This place was such a cute little spot. I've visited Morro Bay several times but I guess I never walked down far enough so I always missed this store. I'm glad I finally got a chance to check it out. The worker (I'm going to assume was the owner) was super sweet and very helpful. She was hand making bags to put all your goodies in and they were so cute. I ended up getting a few things so I got some that I'm going to regift. They have trinkets and gifts for every kind of person. There's cards, jewelry, art, products from locals and there was even a kid section. I found several things for myself as well as presents for others. I actually had to stop myself from spending too much, I wanted it all. This is definitely a store to check out - I'm sure they have something for everyone! read more

Smoobage! What a funny name! I googled it to see if it's surfer slang or something but couldn't find anything. Anyway, I got the cutest earrings here while on vacation. Stud earrings, one a star and the other one a crescent moon. They were a little pricey but anything made by local artists should be. They've gotta make a living too, ya know? The lady working there may have been the owner, I'm not sure. But she was nice and chatty which I like. I also got a little notebook for my purse which is super cute. I'll be sure to stop back in the next time I'm in town. read more

I love to pop into this store when we're in Morro Bay. Cute and eclectic stuff. They even have things for sale that others have handcrafted. Always support the local businesses when you can! I saw the cutest little (tiny, tiny) hand made dolls by the register other day. I picked out one for each one of my coworkers and they loved them! Only $1.25 each and they even had bendy legs! Too cute! Lots of jewelry items and wall decor. Many beach things! The lady at the counter (owner?) was super nice and friendly. I was traveling alone this visit and she let me carry my doggie inside. Check them out with every visit to MB, you never know what you'll find! read more

My husband and I walked the Embarcadero at night and one night we noticed this beautiful, colorful hanging light lighting up their display window. After several nights passing this widow, we decided to go in the following day. A pretty young girl was working and we inquired about the light and asked if she gave a locals discount which she did! I purchased it on the spot plus I also bought a Breathe Pure Aroma Diffuser. Smells so good and I love how it's also a light that changes colors. read more

This is the cutest shop we discovered in Morro Bay. Lots of unique items from all around the world but what we especially appreciated (and snapped up) were these amazing handcut (?) greeting cards -- see the pic! The owner is also so friendly and kind, she was making these little gift paper boxes by hand at the cash register and showed us the steps, it was really cool. She has a wonderfully fun and relaxed atmosphere in her shop. There are other Morro Bay shops like Smoobage but this is the best one! Ps our visit was last fall but we look forward to returning soon! read more
