Shark Attack

I’ve always enjoyed a visit to Shark Attack when visiting family in Topsail. Unfortunately the confederate flag in your window means I will no longer patronize your business.

Bought a giant beach towel there about 7 years ago and the towel is in brand new condition even after using it year round. The flip flops and bathing suits we bought also lasted a long time. Great store. Fun and has pretty much all the trinkets you need for souvies

I confess, the giant shark lured me in! I had to go see it and actually walk through it’s mouth to enter the store and it’s a fun prop for a picture!
Once inside it’s your typical big beach store stuffed to the gills with every kind of souvenir from hats to shades to t shirts, beach towels, postcards and anything else you can imagine! The prices very in every range so if this is the type of place you want to get your tacky beach chachkies you can either snag it here or the tikki place across the street, both are mecca!

All the kitschy made-​in-​china crap that you’d expect from a store like this. Prices seem a little higher but the sharks out front seem worth it.

I really wasn’t in Sneads Ferry as a beach tourist. We drove past this store so many times that I decided we had to go in and see what it had to offer. Last year I took pictures of the unusual store front but the store itself was closed. This year I was nuts and decided I needed pictures of myself and husband in the whales mouth.
What does the store have to offer. My SO says it’s a cross between Telegraph Ave, Berkeley in the 60’s and the shops you might find in Chinatown. To me I found it even more ecclectic than that. I found it to be a cross between the Oriental Trading Company catalog, all the dollar stores you’ve ever been in, yard furniture, and tourist t-​shirts. The prices did not compare to the previously mentioned businesses and I found them to be quite high. Then again this is a beach community that gets many tourists who would probably pay the prices.
I’ve satisfied my curiousity and won’t need to shop here in the future.
