Readers’ Choice 2026: Best Shopping
Here we go! It’s time to vote for Readers’ Choice 2026 best shopping. From boutiques and surf shops to gift stores and artisans, this is your chance to show some local love to the businesses and people you love to buy from.
Voting Period: October 25 – November 24
Winners Announced: December 5
Vote in the categories that matter most to you; there’s no need to complete them all.
You can vote once per category each day, and voting resets every day at 8 am AST. If you vote in the same category more than once with the same email, the system ignores the extra votes. The captcha also filters out fake email addresses.
You can use more than one email address but keep it reasonable. In order to prevent fraud, the system tracks the connection each vote comes from, and a lot of votes from one connection looks like spam. If that happens, the system could block everyone using that connection. We know family, roommates, and bar customers often share wi-fi, so one person who votes over and over with different emails could cost everyone on that connection their votes.
The polling system is independent of What’s Up Rincón.
Keep it real, support local, and cast your votes.
