Bayshore clothing in Marathon is more than just a great place to shop. I'll start with the basics. I used to live in marathon and would always stop in the shop after grabbing something from sweet savannah's next door. I can honestly say that this is one of the best places to go to get a genuine gift for someone out of town or if you're a tourist and want to bring something back to the family. They have a wide variety of clothing, ranging from nice clothes to wear out to beach themed t shirts, and their jewelry is probably my favorite part about the store. Anything you get here will be higher quality and much more appreciated as a gift, or for yourself, than something you would get at a shell world or sandal factory. The best part, however, is the people working there. They are always kind and helpful when you come in and will go above and beyond to make sure that you get what you need. Here's my story: I currently live in Nashville and wanted to make Mother's Day special even from 1,000 miles away. The first place I looked to for a gift was Bayshore clothing, and I found a super cute turtle necklace that I knew my mom would love. I reached out to some of my connections down there to have them pick up the gift and deliver it to my mom but plans fell through and they couldn't make it, and they were going to be closed on Sunday (Mother's Day)! I was freaking out thinking I was going to look like a terrible son when I got a call out of nowhere. It was Miss Terri from Bayshore Clothing asking if there was anything she could do to help. I told her my situation and she did not hesitate to go out of her way to go back to the store after closing and take the necklace to my mother at work. She even picked up the cookies I ordered from next store! I could not believe a stranger would go through all of this for someone she didn't even know, but I was very grateful for it. My mom got her gifts and was ecstatic, she loved the necklace and ate the cookies as soon as they got there. Anyways, I apologize for my long review, but this was the best way I thought I could show my appreciation and vouch for a fantastic local business. If y'all are in town, be sure to stop by and take a look around!

This was the first stop my first full day in the keys. I was looking for guidance in selecting best Florida fruit varieties (as I’m from NY state), asked the employee working and hit the jackpot! Jose was the kindest and most helpful person we could’ve met. He gave us great suggestions around the Keys and we ended up spending 45 minutes there chatting about the fruit. Definitely stopping here on our way out of town as well!

We love this place, we stay here at least 5 times a year but las few times the customer service experience was not good at all BUT TODAY I was attended by ODALIS and she changed everything! Such a great customer service, she helped me to change my reservation and explained everything to me. Thanks and see you next weekend! Ali.
