One of the things I love most about Laguna Beach is the variety of quaint stores and unique shops downtown. From home decor and jewelry to surfboards and sun hats, here are my favorite local spots to shop, browse, and find gifts for friends, clients—or myself! If you’re curious about the neighborhoods surrounding these amazing shops, check out my Top Neighborhoods in Laguna Beach Guide for a deeper dive into the area.
Tuvalu
Tuvalu is my go-to home store for beautiful coastal decor, furniture, and unique gifts. From beachy plates and mugs to artwork and coffee table books, Tuvalu embodies the relaxed Laguna Beach lifestyle.
Pro Tip: This is the best spot for thoughtful closing gifts for clients—or a decorative treat for your own home!
gorjana
gorjana is my favorite jewelry store in Laguna Beach—lightweight, delicate pieces perfect for layering or gifting. Whether I’m dressing for work, a night out, or just want to treat myself, I always find something special here.
Pro Tip: Their Amara ring set and layering necklaces are must-haves for anyone who loves classic style.

The Shop at Laguna
The Shop at Laguna is the place to find fashionable, unique clothes, sunglasses, shoes, and sun dresses for any occasion. I even found my favorite pair of Levi’s jeans here!
Pro Tip: This is the perfect boutique for gifts for the fashionista in your life—or a shopping splurge for yourself.
Hobie Surf Shop
Hobie Surf Shop is a must-visit for classic Laguna Beach style. I always find great bikinis and boardshorts for the family, plus tees, graphic shirts, and their famous hand-shaped surfboards.
Pro Tip: Even if you don’t surf, the board display is worth a visit—and they always have something fun for kids!
Vertigo Home
Vertigo Home is the spot for unique decor, mid-century and modern furniture, and fun gift inspiration. Their Izipizi glasses, custom upholstery, and creative art pieces make it feel like a mini museum.
Pro Tip: Looking for something original for your home or a gift? Start here—your artist friends will thank you.
If you’re thinking of buying or selling your home in Laguna Beach, I’d love to take you to South of Nick’s and show you what makes this community so special!
