Harbourside Beach ‘n’ Bits

What a great shop for the beach they even inflated the swim rings and shark toys for us great service.!!

With the nearby pharmacy pushing its own beachside paraphernalia – thongs, towels, sunscreen and the like – one wonders what sort of trade Harbourside Beach ‘n’ Bits does. I certainly did find myself chomping at the bit to get my hands on anything it was offering. What use do I have for a blow-​up pool chair that floats around? What use does anyone really have for that sort of thing at the beach? As for the boogie boards, well, I personally have no use for such things in a totally enclosed harbour that it so utterly devoid of waves that it’s almost uncanny. I’m also not entirely sure that I want to buy a boogie board for twenty dollars. That’s the sort of price that gets one wondering about quality…
I’m being a bit unfair, I know, but this is the sort of shop that feels distinctly like filler and that has one cocking one’s eyebrow more than one would like. While some might feel that summer is the time for cheap and essentially useless novelties, I am not one of them, and I wish the place sold fresh fruit juices or something useful instead.
