SOUTHEASTERN NC's MOST FAMOUS ICE CREAM PARLOR
COME GET SQUIGGLED!
The iconic Squigley's® building was constructed in the 1930's as a private home with a detached Model-A Ford garage. The building went on to become a beach boarding house for tourists, and eventually a house for soldiers on leave during WWII. In the 1980's, the building became a doughnut shop. After, the property was purchased in 1994 by Ann & Joe Coen and completely renovated into the pink & white ice cream parlor as it is known today. The popular parlor has successfully survived numerous hurricanes and dozens of competitors. In 2007, the owners converted the upstairs apartment and garage into one-of-a-kind gift shops.

The Squigley® is our trademark treat that has made us the most famous ice cream parlor in Southeastern NC, and the #1 rated ice cream parlor on Pleasure Island.
How it's made: The Squigley® starts with a base of real vanilla ice cream made from cow cream; powdered, industrial soft serve not served here! A Squigley®, we suggest, has up to 2 items, but no more than 3, items from a long list of delicious fruits, candies, and baked goods to be "Squiggled" into a custom flavor of ice cream using our patented Squigley® machines. Squigley's® are served in either a fresh, homemade waffle cone or a cup & topped off with a famous "you've been Squiggled" sticker!
We can make over 4050+ different flavor combinations of the Squigley®.
