1. Shrivers Salt Water Taffy

I visited Shrivers with my husband and family. The whole experience was great. They have tons of different flavors of taffy (I like the peppermint) which you can mix and match as you please. I have had taffy from a bunch of different spots in the US and this definitely tasted fresh. You can even see the taffy being made in the back of the store which is fun to watch. The atmosphere is great and there are fun other types of candy as well - I brought back some fudge for my mom which she liked. Definitely a good stop if you are in the area and craving sugar.

Almost Always a great idea. Get great exercise walking or in the morning riding a bike or surrey. If you aren't feeling energized sit on one of the many benches a spend some time people watching. So Much Fun! Stores are great I love Marty's and of course the phenominal food--Johnson Popcorn, Curley's Fries, Funnel Cake, Fudge, Ice Cream, Salt Water Taffy, etc.. ok I love the food. Go into Shriver's and get a fabulous Candy Apple --sooooo good yum

We went to this beach on a weekday to escape the crowds. It was beautiful, clean and not crowded at all. No swimming here, but we brought our chairs, ate lunch and walked down to the inlet. It was our first visit to this park and we will be back!!

This store is one of my favourite places on the OC boardwalk! The things that I find in there are always so unique and adorable. They have a great selection of candy that is sure to have something for everyone. The pillows are my favourite and I haven’t found some of them anywhere else.
