Where it is
Get directionsCaptain Jax
Captain Jax is an ice cream shop and comic shop in one, at 24 Palmetto Bay Road, Suite G. It is named for the owner’s pet chihuahua, a little pirate with a big personality, and the whole store has that playful, nostalgic feel. Inside, pink and blue stools sit in front of the counter, and the shelves behind them are full of comics, toys and trading cards.
What to Get at Captain Jax
The ice cream is Blue Bell, with more than twenty flavors scooped at a time. Reviewers mention Happy Tracks, Superman, Orange Blossom and strawberry cheesecake. If you want something warm, there are mini pancakes and bubble waffles, and there is a boba tea menu you can customize. The shop says it is peanut-free with the exception of Moose Tracks ice cream, and it also has dairy and wheat alternatives.
Comics, Cards and Arcade Games
The shop is also a real comic store. You will find new releases, older back issues, graphic novels, Funko Pops, vintage toys, sports cards, and singles and booster packs for Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana and One Piece. Reviewers also mention a small gaming area and a few free one- and two-player arcade machines, including Pac-Man, so it works for kids and for anyone who wants to browse while the ice cream melts.
Hours and Getting There
Captain Jax is a walk-in shop with no reservations.

It sits away from the crowds of the big shopping centers. More places to eat are on the Hilton Head restaurants page and in the dining guide.
