A fun little, touristy store with LOTS OF STUFF! Toys, trinkets, key chains, stuffed animals,…read moregames, refrigerator magnets, collectible shot glasses, sunglasses, some neat old-time lunch boxes, and many items that say "Long Beach, WA" on them, the best kind of souvenir. We've been in the store a couple times over the years looking for tie-die t-shirts and hoodies, of which they usually have a great selection. The day we went "finding," we didn't see a single adult size tie-die t-shirt in the whole store (we searched the whole town that day, actually) so will have to try again at some point. The real draw, in my opinion, is the selection of kites. Really good quality too. The nearby beach is the perfect place to fly them too. We usually visit tourist beach towns like Long Beach mid-week when kids are still in school so we've never had an issue with spotty customer service. So many complaints from other Yelpers makes me think you reap what you sow. Many people come in with kids making noise and running all over the place, touching everything, etc. If I were a shop owner or worker I'd get a tad perturbed too. Just saying. Will definitely be going back to Stormin Norman's next time we're in town. ZOLTAR even meets you at the door and can tell your personal fortune for a small fee.

My daughter and I discovered this delightful fabric shop while we were soaking up some coastal…read moregoodness a few weeks ago. Did we need fabric? No. Did we leave with fabric? Maaaaaybe. (Okay, you called my bluff! Yes, we did.) Firstly, Center Diamond has a fabulous selection of fabrics and the prices are more reasonable than you'd expect. The fabric is sorted into themes and by color-- a feast for the senses! Maybe it's because I've spent most of my time at Joanns (R.I.P.) I was delightedly surprised that they carry flour sack towel fabric. It had never occurred to me to make my own kitchen towels! They have an extensive variety of tools and notions as well as fun vinyl decals to showcase one's sewing love. There's a great selection of patterns with finished samples for inspiration and several kits and a mahoosive selection of stackers, fat quarters, and jelly rolls. The staff was wonderful here! They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and fun. We bought a pattern and they even printed it out for us. My daughter and I can't wait to return! If you're a fabric crafter, do yourself a favor and stop into Center Diamond, you won't be disappointed!

Seaside is (in my opinion) one of the best beaches on the Oregon coast and lounging with a good book is not a bad way to spend the day. Beach Books is pretty large. It's not a single-genre bookstore, so you'll be able to find something here if you forgot your book! They had a sizable kid's section, which was pretty pleasing. I bet they also have books on local (Oregon coast/northern coast) history as well as general Oregon history. I know we'll visit Seaside again, and I'll have to check what events may be taking place. Parking is slim right near the store, but there are public parking lots nearby since folks wander around all the shops and restaurants in this area.

Bach & Rock was a shop we just stumbled across while we were out and about in Astoria. It was a…read morepart of downtown we haven't explored too thoroughly prior which is the explanation I am going with. This place is loaded with musical instruments, they sell CD's and other physical forms of music that have long stopped seeing new prints in a broad way. For movies they have DVD's, VHS and probably any other form of physical media I am not mentioning for movies. On top of that this place is kind of an incense heaven. The selection is huge and there were at least five different spots I found in the store where they had incense sticks. I bought quite a bit and was pleased with finding so many scents I don't normally come across. The atmosphere is quirky to say the least. Not only is their windblowing instruments everywhere, it's loaded with plants and other decor that definitely gives this place a unique signature. And of course the fact that a real parrot was here only enhanced that. And of course we had to swing by and say "hi" to the bird.

At the time of writing, there are no 3 star reviews and I was tempted to give one but I'm giving a…read more4 star review. First off, I'm the only person, apparently, to notice all the wind instruments in this place, mainly brass instruments. I don't think I've read another review that even mentions the wind instruments. HELLO! The place is packed with them...every shape size and sort. Lots of trumpets, alto/tenor horns (really cool), piccolo trumpets, trombones, valve trombones, tubas, at least one bassoon, and much more. I give it five stars for the instruments. Absolutely dazzling to look at. I asked the "guy" where they source them from and he shot back "all over the world." I plan to go back and buy a trumpet. Great incense section. And yes, the records, cds and tapes. Very impressive. I actually did not see a cat, dog or bird. And I lost part of my smell-o-factory from covid so I didn't smell any pet smells. So why the 4 star review and not a 5 star review? Well, it's an odd place and it is somewhat restricted. You can't browse the wind instruments really because they're in a closed off area. (Did I mention the brass instruments? They're amazing absolutely beautiful). It's an odd place, and maybe not the most welcoming, but to me I love the oddity. You'd be hard pressed to find any store any where like this one.
