Bayside Marketplace Description
Rather than go to an indoor mall, your family can spend a few hours souvenir-hunting while enjoying the waterfront view. The open-air Bayside Marketplace features everything from chains like the Disney Store and Champs to local trinket and shell shops. On weekends (the schedule varies, so check the marketplace's website), you can often catch a local band playing a free concert. Or, just sit by the water and watch the boats go by. A good way to cap your shopping excursion is with a meal at one of the many charming outdoor restaurants or at the two big, family-friendly chains, Hard Rock Cafe and Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: With so many stores, they're bound to find something they like.
Pre-Teens & Teens: Teens love all malls, but one on the water is particularly enticing.
Planning Notes
- Bring sunscreen. There's plenty of shade opportunities but you'll definitely spend time in the sun.
