Squigley's Shade Shack is a cute ice cream place in Carolina Beach, known for much more than average sundaes or milkshakes. It is famous for the "Squigley," a unique treat made with creamy vanilla ice cream mixed with a choice of fruits, candies, or baked goods, recommended in a waffle cone. They offer many options, including all-fruit versions for allergy concerns, and other specialties like Pirate’s booty or ooey gooey. Portions are large and the ice cream is delicious and super creamy. The place is often packed, thanks to its great ice cream, lots of options, and friendly staff who give helpful suggestions. The experience includes getting a sticker with a Squigley order. They have plenty of parking and seating outside and some inside, plus a gift shop upstairs. It is a must-visit for many, though it is cash only with an ATM available inside.
Cute place in Carolina beach! The ice cream is pretty pricey, but there are many options and it's super creamy! My party of 3 shared one scoop and didn't even finish, so portions are large.

We've been coming to Carolina beach and squigleys for years but this year we appreciated them all the more. Our 1 year old was diagnosed with an egg allergy and squigleys can make an all fruit squigley so allergy kids don't miss out on the fun and treats!

The best Ice cream. Love the squiggly for mixing it so much better than a flurry. It's a delicious ice cream and we love going each summer
