Torrid had a great clearance section. And Guess always has a lot of XS sizes. Which is depressing. The bathroom is at the intersection of the two sides and is large and clean. Lots of parking. We found they were open Sundays at 10, not 11, so check hours on the official website.

I've probably had more Moondoggies sweatshirts in my life than any other brand. It's kind of a…read moretradition to pick one up each time I visit. Sometimes I have too many still in rotation so I'll pick up a shirt or hat. I purchased my fair share of sunglasses and flip-flops as well, but the sweatshirts are definitely the best. Perfect beach ware for colder Pismo nights. The guys that work here are mixed. Some are incredibly friendly and helpful and others are kind of rude brah types. I get what I come for either way so it doesn't really matter. As other reviews have mentioned, they make great gifts as well. Even if the person you're giving the sweatshirt to doesn't know what the heck Moondoggies is, more likely than not they'll enjoy the sweatshirt. They have some great designs and they're very comfy Good product and great location if you're going to the beach.

Nice view

After I change into my new suit and put my items in my new purse (that I also purchased), I noticed the tag was still on the purse so I went to get it cut off. I then got accused of stealing the bag because the sensor was still on... how was I supposed to know that?! I then got a half-assed apology from the employee who FORGOT to take the sensor off. This small interaction really rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks for the cute swimsuit but that's about it!

I found in their store bikini bins in the back that were labeled $15. I rummaged around them and…read morefound cute top with some bottoms that kinda matched. When I went to go buy them the older lady in the store rung me up and told me I owed $79. I questioned her saying that I found both in the $15 bin, and she told me I was wrong and they were in the 30% off section. My boyfriend chimed in at this point and made a remark about that being false advertising, and the lady said, "no it's not." At this point I just told her I no longer wanted it and we left. However reflecting on this I know she was probably trying to scam me as even with a 30% off discount the top and bottom would not have been $79. Honestly don't shop here, it's overpriced and a waste of your time.

They also had really cute graphic tees that one day I do want to come back and get. We were greeted by either the owner or the staff member she was talking to other shoppers when we came in. We really didn't interact much. The dude was seriously all over the store loving the unique things inside. I did do a lot of exploring myself which was fun. The dude ended up getting a thing of sage. The store was very clean and organized. I spent a good chunk of time at the dresses section. I ended up getting a beachyyy type dress that was about $30. I am hoping they get more dresses in as the selection was small but beautiful. They definitely had very unique items even hats too! There are no refunds so buy wisely. The location is in a perfect location at the beach. Overall, the dude and I enjoyed ourselves here by doing a little shopping. Beautiful items, shirts, clothing and my favorites in general dresses! Stop in and check it out. I seriously want to cone back and get the "Only Men I trust" shirt.

There is a huge variety of unique items in addition to Pismo Beach themed souvenirs and beachwear. We picked up some beautiful quilled paper greeting cards, cute stickers, and hoodies when the temperature suddenly dropped. I had to rush out for an appointment before I could look through their seashells. It's a 4 hrs drive to get here so I called when we got back home to see if they could ship some seashells to me. I spoke to Minh who was so helpful in putting together a special package of shells to send me. This is such a quaint little shop that's filled with interesting curios and knicknacks. The staff is super friendly and it's easy to lose track of time when there's so much fun stuff to choose from. I love that my daughters will also have great memories of shopping at Pier Gifts.
