Tiny Island Beach Glass

Tiny Island Beach Glass takes the word «tiny» to a whole new level. It’s a tiny, wedge-​shaped shop barely large enough to fit more than two people comfortably inside. That makes it especially charming.
I was really taken with the beautiful pieces of glass shards made into very wearable jewelry. I was expecting a store like this to have more «beach» items such as shells and beachwear, but oddly enough, was happy it didn’t. Although TBIG does carry the Greasypole brand of t-​shirts and general gift items, it wasn’t enough to make the shop seem like a typical tourist-​trap. Perhaps an advantage of having such a small shop is the opportunity to be more selective in your inventory by focusing on things that are usable or wearable over time rather than for a moment or two after your holiday has long ended.
Unfortunately, the prices were pretty steep for what equates to colored glass; and that did give me pause, but probably won’t stop me from coming by again when I have more time and early in the day before the crowds have me waiting in line to get inside.
