Emerald Isle St. Patrick's Day Festival 2008While Emerald Isle is primarily a small family vacation town with few shopping centers, the main Emerald Plantation shopping center (where Food Lion is) offers a nice variety of stores.

Two of our favorites in town are both in Emerald Plantation. Compass Rose and Planet Wear offer some of the most unique items you will find in Emerald Isle. Planet Wear is a true hippy shop, with loads of hand-made tie-dyes (made by the Planet Wear owners), as well as more consumer-oriented Liquid Blue tie-dyes, hemp jewelry, gorgeous skirts and dresses, incense and accessories, and all sorts of interesting trinkets and baubles.

Compass Rose (right) is a new age shoppe located behind Planet Wear and across the walkway. This mystical hole in the wall offers an extensive selection of silver jewelry, sun face art, statues, mystical power accessories, books, soothing new age music CDs, tarot items, incense, and much much more. Don't miss the frequent guest readers that frequent Compass Rose.

If you stop by either shop during your stay in Emerald Isle, make sure to tell Linda (right) or Phil that Dave and Tiff sent you!

Compass Rose

I frequently visit Emerald Isle & when I found these shops this year I was excited. Both shops are little gems in the beach town. On a personal review for Compass Rose, Wow is all I can say. I went in for a quick glance before grabbing some sugar & spent well over an hour in there. Linda is very helpful & straight forward. I found a stone in the shop that I couldn't identify & she helped me find the closest match. The shops are definatly worth the visit when you come in.

On the list of places to visit

Hi Dave,
I like reading your blog because you really make Emerald Isle sound inviting. I have put this as one of the places I want to visit in the near future. I love the beaches, the shops, plantations and would not mind at all spending a day like the lazy cats...just stretching and relaxing.
