A perfect afternoon is in store when you browse through the colorful Shops of Grayton. Here you’ll find a great selection of art, apparel, gifts, and more. They are open Monday - Friday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. If you enjoy a charming small-town feel, you’ll also want to check out Uptown Grayton. Airy boutiques, coffee shops, and specialty stores line the streets of this upscale shopping center. Grab a cup of coffee at one of the nearby cafes, and then shop to your heart’s content! They are open from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. every day of the week.

Seaside

If you have never been to Seaside, a visit to this idyllic beach town is a must. The Merchants of Seaside feature a variety of shops, restaurants, open-air markets, and entertainment. If you are searching for the best-kept-secret, stop by Ruskin Place. This quiet park is surrounded by art galleries, boutiques, and winding oak trees. You can also find original fine art paintings, jewelry, apparel, and more. And don’t forget to stop by Sundog Books for some great reads to take to the beach!
