Beach Trader Gift Shop

Carrabelle Historic Museum

The Beach Trader is walking distance from our RV Resort.  What a cute little place!  It reminds me of the souvenir stores in MI that were in old shabby buildings but still loaded with character and charming gifts.  Pam, the owner greeted us and told us her story on how she moved to Carrabelle.  What a delight she was and her little store.  I bought shell to put on a necklace chain and shell earrings.  They are probably made in China, instead of from the ocean but the price was right and wanted to give Pam some business.  

We also made it out to the Carrabelle Historic Museum.  A little elderly lady showed us around and told us of the history of Carrabelle.  A stop for ice cream across the street made this a perfect afternoon.  

It may seem at first that there isn't a lot to do in this quaint beach area.  It isn't full of the high rises and shopping that you would see in tourist destinations like Destin and Orange Beach.  All the better!  We love it here!  We'll wait to enter the rat race and shopping when we get back home.
