Swings N Things

We stopped in this shop to rent bikes after the store next door’s sign sends you into his store where the owner tells you rather abruptly that he doesn’t rent bikes and to go next door – great marketing for his neighbor because his unwelcoming tone gets you to leave quickly and go next door where you are greeted by the most pleasant person who goes out of his way to provide stellar customer service, a map, and great advice about where to ride. We had a great day riding and will absolutely go directly to the first shop and rent bikes again next time we are in PB. Swings N Things is the place to rent bikes on the boardwalk!

Stopped in here tonight on a whim as the store next door closed randomly really early
And glad we did! The store clerk was so helpful and pleasant and directed to us on the best places to go in PB
He wrapped everything wonderfully so It could be put on a plane.
Great locally crafter items and souvenirs
I’ll rent a bike there next time too

Always an enjoyable experience with the staff. The beach cruiser bicycles are comfortable. I like that they offer a lock to secure the bike while I stop to eat or to simply enjoy the beach.

If you’re anywhere near Mission Beach in SD, go rent a bicycle or buy stuff from this guy. He couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Literally. No one could. Jesus would’ve given us more attitude. Plus, our bike rental was only $ 7/​hr! Sure, the bikes aren’t the newest ones you can get, but then you don’t look like such a tourist riding around. The world needs more human beings like this guy.

Finest palm frond masks in all the land!
And everything else hanging on their walls is one of a kind.
It’s a colorful and quirky
place that makes the
Crystal Pier scene
a fun and unique place in SD

Nice cute shop! Very friendly owner. Lots of knick knacks there. We bought a kite and were amazed by the wide variety they had there. Only downside it was a tad pricy at $ 25 but what do you expect when you’re right off the beach?!

After a stressful weekend I was in need of a break from life. So with an invitation from my girlfriends we decided to head out and rent a beach cruiser to go riding along the boardwalk. So bummed out about the first place we went to rent the bikes was closing at 7:30pm it would only give us ½ hr worth. We decided to go for a walk anyways. Then we came upon a little cute store called Swings and Things with some cruisers in front so we asked him about the price but unfortunately he was closing also. To our surprise he offered to let us rent it out anyways for an hour! How nice was that? We gratefully thanked him and went on. The shop is so cute they sell beach/​souvenir stuff and not to mention the person who helped us out was super duper friendly. The only downside is there’s not that many beach cruisers to choose from but we didn’t mind since we just wanted to relax and go for a nice ride. But we would definitely be back the next time to rent again. Plus it only cost us $ 7 for an hour to rent it

The girls and I headed out to PB yesterday evening with a plan to rent some beach cruisers and take a ride along the boardwalk. What we didn’t know is that most bike rental places close in the early evening. Bummer! We decided we wouldn’t let that ruin our evening and walk instead.
So we started on our walk and that’s when we happened upon this cute little shop, which sits right on the boardwalk. They sell all sorts of cute things (kites, picture frames, photo albums, postcards, plush toys, windchimes, etc) and then I noticed that they also had bikes to rent so I asked the owner (I think he was the owner, anyways) what time they closed. He said they closed in 45 minutes, but he would be more than happy to stay late to let us get in an hour bike rental. How sweet!
We grabbed the bikes and off we went. The bike ride was fabulous and we were so happy that Swings N Things accommodated us! We will definitely be back to rent from them again, and hopefully next time we’ll get a longer bike ride in.
