“As they name of this shop implies, this business offer a very nice array of Antiques and Collectables. They are located right in the heart of the Santa Cruz Shopping District on Pacific Avenue. So, they are easy to find. And, of course, there is tons of parking surrounding this area, so that should never be a problem. Once you walk into the store you will find tons and tons of all kinds of stuff. Items like their jewelry and small things like that are keep in glass cases, so they are easy to look at and study. And, of course, they will take them out for you if you want to analyze them closer. Plus, they have all kind of others things. A never-ending, always changing variety of all kinds of antique items. One of the fun things that I saw at this shop on my last visit was they had a great collection of Asia orientated magazines from the 1950s in excellent condition. You never known what you will find! The prices here are very reasonable. This is one of those shops that you can go into and buy that very unique gift or purchase that something that you never knew you needed.”

“The products in this Artisan Store are an agency of handmade expressions of great value--multiple assortments of artisan items. I have purchased numerous gifts, hand-formed jewelry, cards, delectables, fine art, and printed graphic art. Items for children to adults grace this well-lit, handcrafted, unique, bespoke, or custom-made location. The value is in the hands of the beholder!!”

“Such a great spot in Santa Cruz! Adore the variety of items they have here. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or find gifts for others. Love that they have mini variety options of some of their staples for gifts. They have a mix of local makers as well here, which is always nice when you want to shop local. Everyone here is always super sweet and they also host events sometimes too which is a blast! Highly recommend!”

“Beyond their mission, this store is a little gem! It has a variety of locally made and sourced goods from lip balm, herbs, candles and more! The best part is the quality of the products use high end ingredients and truly show the love and care when the team makes them. Take a gander and be sure to ask about their mission as well!”

“Santa Cruz Bay Company is a souvenir shop in Santa Cruz located right on the pier. There are many shops around but this was the only shop that had reasonable prices. Well, I can’t exactly say that because the prices are crazy high but they did have a nice beach sweater on sale so I bought 2. The customer service was nice, the young lady was nice to give us more info of things to do.If you’ve never been walk further down the pier and watch the SEALS!!”

“I love this gift shop, I really shouldn't go in to the shop. I don't walk out without spending a lot of money $$$ there. The selection of items are very unique and beautiful with a changing selection of gifts and that seems to attract me to the shop. The shop nicely organized the staff here is second to none. Prices are moderately priced for the market.”

“Surf Life was definitely the best shop to look for our souvenir hoodie at. Of course it's summer, but all our kids needed a hoodie because that's the thing these days. I liked Surf Life the best out of all the shops because this store had much more space to move around in. It felt much more organized than the other stores. They have a huge display of hoodies on their wall and not to mention, unique styles you could only find here! The staff was a delight. Very kind. They asked if we needed any help as we browsed at their selection. They have other clothing items such as sweat pants, tanks, t shirts, stickers, bags... and more than I can remember! When it was time to pay, my daughter wanted to wear her hoodie out (yup, in the hot summer sun) so they offered to cut off the tags for her and put her current hoodie in the bag. She loved how soft the inside of the material was and pretty much didn't take it off the rest of the trip. I liked the quality of the material and felt like it was worth every penny!”
