an owner reacting rudely to a child accidentally dropping an item, aggressively demanding payment, and causing distress to a family. Another serious report alleges that both owners followed a family to a different store, screamed at a 14-year-old girl, accused her of theft while appearing intoxicated, and continued harassment outside. Conversely, one review defended the owner's handling of the initial child incident. One isolated complaint mentioned an employee being rude and prejudiced while accusing customers of shoplifting.
