Sand jamm is superrrrrrr expensive, but they have an awesome collection of billabong and surfer items. They also have high quality flip flops and a nice array of brand name sun lotions. I love the theme but, as a resident, I don’t really ever buy much there.

Sand Jamm is on the beachside of the boardwalk and it stands out like a little oasis with it’s 4 faux palm trees outside the store. This store, thankfully, is an escape from all the other junk along the boardwalk. It’s a classic surf store carrying quality items from brands like Roxy, Billabong, Quiksilver, Under Armor, Rainbow flip-flops, and Sanuk. I took off one star since now they have a smaller selection of clothing and it seems more accessories and shoes. They’ve also started to carry more products that say Wildwood– but nothing like those obnoxious neon shirts they have along the boardwalk. I always check out their big selection of Rainbow and Sanuk flip-flops. There are also housewares and small gifts on the first floor. For the men’s section check out the upstairs.

I love Sand Jamm! I hadn’t been there in ages until recently. Their newer spot, a two-level store on the boardwalk with its back to the ocean, is amazing. It may look like a typical boardwalk store from outside, but inside will change your mind! They have a wide array of cute, beachy housewares for a shore home, as well as a fantastic array of women’s clothes. They also have a great selection of TOMS lining one wall. Upstairs is men’s apparel, which includes a huge selection of premium sports jerseys and hats. I think I was more impressed by that than anything else! Really, anything you could need to pick up while down the shore is here. The staff was friendly, and the store was quite clean. You won’t find any cheap, cheesy trend tee shirts here like the other stores that line the boardwalk — only nicer surf brands. I look forward to visiting this store again when my wallet is more prepared!

In a sea of airbrush and iron-on decal tee shirt stores, Sand Jamm has a refreshingly sophisticated inventory. It is one of the only places on the boards where one can buy quality stuff like north face, billabong, Oakley, etc. They have a fabulous selection of sunglasses and flip flops, shore essentials. I was also very impressed with their Phillies merchandise. While it was pricey, it was a great quality(Mitchell and Ness) and was worth the price. Perhaps this store could benefit from actually selling surf boards or other things related to the sport. While it is a great spot to help you look like a surfer, a real surfer would probably go elsewhere. However, I am not a surfer… I just like Oakley shades, so I will be back!

Really cool and I think they are opened all year which helped when in the middle of February and I needed a hat

Though they can be a bit pricey, I love their clothes and always leave with atleast one bathing suit. Glad they expanded. I used to be «meh» about the old store.

I remember a few years back when Sand Jamm was this tiny little shop on the Boardwalk with an inventory that could blow any other surf shop to shame… at least when it came to clothing. I would spend hundreds there in a summer refurbishing my wardrobe with the coolest Roxy and Billabong gear. Now they’ve moved up in the world and I couldn’t be happier. The upstairs has a nice little skate shop and men’s gear. The shop isn’t much help to longboarders like me, but my board never really needed servicing anyway so it didn’t really matter. Downstairs has an awesome collection of girls clothing and swimwear. I still wind up spending hundreds on clothes every summer, but I always get lots for the money and it is always good quality merchandise. I’ve actually met the owner and he’s pretty cool, so are the rest of the staff. It’s a place for the real beachgoers in the tourist trap to hang and there’s a cool coffee shop next door that has a mean brew.
