This is a really great bookstore, and I just wish I'd been able to spend more time in it. It's got…read morea pretty good location as well, being 4 or so block from the beach. 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.

This sweet little bookstore really touched my heart today. That is so truly unusual. My son saw the…read morebookstore when we were walking around town but we missed the closing time two days in a row. My son loves books and bookstores so we made an effort to get there today. We walked in 5 minutes before closing because I missed that they closed at 4 when I had remembered 5 (my issue). The staff politely let us know it was almost closing time. The staff was thoughtfully helping people with suggestions for different books and were pretty busy as the whole town was hopping. My son picked out a book that he knew he would like and another that he thought maybe was less important and decided on the sure thing. He then realized he didn't have his wallet. That was fine as I was happy to buy the book. When we got to the counter the staff told him about a program that gives books to special young men in memory of a special man who had died, from his family. My son has struggled with social situations and skills because of a developmental disability his whole life and the staff did so well with him and he was so happy with that book. He reassured them that we were happy to buy the book but they let him know about this young man and his family and that they wanted to do this. Honestly so incredibly impactful and sweet. I hope the family of that man is able to know how important their gift is.

Love this local, independently owned bookstore in the heart of Cannon Beach. The store has an…read moreimpressive collection of books thoughtfully curated and arranged in super helpful categories like "great beach read," which for those of us visiting the coast, sometimes we want an easy, light and entertaining read. I particularly enjoy perusing the large assortment of "staff picks," a great introduction to titles and authors not on my radar. The store has an easy and welcoming flow with shelves along the perimeters and round and rectangular tables in the center with books arranged by certain topics. It's election time so one table dedicated to current and past elected officials. Lots of current titles, gorgeous "coffee table" books with amazing photography, and classics. I always find something or many things here! All Covid precautions being implemented; you must use sanitizer when you enter wearing a mask. And limited number of customers In store. Other than that, it's book store browsing business as usual.

Shared parking lot spots and street parking were full by Cloud & Leaf Bookstore. I found a spot a few blocks away, which made for a pleasant walk.

Easily this would cost more back home. Happy with this purchase.

Definitely we preferred Godfather's Books & Espresso than another indie bookstore we had visited…read morethe day before (6/20/25). Disregard the brief Yelp description, this indie bookstore has a vast selection of titles organized by subject/genre (a potential treasure trove) and a variety of merch. The Homie honed in on three books reflecting his interests in military aviation, history, and Chinese cooking. The latter was a great vintage Time Life collection title. I seem to continue my streak of locating unique or sought out titles while on holiday. Last summer it was a French cookbook in Newport, OR. Here in Godfather's cookbook room, I found The Slanted Door. The James Beard winning author/chef had passed away earlier this year and I never received my copy from a TX bookseller via a distributor. Godfather's has that signature indie bookstore vibe, great titles to pore over, and really nice staff who treat both regulars and visitors with genuine warmth. A worthy detour while in Astoria!

Nice service and a good selection of books. However both times I've visited I've found some pretty…read moreadult books shelved in the kid's section. An employee mentioned that there's no cataloging system which is evident. Someone needs to be screening books for adult content before placing them next to books for 8-11 year olds.

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.

Always happy to chat or help you find something. They've got a nice mix of new and used books for all kinds of readers, and I really liked browsing their section on local authors and regional stuff--it's the kind of thing you don't find everywhere. What really makes the place stand out, though, is how much they care about community. They host book clubs, author talks, and other events that give people a reason to come together and share their love of reading. It's not just a bookstore--it's a gathering place. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby. Support a good local business!
