Local Art, Handmade Gifts & classes at Jax Beach
Welcome to Seaside Shoppes, a locally owned artist co-op in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, where creativity, community, and coastal inspiration come together under one roof.
Whether you're a Jacksonville local, visiting Northeast Florida, or searching for unique things to do near the beach, Seaside Shoppes offers an experience unlike any other.
Our shop is home to a talented collective of local artists, makers, and small businesses who create one-of-a-kind handmade gifts, coastal décor, pottery, jewelry, paintings, fused glass, soaps, candles, textiles, woodworking, ceramics, seasonal creations, and so much more. Every purchase supports local artists and helps strengthen Jacksonville Beach's vibrant creative community.
Looking for more than shopping? Seaside Shoppes is also becoming one of the area's favorite destinations for artist-led classes, creative workshops, and hands-on experiences. Throughout the year, our artists host beginner-friendly workshops where you can learn new skills, create your own artwork, and enjoy a fun, welcoming atmosphere. From pottery and ceramics to fused glass, mosaics, resin art, soap making, seasonal holiday projects, and other creative classes, there's always something new to discover.
We host Artist Meet & Greets, allowing visitors to meet the talented makers behind the artwork, hear their stories, learn about their creative process, and shop directly from the artists themselves. It's a wonderful way to connect with Jacksonville Beach's thriving arts community while finding meaningful gifts and handcrafted treasures you won't see anywhere else.
Whether you're planning a girls' shopping day out, need a hostess gift, family outing, rainy-day activity, vacation experience, or simply looking for fun things to do in Jacksonville Beach, Seaside Shoppes welcomes visitors of all ages and experience levels. No artistic background is required—just bring your curiosity and creativity.
Because our workshops and special events are continually growing, we encourage you to check back often. New classes, seasonal experiences, artist demonstrations, and community events are added throughout the year, making every visit a little different from the last.
At Seaside Shoppes, we're more than an art gallery or gift shop—we're a creative destination where local artists, residents, and visitors come together to celebrate art, learn something new, support small businesses, and experience the unique spirit of Jacksonville Beach.
We invite you to stop in, meet our artists, explore handcrafted collections, take a class, and discover why Seaside Shoppes has become one of Jacksonville Beach's favorite places to shop local, create, and connect.
