This is a tourist mecca if you like those sort of things. It is well merchandised and very clean. Restrooms are clean and available as well. There are a bunch of different types of shells and many collectibles they have crafted. I felt it catered to the older tourist. Sales people were hands off unless you needed help.

The staff at this place is very rude and unhelpful. They have a security guy that walks around and makes you feel like you are a criminal. Some of the items were nice to look at, but the place is uncomfortable and makes you feel unwelcome. I would definitely not recommend this place. It was the worst one that we shopped at. There are so many wonderful places to shop in Key Largo! Avoid this one.

What a great store with many souvenir choices. You can find all size and types of shells, along with clothing, magnets, home decor and more. The pricing for items is so reasonable that we found nicer quality items for cheaper than the "local boutiques". A woman's sweatshirt with "Key Largo" on it was only $21.00. This is a definite tourist stop for items!

Used to go there every time we were in the keys, no more. After being accosted by a "Keran" that worked there about my mask, I hung up the shirt I was going to buy and walked out. We would spend over $200 every time we'd go. NEVER AGAIN! I don't need nor want your over priced imported junk from China. There are lot's of other, friendlier stores that will appreciate the business.

A trip to the keys is never complete without stopping at shell world. Make sure to check out the discount shelf at the back of the store as well as the many great items they have throughout the rest of the store. They also have clean toilets which is a blessing before the drive home to Miami. Lots of beautiful items including T-shirts, knickknacks, jewelry, Keylime products, home goods with mermaid, nautical, and beach themes.

Fun place but older woman behind register was quite rude. We asked a question regarding the salt scrub. She insisted that they were in boca even through their website said they had a wholesale location on islamorada. (Florida glow old name). We called the actually place and they said of course they were located in islamorada and have a place on tavanier. Then they told us to come visit.
They also said they would provide the store some education and called them with us present. Sadly got another worker though.
Be nice to customers. Happy customers buy more. Insulting correct customers makes you look foolish.

Our family spent a little over an hour perusing the goods at this pretty large-sized shop right in the middle of Key Largo. There was a little something for everyone, from babies on up. There were some quirky, funny, off-color items my teenager enjoyed, and some nice decorative items. Tons of shells to search through, and the prices were moderate. Overall, we enjoyed it.

Every sales person asked if they could help us and if we were finding everything. All of them engaged us in conversation. This shop is huge but the selection is great and nicely arranged. After looking in various stores in the Keys we finally found attractive manatee tee shirts. We were short on time otherwise more items would have been purchased.

Amazing staff that was super helpful. This is a must stop location for getting souvenirs, beautiful shells, mermaid thing for the kids. The staff was so sweet and kind. What a great find! The girls on staff we talked to were the sweetest people. They had the most beautiful conch shells we have ever seen so we had to get a few. They had so many great treasures in Shell World. Its a local shop, that is run with a lot of heart and it shows. If you could only shop in one place during your trip to the keys this should be it. It's locally owned, has beautiful local products and large variety of souvenirs. I wish them nothing but the best. What a great business with great quality products. All of the employees seemed happy to be there and happy to help with any questions.

Don't let the name fool you, this place has so much more than seashells. We found t-shirts, perfume, and a wide range of jewelry here. While I don't like to spend my precious vacation time shopping, my kids always save their money to pick up a small souvenir on our trips. This place delivered for all of them. We'll stop back here on our next trip to the Keys!

Hi, do you do sales and shipping by internet?
Written 7 June 2016
They have been working on their web site for quite some time so they don't have an online shopping area. I would guess though that if you know what you want they would be willing to ship it to you. Give them a call at 305-852-8245.
