BEACHED — Local services in Long Beach Township

He said he didn't care and would be making a sign so that no one takes pictures in the store. I immediately walked out. I will never go back nor will I take any visitors to the...

I love this shop! The people are so friendly and helpful, and they have such a tasteful and unique assortment of beach inspired home goods. While their original location in Bay Village was fun, shopping in a ship, the smaller new location is easier to shop. It is more intimate, and allows you to enjoy the artistry of the items they sell, rather than be distract by the location. It is better to be know for what you sell than where you sell. There isn’t anything in this store that I wouldn’t want...
