Basket House

The first thing we spotted was a sign at the end of the dock that said, “It’s worth the walk!” We couldn’t agree more. The best stocked and most charming gift shop in Westport also features the friendliest workers! We found some great deals on sweatshirts and other knickknacks. The selection is wide ranging, and very family friendly. Be aware that it is on the end of a functional shipping dock, so you do need to pay attention to forklifts that might be zipping around. The workers are very aware of the foot traffic, so we never felt the slightest bit unsafe. Honestly, it just adds to the charm. It is absolutely worth the walk!

What a treasure chest of goodies at the end of the dock! The Basket House offers a very nice selection of apparel, shells, and gifts, and the prices are very reasonable. The folks there are super friendly and helpful. Don't miss this great shopping spot when you come to Westport!

This was a great gift shop. I was surprised! They had a wide variety of stuff and not as cheesy as lots of gift shops for tourists they had nice items as well! I bought a silver charm for my charm bracelet, and I love it!
