Seaside Shoppes

Seaside Shoppes is a locally owned artist co-op selling handmade gifts, coastal décor, pottery, jewelry, paintings, fused glass, soaps, candles, textiles and woodworking from a collective of local artists and makers. Many of the shop's artists work in ceramics and seasonal creations as well, so the selection changes over the year.

The shop also runs artist-led classes and workshops, including pottery, fused glass, mosaics, resin art, soap making and holiday projects, and no art background is needed. Artist meet-and-greets let visitors shop directly from the makers. Around 10 percent off is offered to military personnel and veterans at participating booths, and the shop hosts an annual holiday party on 4th Avenue South in early November. It sits on 4th Avenue South in Jacksonville Beach, about two blocks from the beach.
