Under the Sun

"Beautiful boutique. Quality hand made items. Great place to stop if you're in Woods Hole for the ferry."

"I have known this shop and this shop owner since I worked in the shop 43 years ago. I saw the review from a parent who thought it was okay to allow her children to try on items meant for adults. I don't agree with that parent. I have known this shop to cater to families with well behaved children, to sell t shirts and other items especially for children, and I know the shop owner to be a woman who likes children. If I had been working in the shop I would have immediately asked the mother not to allow her children to try on hats and gloves not meant for them and that would not be purchased for them. The shop is not a playground. I don't know the parents of these kids, who I'm sure meant no harm, but I do know the owner and manager and they are wonderful people who have run this shop well for decades."

"The BEST shop in Wood's Hole, if not the whole Cape! We never miss a chance to go there...wonderful, artistic, unique artists' works. A must visit. High quality, reasonable prices. Wonderful shop!!"

"First of all, it's Woods Hole. Science nerd heaven. The town is small and charming enough for any tourist but for science types this is a special place. Under the Sun recognizes that and offers a range of lovely crafts, jewelry, soaps and gifts that will charm anyone. Many of their beautiful things are handmade so the prices are not bargain, but you get quality that matches cost. There is a range from affordable to high end which is great when looking for a small lovely thing to remember a lovely place. They take cash, credit and debit. Street parking only, metered, and getting a spot is a gladiatorial game, so it's easier to plan any Woods Hole trip with walking as the main means of travel. Besides, you see the town in a way cars can't offer. Lovely for anyone but truly special for anyone in the sciences."
