​​Emerald Isle Books & Toys

Fantastic store! Everyone was super helpful there. Holding the door for me to come in with a stroller. They have books for everyone!!! And puzzles and games and toys and stationery and post cards. Really well stocked and fantastic pricing.

Swoon,
Something for everyone in your whole family here. What a wonderful place.

Truly a beautiful collection of high quality toys.

I love it here. Happy to find it. Will be back soon.

A surprisingly large and well-stocked book/ toy store a short walking distance from the beach. My son purchased a few build-it-yourself toys and I purchased a book I had been wanting at a great price.

Fantastic. Nostalgic. Feels the same walking in 30 years ago vs today. Great selection of books and toys. Great place to shop for children too.

My family had a house on Emerald Isle for 23 years, literally since my siblings and I were newborns. We went to this bookstore many, many times and it’s a key piece of me and my siblings’ childhood. Just like another reviewer mentioned, the creaky floors and labyrinth of books make it the sweetest, coziest bookstore I’ve come across. There was a time that signs were on the door that said they would be closing but I am so glad that they were able to remain open still to this day, based on reviews! I haven’t been back in a couple of years but thought I would write a review in appreciation. Thank you for providing such a charismatic little shop to Emerald Isle ❤ Please never get rid of that incredible, creaky floor

Great selection of books, gifts, learning activities, and toys for all ages. Nice to see a "brick and mortar" book store again!

This place is an absolute must visit when at Emerald Isle! Everything from the creaky wooden floors to the labyrinth-like mase of books and toys makes this store feel like the cozy hometown bookstore that it is! If you're looking for your next summer read or some fun games/ toys to keep your young kids busy at the beach, look no further than Emerald Isle Books & Toys.

This is a true treasure to find. It's one of the best book stores I've ever been in due to the layout and small town friendliness of everyone. The employees are great, large selection of books and a lot of new releases on the shelf. Love this place.

A great place to pick up gifts all year round.

This is a really nice local place. The selection of books and toys is great with a variety that is way more than you would expect from a small local store. Staff also seems really friendly and the bathroom is probably the cleanest one I've seen in a public place.

Wonderful book store with amazing staff.

I love this shop. Large selection of books, lots of kids books, really cool toys... my family always wants to visit here, and we always find something cool.

Quiet and peaceful bookstore. Very calming shop, time flies quickly in here! There are plenty of vacation memorabilia from toddler toys to adult gifts. Book selection includes the standard beach novels, current best sellers, and other easy reading. Lovely spot to lose a half hour in.

Good selection of books and toys. Excellent customer service in a clean and pleasant environment.

I have been coming here for years! It is so nice to have such helpful staff and such a wide range of books to choose from. I recently got the Ultimate Job Search Guide. It has been such a great resource for looking for jobs and updating my resume. I definitely recommend the book and the book store for anyone interested!

This is a delightful store. Hidden away, it was months before I even knew it was there. And I am very glad I found it. The store is a pleasure to browse. The staff is friendly and helpful.

We were visiting Emerald Isle for the week. Stopped in to see if they had playdoh - they did! My son and I stayed for almost another hour looking through the books, games, and toys. The staff were helpful and very friendly - a perfect bookshop!

Great selection of books, toys and gifts. Helpful staff.

Independent bookstores like this one are amazing and need the support of everyone. There is a nice array of books, toys, and more.

I always come here when on the island. The people working have always been super nice and super helpful. This is what a bookstore should be.

My favorite stop anytime I come to Emerald Isle. I came here nearly every summer as a kid and now I get to enjoy bringing my kids to pick out books for the beach. They have a great selection and I love the unique layout.
