Thank you so much Charles for keeping Beach Pawn f.k.a East Coast Music alive all these years- "Where a Fast Nickel, Beats a Slow Dime!". I was saddened to see the old storefront shuttered and happy to see you have just relocated. East Coast Music Beach Pawn was an institution for local musicians back in the day and many now famous artists walked through thier doors. I have a million stories and memories of this place that are precious to me and my friends. Bantering with Jerry, Lee, Jason, Josh, and Steve was always fun and even as little kids, they treated us with respect. A favorite pastime of ours was "testing" all the guitars and amps.

I would recommend coming here if you are on vacation to check out the other boards and items in the shop. Also I was confused about certain parts of getting a skimboard and the guy there was knowledgeable and helpful with the...

I quickly let him know, I wasn't there to discuss the worth of the bike. I had accepted the price we agreed to. After that he turned out to be VERY NICE and HONEST. I wanted a bike for the beach. He explained that his bike wouldn't be good for the beach. He recommended other places to look & what to look for and use on it once I get one. I would definitely buy...
