Beach Island

Yes, this is a tourist shop ;- however after walking HB sidewalk sales of other clothing stores on the same street… which by the way with 40−50% off were mostly XS sizes… and still expensive… this store makes it affordable. Has a great selection of things and something for everyone. Only other place to buy inexpensive HB /​CA items is Wal-​Mart. So… take it for what it’s worth… get family members around country items here — they love them and that’s all that matters…

Please stay away from this place it’s a totally rip off I bought 5 t shirts when I washed them in cold water all the prints came off like fake tattoos I didn’t even put them in the dryer and it all came off please don’t waste your money at this place they will rip you off stay away

Very Good prices for a shop like this. GREAT selection. The employees are friendly and helpful. The prices are just right. I always bring people out of town to Huntington for the day and then here. They buy tons of stuff for back east. Also a huge bonus for a place like this is that they TAKE DEBIT /​CREDIT for SMALL PURCHASES. No $ 10.00 minimum. There is a sign that says $ 5.00 but if your kind to them they will waive it. No hassle. I’ve seen people buy JUST a fridge magnet here, no problem.

There has to be at least one designated souvenir shop at every touristy attraction, and it would seem that Beach Island is that shop on Main Street, HB. At least, it’s the biggest.
It’s that place where you’d take your out-​of-​town friends to get their obligatory seashells, fridge magnets, t-​shirts, hoodies, snowglobes, christmas tree ornaments, postcards, and all that other junk tourists love, that has «Huntington Beach», «Surf City», «OC», or «California» printed on it somewhere. You know, in case they need to prove they’ve been here. ‘Cause that would be so incredible, if they claimed they’d been to Huntington Beach, they’d be like «OMG I can’t believe it I saw Justin Bieber texting at the Pier and a huge shark came out of nowhere and bit off his left buttock!» and their friends would be like, «No Way», and they’d be like, «Way! Here’s my OC t-​shirt to prove it.» Then their friends would have to shut up, because the power of silkscreening is admissable in court.
They sell sunscreen here also.

Great place to bring people from out of town. Also, I think this is the only souvenier shop on Main St.
