Filled with beach remembrances, collectibles, apparel and home furnishings, The Cotton Gin is a refreshing diversion on a sultry summer day. A nostalgic decor hints of summers past.  The Cotton Gin is a country-market kind of place, an unusual setting for a most delightful shopping experience. We’re at the hub of excitement, tinged with a touch of the past, colorful, rustic and quaint. A journey to The Cotton Gin reveals room after room of collectible dolls, baskets of all sizes, stuffed animals, handmade quilts, stoneware, Christmas ornaments, cotton towels, waterfowl carvings, wooden crafts and candles. We invite you to visit us when traveling to North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
