Toy Stores in Manhattan Beach, CA

“This shop not only took the extra time to help me learn about this new hobby but gave me real world tools and tips to getting me to paint. I really can not thank Oscar enough for teaching this noob how to set up my own WAAAGH!”

“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives Thriller Series, I always enjoy visiting standout bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble in Manhattan Beach is a super nice location.

The store has a broad, open layout with lower shelving that lets you see across the space, giving it a welcoming and easy-to-navigate feel.

There’s a huge children’s area along with a very nice café space. One detail that stands out is the wraparound mural featuring well-known authors, which adds character and makes the interior feel more engaging.

The overall setup is clean and thoughtfully designed, making it a comfortable place to browse and spend time.

I also spent a few minutes in the romance section while writing The Maui Desire Romance Series, and it’s a well-organized area that fits nicely alongside the thriller shelves.

The staff has been friendly and helpful, and the surrounding shopping center is very well kept with plenty of parking, which makes visiting easy.

Overall, it’s a strong Barnes & Noble in Manhattan Beach with a great layout, inviting atmosphere, and a solid selection.”

“I love this store! Their clothes are organic and made in Los Angeles! Super cute and comfy kid's and women's clothing, toys and home/kitchen stuff etc. I highly recommend if you are into the natural/sustainable living or looking for adorable baby gifts!”

“✨ 5 Stars – A Hidden Gem in Manhattan Beach! ✨

I had the absolute pleasure of discovering Bella Beach Kids during a private event, and I can honestly say it’s so much more than a kids’ store — it’s a treasure trove for everyone! They carry an incredible mix of kids’, women’s, and men’s items, including beachwear, luxurious lotions, soaps, Parfum, creams, and even exquisite jewelry. Truly, everything you can think of under one roof!

During the event, I was gifted samples from Atelier Rebul Istanbul, including the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, perfume, and hand & body lotion — and I completely fell in love. The scent is beyond amazing, and today I returned to purchase the full-size products, especially the shampoo and conditioner. They’re perfect for traveling and feel so luxurious.

A special shoutout to Marinés, the manager, who was warm, genuine, and incredibly welcoming. Her energy made me want to stay and just enjoy the space — and trust me, I’m not usually a shopper. But this store is different. It feels like a little oasis.

If you’re anywhere near Manhattan Beach Boulevard, this store is a must-visit. After shopping, you can stroll down to the pier or grab a bite at one of the many nearby restaurants. You can easily turn your visit into a perfect beachside day.

Thank you again, Marinés — you made my day extra special! I’ll definitely be back.”

“I had a great experience at Children’s Orchard. The clothes I gave up were in perfect status and even though i did not get what I was expecting in return I did get a fair price for most of my items.
I traded a big bag of clothes worth $70-$80 to get a shoulder mount and a bilingual toy. Toys were cheap too and in good shape! I will definitely come back.”
