About Us

Our island shop

The best gift shop on Ocracoke.

Pirates Chest Gift Shop sits on Back Road in Ocracoke Village, North Carolina - flags flying out front, shells and jewelry inside, and a rack of aloha shirts that visitors come back for every summer. Over 840 Google reviews, 4.5 stars.


From Back Road to your mailbox

Ask anyone who has ferried over to Ocracoke: you stop at the Pirates Chest. Visitors tell us the same thing year after year - something for everyone, decent prices, friendly folks. Now the chest is open online.

We carry made-in-USA aloha shirts in three cuts and hundreds of Hawaiian-designed prints, plus the pirate flags, mugs, treasure maps and island gifts our shop is known for - and now a hold of handcrafted coastal wood furniture and decor - shipped anywhere in the U.S.

New in the chest

Coastal wood for island homes

Visitors kept asking where to find furniture and decor with the same weathered, salt-air feel as the island. So we added Coastal Wood Home: driftwood lamps, live-edge shelves, sculptural consoles, benches and tables, each handcrafted to order by our partner artisan workshops and shipped straight to your door.

Every piece is made after you order it. We send photos of your actual piece before finishing, and it arrives in about 3-4 weeks. Browse the collection or read our wood buying guides.
