They have some really great places to buy souvenirs, but no Wings which are so prevalent along the east coast. The one Alvin's Island, which looks like an island from the outside is probably one of the biggest souvenir places I've ever seen. It just goes on and and on. Then, there are those noisy and energetic parrots that provide entertainment. They also have a very sleepy live shark.
At Sharky's on the beach, you can get a live lobster as a souvenir, if you can catch it. I think they'll even cook it for you. But you have to catch it with a claw like you see for the plush animals...and these can move.
There are several "Everything's a Dollar" stores which have a lot of junk, but some really nice things as well if you take the time to look. And, like they say, everything's a buck and a few even less.
Shipwreck Shirts is more of an upscale souvenir place.
The Wal Mart is huge, and being replaced by an even larger one later this year. They also have a huge souvenir selection and more Mardi Gras beads and stuff than I've ever seen outside of New Orleans.
The liquor store attached to Donovan's Reef sells some really tropical looking Donovan's Reef shirts.
