Sun Rose Words & Music

This is the cutest book store! They have a great selection of newer and older books, perfect finds for everyone! They have the sweetest employees, so helpful and kind! Very well organized and so nice to walk around! I could spend hours in this store!

This was our 3rd year visiting, and it is a must-do while in Ocean City, NJ. The selection is great - we always find books to take with us to the beach, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

Got some good books during my visit. Nice shop, a little pricey but happy to support a local shoppe.

This place seemed to have a great selection, and I always love to support a local business when I can, however, I could not overlook how uncomfortable I felt while I was in the store for all of 20 minutes. I had stopped in to grab a book to read while I’m on the beach, and in the little time we were in the shop, I felt that one of the employees working there was following me and my boyfriend around. Both of us are black. It was very hard to ignore and made me uncomfortable, so I put down the books I wanted to purchase and left. I understand that OCNJ doesn’t have a high black population but racial discrimination is still illegal. To be an owner of a book shop (when the entire purpose of books is to learn about other cultures, experiences and people) I expected more.
