Beads By the Bay is a full service bead store and garden shop, perfect for do-it-yourself-with-a-little-help beading and gardening. It is a cute and adorable shop, like a museum of beautiful tiny things that brings joy. The store has an amazing selection of beads, trinkets, jewelry, and jewelry making supplies from around the world, plus tools, findings, crystals, plants, pots, pottery, and fairy garden supplies. There is also a whimsical garden in the back with succulents, air plants, scented geraniums, and a little pond. The helpful and kind owner is lovely to talk with and will help with whatever is needed, including expert jewelry repairs done quickly and for a reasonably price. Visitors can create on site at the potting table or in the indoor/outdoor classroom space. A sweet shop cat loves to lounge in the back garden. It is a perfect place to pick beads, make a bracelet or a fairy garden, and feel very welcomed. Customers are encouraged to check it out and support this small business.
What a GEM of a store and the nicest woman working there. It’s a crafters paradise with beads from all over the world and some really amazing one of a kind treasures. Great place to browse and check out the back garden area!

Such a fun craft store! Beads, charms, and art from all over the world. Super high quality and unique items, I especially loved the little metal charms and pearls! Very reasonable prices and makes a great souvenir for you or someone crafty in your life. Cash or venmo accepted, so come prepared.
