Alvin's Island, especially the Magic Mountain Store, has been a tradition among tourists and locals for decades. In the past year or so, Alvin's seems to be changing its inventory to fit in with the hundreds of other t-shirt shops that spring up along the beach.
In doing so, Alvin's has lost some of the character that it had with the wonderful, unique gifts and personalized items it has offered for years.
I loved it the way it was. We have enough t-shirt shops where tourists can get every clothing item imaginable with Panama City Beach on it. Alvin's was unique, and should go back to its roots.
