“We were in walking distance of pelicans and went almost every night. We really enjoyed the wide variety of flavors. The order gentleman could be more personable, but the other staff was wonderful. We tended to look in the windows to prepare our selves for him. My children were always excited try a new flavor. We cannot wait to come back next year!“

“We are so glad we stopped at Beach Bunnies! After biking to Soundside Park (which is absolutely worth the trip), it was the perfect place to cool off and relax.
The ice cream and smoothies were delicious, but what really stood out was the kindness of the staff. I had a little ice cream mishap and dropped one, and they replaced it without charging me. That level of customer service is hard to find and was so appreciated.
The atmosphere is great too—cold A/C inside, music playing, games in the back, plenty of sweet treats, and best of all, it’s dog-friendly. Beach Bunnies is exactly the kind of local spot that makes a vacation even more memorable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“🎣🌊 Surf City Pier – Fishing & Fun! 🌊🎣 #leachfamilyfishn Surf City Pier is the perfect spot for both fishing and surfing, and we had an amazing time out there! The fishing was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the ocean breeze made it even better. And let’s talk about the pier shop—it wasn’t bad at all! We were able to grab a yummy milkshake that hit the spot after a fun day on the water. Friendly staff, good vibes, and a beautiful view made the experience even sweeter. If you’re looking for a place to fish, enjoy the beach, and treat yourself afterward, Surf City Pier is definitely worth the trip!“

“We just left and I couldn’t wait to recommend sweet alicious. We had an amazing experience from the moment we opened the door. We were greated as soon as we came in, the music was great, the customer service was even better, and the ice cream was amazing. The store was very clean and the prices are more than fair. I had the pleasure of chatting with the manager and her daughter, they were so kind. I would hands down recommend 10 out of 10.“
