Our first time at Emerald Isles. We loved shopping at this site. Many stores and super nice people willing to help you find what you are looking for.We bought gifts for family members for Easter and for summer fun.

Nice shops, some are touristy, others are great for the locals. And don't forget to stop by. Michael, Angelo's pizza or Rucker John's for a nice meal. They have a movie theater, and they never disappoint on St. Patrick's Day!

Kids loved it here. So many shops. We got ice cream and went to the book store and bought books. Visited the shoe store and everyone left with a pair of new shoes. Favorite part was feeding the turtles out back.

Greeted at the door. The service was great. My table was wiped down before I was seated. The food was cooked to order and loaded with options. The meal was Lg cheeseburger, fries and soda. I also had a Lil root beer float. All for $8.96

We love this little strip when we are in town. My 6 yr old likes to feed the birds and turtles.

Variety of stores, well maintained. Some places change their hours dramatically for weekends or the off season, so important to double check the hours if you are visiting. Restaurants on site as well as shopping.

My favorite shop was Wind & Tide for Emerald Isle clothing. There's a great little bookshop, too.

We visited a few of the shops in this location. Loved the bagel shop and the burger shop! Needs a little updating. I enjoyed the attitudes of the locals.

A staple of the Crystal Coast's Emerald Isle, with a variety of eateries, clothing outlets, a book shop, Food Lion and even a cinema. Not to mention the balcony overhanging the water feature to feed the local yellow belly sliders and snappy turtles. Mind the seagulls though!There is plenty for all to enjoy!

Very diverse and complete place!!!Movie theaters, popular restaurants, Karaoke, wine bars, souvenir shops.Most importantly the atmosphere and the Turtle feeding experience!!!Bring a lot of cash everything is on the expensive side thus the 4 star rating.

Nice outdoor mall with lots of little shops, mostly beach souvenir style stuff, but also some hidden gems with unique local artisan craft goods. No public bathrooms in any store - so if you, or the kids you're with need to use a bathroom, head to Food Lion.Among the highlights for us was Nelly's Gifts, with their HUGE selection of uniquely flavored fresh fudge hidden among the typical beach tchotchke - you MUST try this fudge!Also, be sure to stop into Emerald Isle Books & Toys - what a hidden GEM of a store. It is HUGE inside. The wooden deck-style walk paths that wind through the store are a cool touch, while the shelves seem to go on and on and on. Unique toys and puzzles mixed in with some classics. Also a cool selection of kites and wooden puzzles. Then there's all the books! Tons of them! You have to see this store!Finally, be sure to stop in at Briggs General Store - lots of North Carolina artisan food products that are amazing! We tried their apple butter, and the bourbon infused local wildflower honey - both of which we're GREAT! Talked with the owners for a few minutes and they were more than happy to tell us about all their cool local food stuffs.Parking wasn't too bad early in the day, but when we returned in the afternoon, we had to circle a few times before something opened up. Overall, a great way to spend a few hours relaxing with the family.

You couldn't ask for a better shopping experience!! The employees were so very friendly and helpful. I was in the store for 20 min and was asked 4 times if I needed anything. One employee in the produce section gave my daughter and I a basket because we had a couple things in our hands. He held the basket until we put the items in it. The cut fruit is so delicious and sweet. Not hard and under ripe like most stores sell. We also stopped at the sushi counter. Excellent service there too. He offered to make us a tray anyway we wanted. Also gave extra toppings to us. I will definitely shop here again next time I am there. You feel very catered too!

Bread was rubbery. I couldn't eat the sides at all. They were very hard. Staff was good but food not so much. I won't go back.

The kids loved finding the Emerald Isle Rocks hidden all over the place with inspirational sayings.

It looks charming. Everything was closed because we went to dinner at Rucker John's but would definitely go back and look at all. The little shops look like they have some real fun shops!.

We have a vacation home here. We get all our groceries here and always make a stop in the book store. ABC store has many many options as well.

Its hit or miss. Great restaurants. The shops are definitely aimed at tourists. I like the shoe store here. The movie theater is small but gets the job done mostly. There are a few bars, but I never visited them since I do not consume alcohol. There is a legal ketamine/alcohol detox IV place which I found odd. The star of the show would definitely be Stir It Up coffee shop.

This is a terrific little shopping area. Small businesses mixed together nicely. It gets busy due to Food Lion being there as the only supermarket before the introduction of Publix. The shops have cool local offerings mixed with "touristy" items. It's good to walk around and see if anything catches your eye. We love the book store!

Everything is well organized and all the employees are extremely nice and helpful here. Not because it was their job, but everyone was genuinely nice. Also found my Fruity Pebbles w/marshmallows which are discontinued back home. ❤

I have only been here once but its you typical grocery store with the added bonus of a really good sandwich shop. I wouldn't suggest walking out of here without a sandwich. The staff was kind and quick with their work. I look forward to coming back to this place next time I'm in town.

Great little place to grab a bite to eat, shop at the intrinsic local shops and boutiques then head over to the theater to watch a film. Good place to take a break from the beach and explore a little.
