Thrifty Beaches - we walked passed the store because we were on the other side of street and wasn't paying attention. - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

So many clothes yet none were actual standouts. They were priced like a consignment store so obviously more expensive than your average thrift store but the clothes did not seem to be well picked out or curated at all. You could find the exact same items at goodwill or salvation army for a fraction of the price. read more

This is a fabulous vintage thrift store. Anthony is the owner and he is welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Along with Mateo who is charming and clearly enjoys working there. What a great team to make you feel like you have tailored dressers to help you select some new fashion pieces. Great vibe music playing on a speaker and neat dressing rooms they have a handful of $10 tables for you to look through at your leisure to see what fabulous finds you uncover. I found a cool pac-man tie dyed shirt for $10. Lots of fun fashion for everyone. Come check them out and say hi to Anthony and Mateo. Thanks for a fun shopping experience! read more

I had a very disappointing experience dealing with Thrift Beaches and its owner, Adam. I initially contacted the business **more than three months ago** and shared photos of a large number of items I was looking to sell. Adam responded that he was interested in **all of the items** and communicated that he needed to "reserve" them. Based on that conversation, I expected there would be some follow-through. There wasn't. I followed up multiple times over the following months and received little to no meaningful communication. When I finally followed up again, I was asked to provide a price breakdown that I had **already shared previously**. What was particularly frustrating was the response to the pricing. Rather than simply communicating a counteroffer or explaining what he was willing to pay, Adam made comments mocking the prices I had provided. This was especially ironic because one of the items he specifically referenced had **already sold at the exact price I had originally outlined**. At that point, I told him directly that, as a small business owner, he could really benefit from improving his communication and the way he presents himself to people he is trying to do business with. Instead of addressing the very legitimate concerns about communication and professionalism, I was told that my comments constituted "microaggressions." That interaction really summed up the experience for me: months of poor communication, asking for information that had already been provided, dismissive comments about pricing, and then turning legitimate business feedback into something personal. There are plenty of small businesses where you can have a straightforward, respectful transaction. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. **A good social media presence can get a business attention, but attention and professionalism are two very different things.** read more

This is a fun new store, with Goodwill outlet-like vibes with the bins. The items in the bins are $10 each. The curated items on the racks seem to range from $20-$300 or more. The cashier was helpful with my questions. I will be back to check out new inventory. read more

If you haven't checked out Thrift Beach yet, you're seriously missing out. This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Santa Barbara for secondhand shopping, and for good reason -- the selection is genuinely impressive. What sets Thrift Beach apart from your typical thrift store is the quality and variety of what's on the floor. You're not just sifting through the same tired donations you'd find anywhere else. There's real curation happening here -- vintage pieces, unique finds, and items that actually feel special. Whether you're hunting for retro clothing, one-of-a-kind home décor, or something you didn't even know you needed, this place delivers. As someone who appreciates the Santa Barbara lifestyle, Thrift Beach nails the vibe perfectly. It feels local, laid-back, and unpretentious -- exactly what a great secondhand shop should be. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt, and more often than not, you walk out with something you're genuinely excited about. If sustainable shopping and unique finds are your thing, this is your store. Five stars without hesitation. read more
