Tourist trap. Expensive t-​shirts. Cheap t-​shirts. Expensive cheap t-​shirts. Expensive cheap sweatshirts. Expensive cheap beach toys. Expensive cheap beach bags. Expensive cheap swimsuits (well, the bikinis do appear larger than what you’d typically see on South Beach).
There are some saving graces, though. Location, obviously. And if you’re looking for a t-​shirt or a swimsuit, there’s a large selection. And the music was mostly salsa, with a bit of merengue and bachata thrown in.
I guess you could go here if you’re looking for a trinket to take back home. But I’d think you can find something better if you just walk west a few blocks.

Great place to buy some souvenirs or gifts for your friends and family. They are open 24⁄7 however it is almost impossible to park around so be prepared to walk.
Prices are high and the staff is really rude. They do not care about customers as 9 out of 10 are tourists! Employees perfectly know that they can act as jerks, management does not care too.
They should better learn the sense of customer service and being respectful /​tactful. The image of Miami Beach they give to visitors is just unacceptable.

Nice place to get some gifts from Miami. Prices could be little bit expensive but that is understood because of the high rent in south beach. There was absolutely no parking spaces and i had to spin around the store for half an hour before finding one.
Service could be little slow because they are busy all the time and the girls who work there have no mood what so ever to speak English!

Rude old man at the front door gives people dirty looks and yells at customers. Owners dont give a shit about customer respect. That area is filled with stores selling tourist items. Dont waste your money on these blood suckers

Where else can you find wifebeaters with graffitti boobs and tank tops for toddlers that say «Sexy and I know it». Cheap prices for all your SoBe Souvenir needs.

It’s been awhile since I was in SoBe…
but I wanted to put in a review for my visit.
It was nice to be able to rent beach cruisers while on vacation.
–1 star because I was bummed out they didn’t have any baskets so I had to tie everything to the bike handles.
If you’re in SoBe and looking to rent beach cruiser… head to Alvin’s!

I’m a sucker for beachy gear and souvenirs, so Alvin’s Island has always been a fave of mine. They’re on every corner in Panama City Beach, so I was happy to find one here in Mia.
Yes, they’re touristy, yes, they have a lot of cheap crap and tacky duds (flourescent man briefs anyone?). BUT, they also have tons of cute stuff and the prices are pretty good. And this location is HUGE — a massive selection of flip flops, dresses, bathing suits, souvenirs of all kinds, etc. etc. I found an adorable pair of Reefs here I couldn’t even find online. I’d definitely stop in here anytime I’m on the beach.
