Toes on the Nose

Our favorite surf shop in Laguna! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Had such a good time shopping in there! Will definitely be back!

Great shop with their own original designs, super-​friendly staff right off the beach. Highly recommended.

I’ve always enjoyed shopping here, but today they truly earned my business. Last year, I saw an item that I wanted to buy, but it was sold out for the season in my size. Today, almost 10 months later… I got a call from them. They’d gotten the item in, and were holding one aside in case I still wanted it… in my size and the color I’d wanted.
Impressive customer service. Thanks for setting the bar high, Vanessa. I’ll be back.

This place is great. A little over pricey but who cares. It’s right across the street from the beach. They actually have sizes that fit me too. I wear kids clothes and really small shoes but they had everything I would wear. Glad I decided to go in and try it out.
The cashier was extremely nice as well. She is very bright and friendly.

Such a cool vibe and great quality clothes! Employees very helpful. Love how they decorate their front window…

Great shop for any beach gear you need and unlike most surf shops, a lot of the stuff in there is their product. Another plus is the staff isn’t the usual too-​cool vibe you get at most surf shops. Good selection, friendly staff and great location.
I read Jenny and Yvette’s reviews and can’t help but think «where do these people come from?»

One of many surf shops in Laguna Beach — this one had the best jewelry selection (my friend bought two pairs of earrings and a bracelet). Huge selection of sandals/​flip flops that covered an entire wall. and a pretty well stocked swimsuit inventory. They have a pretty extensive line of Toes On The Nose gear and towels, soft board racks, and decals. Plus one extra star for having hottie employees, plus another star for the tiki bar cashwrap.

Okay. a little backstory on this one.
One overcast day, a friend and I decide we’re going to go sponge. This was during the time of El Nino so there were storm surges coming in all the time and we thought hell, that’d be fun to ride. So we hop into his little baby blue Bug, get our boards out and start riding. It pretty much sucks so we ditch the boards and decide to check out the tide pools. We’re looking at the urchins and anemones and I’m poking stuff with my finger when he asks, «Are you afraid of the ocean?» And I’m making that WTF face, but I turn to him and say, «No.»
Not three seconds after that, a wave washed up the reef and slammed me down and dragged me out. I was trying to claw my way back to shore, but I was pulled under and the last thing I saw was my friend standing there with his mouth open.
When I finally escaped, my arms were scratched up, my knees were bleeding freely and I was laughing like a completely maniac. My friend is in shock, I am in having the most violent laugh fest ever and I use his socks as tournequits.
[this is getting really long, so to make it short…]
He drives me back to PCH and I say let’s go there and point to Toes on the Nose. I go in, bloody and the girls are like AIIIIEEEE! I pick a pair of shorts really fast and go into the dressing room to shed sand, ripped shorts and a little bit of blood. :P
3 stars for helping a gimpy bloody foolish girl and having cute shorts available quickstyle.
