Each Saturday in summer, a circle of local vendors gathers to share creativity, camaraderie, and the best of Ocean Shores.

We are Ocean Shores — artisans who make soap, bake bread and cookies, craft candles, design jewelry, pour slushies, crochet animals, sell fruits and veggies, sharpen knives, build birdhouses, paint panels, repurpose rope from sea vessels, string pearls, and carve driftwood into whimsical wind chimes.

We write books, print T‑shirts, and create art from countless objects. And we always have room for you.

What began as three vendors in June, 2024 has grown to thirty and continues to flourish, thanks to the vision of Connie Clifford and her dedicated team.

Ocean Shores thrives because we lift one another. If you’re not a vendor, you can still be part of the heartbeat — helping with setup, breakdown, or lending a hand once or twice a month. Our community survives by the strength of its people.

A friend once said, “We don’t care about your political affiliation or who you go home to at night; what we care about is that we’ll make it off this peninsula together.”

That spirit is what makes Ocean Shores what it is today.
