I'm interested in maybe buying a decent pair of binoculars. Does anyone have a recommendation for where to go?

I would suggest Boolchands also. I agree it's best to purchase at home, for quality and price. However, last trip I forgot our binocs somehow, and almost thought about going to buy some on island, but decided to do without. We use our binoculars a lot at Beachside.

Mitch,
Unless you really feel you NEED them for this trip, I’d take a look at the Nikon Monarchs and compare options at home. It’s a lot easier to send them back to Amazon than it is to Boolchands (a good company to deal with btw...) unless you’d only return them in person and if so, I’d opt for Boolchands. 😊😊
Respectfully,
pat

Cabelas is always a good bet. Huge selection. I have several Nikon binoculars (wife used to work for a Nikon distributor). Very solid. We always take a pair down. Used to sit on my perch way atop the C building (sniff) at SBR for hours. Great fun watching the comings and goings of Simpson bay.
