A new boutique specializing in coastal-inspired apparel, accessories, and locally made goods has debuted in Gulfport.
Drift + Story opened a few weeks ago at 3129 Beach Boulevard offering a mix of women’s apparel, sunglasses, hats, swimwear, candles, water bottles, children’s beach accessories, jewelry, and other gift items.
Owner Haley Santamaria, originally from California, moved to Florida about two years ago to be closer to family. Earlier this year, she left her corporate job to open the boutique.
The space was previously occupied by Paw Paw’s pet supply store, which closed in late 2024 following back-to-back hurricanes.
