Wave Original Beach Club

Stay away from this place if you need beach gear. Their board shorts are made in China and quickly start falling apart. I bought two pairs of shorts, and the first pair’s pocket stitching started coming loose within a first few minutes wearing them! I later took the shorts back asking for an exchange. Since I took the tag off, they said no. I told them the shorts are obviously defective… they refused. So, I called my bank and got a credit for those shorts. BTW, those shorts were discounted from $ 50 to $ 25 like you are getting a deal. Uh, those shorts are probably worth $ 5. They are THAT cheap. Anyway, the second pair of shorts also had quality issues… Within minutes of wearing them, the mesh pockets opened up a huge hole and everything in my pocket would fall through the hole. Anyway, steer clear of this place for clothing!

Bad boys are racist

Huge variety of souvenir T shirts at reasonable prices found right at the northern end of Mission Beach (right next to Joe’s Crab restaurant & across the street from Ralphs).
The entire staff is very helpful also. They each stop what they are doing to walk all over the store to find what you are looking for.
Great selection of post cards also, it’s just too bad that they get salt air beaten with all the doors opened which face the ocean.
