Hi, I’m Julie Bell owner of TSHINTA (Aboriginal for "place in the sun").

In 1987, I opened TSHINTA in Port Douglas, in Australia’s tropical North (then a sleepy fishing village). We are still in Port Douglas today - now it is a major tourist destination.

After 15 years of catering to every woman’s fashion needs, I decided to simplify and now only carry beachwear.

Lets face it "that’s all a girl needs in the tropics!" We now stock exclusively SEAFOLLY as they are Australia’s premier beachwear label and of the highest quality. In fact we were the first exclusively SEAFOLLY store in the world.

Towards the end of 2003 I became adventurous and decided to "embrace technology" and have now developed a very secure and successful internet presence.

I hope you have fun shopping with us.

Julie and the tshinta girls!
