Saltwater Shanty Homemade Ice Cream

"What a hidden gem. I'm sure it was only slow due to the cold overcast weather. I will be back to this ice cream shop next time I'm near Holden Beach. Will sit around to enjoy the ice cream next time when the weather is warmer."

"Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The "Winter Bourbon" with wet walnuts was incredible. A must stop for ice cream lovers. It was so good I didn't get a picture before already eating half."

"Best ice-cream in town no questions asked! Every time we come to holden Beach we come here multiple nights in a row, it's that good! You could come here for a month straight and not have the same thing twice."

"The ice cream shop is full of fun things to look at, sit on, listen to and enjoy. Plenty of parking, shade and fun outside seating. Would be a 5 star except for two things. I had the Winter Bourbon and TBH, there was so little bourbon I could not taste it after the first two bites. We also had the "Holden Beach Sand” and it was exceptional! The second thing that we would love to see changed is to serve the ice cream in real bowls with real spoons for people who order their ice cream in a bowl. We try everything we can to not use plastic and to see that wonderful ice cream sitting in that flimsy clear plastic container hurts. This place has the right vibe for them to serve in real bowls.. they don't even have to match.. could come from a thrift store to make it even better! That would be 13/10 for sure."

"Best Ice cream at Holden beach NC we had ice cream there every night it was great. They have a gift shop also with nice things"
