Treasures by the Bay

Took my parents on vacation and went to this shop. Best prices, great service and selection. Brett was kind and helpful and friendly. Shop is clean and has excellent photo ops with the chair and a giant shark inside. Great brands and quality products.

Best prices and good vibes. Kiki is absolutely the sweetest. She helped us find the perfect gifts for each person we wanted to purchase for. The store is well organized, great music playing, and she even took our family foto on the giant red chair outside. I’ll be bringing all our visitors back here.

We stopped to take a family picture at Treasures by the sea and the owner was absolutely sweet! He took our picture.. told us about the store… and talked for a bit! The store has a great selection and the sweatshirt I bought was so soft. I highly recommend this place! Great stop … from Connecticut!

Best store on the boardwalk! Found better quality for a cheaper price. Brett was super helpful as my daughters tried on so many hoodies (I think it was 28). Watched him patiently fold the 27 we didn’t buy. Totally coming back.

Treasures by the bay has amazing prices but the reason I am leaving the review is because of how nice and relaxed it is. The shops had bustling crowds and similar stuff. This store has a huge selection and great quality. The gentleman working here was super helpful and helped pick out gifts for my entire family. This is a one stop shop for everything souvenir wise.

this is the best store ever. if you got anything bad to say, you need to check your self, THIS STORE IS AMAZING!

This place is amazing! Super cute store with extremely friendly staff. Brett was so helpful.. he helped my mom find exactly what she was looking for, and was so kind in the process!

Brett is an amazing guy! My husband and I had a bike dilemma and he was gracious enough to help us out!
Shop has great items and gifts...Prices can't be beat.
You need to visit this shop while in Mission Beach!!!

The shop owner was awesome he let me pick a song and was super chill. Excellent prices with good merchandise.

5 well earned stars. This shop is propiated by a man of upstanding neighborhood reputation.

We bought some stuff (prices are, indeed, better here), during which time we conversed refreshingly regarding photography (vis. photos taken on vicinity), self-reflection (vis. alcoholism), apparel (vis. my redress), and economics (vis. the aforementioned prices).

Having enjoyed myself, I'm left feeling the need to say something but not having anything in particular to say, which I feel I have accomplished.

Rendered thusly.

The owner is very friendly and great customer service

The staff is very friendly good vibes. They have a variety of souvenirs, clothing,, and cute knick knacks to choose from. Will be visiting again soon.

Brett is an awesome dude!!! Great Store, lots of good merchandise!!!

Brett was super cool and helpful! There’s something in here for everyone!

Amazing selection and awesome prices! Friendly staff too 😁 👍 thank you!!

My daughter and her friends went into this shop and came back and told me what happened. She told me about 7 of her friends went in including herself. No one else was in the shop except for the cashier. They were looking at the bracelets and one of her friends walked away holding one to look at something else. The cashier came up and told them to leave it on the counter. He then told my daughter and her friends that he didn’t think they were going to buy anything because they didn’t have any money. My daughter asked to but the bracelet right after. While she was paying the cashier said he knew how groups of kids turned out. My daughter told him they weren’t going to steal anything and he replied “yeah okay” sarcastically. While my daughter was handing the cashier her card he asked why she was shaking so much. She has a condition and does not like it being pointed out. Overall not a great experience they were accused of stealing and my daughters medical condition was made fun of.

DO NOT TAKE KIDS IN HERE!! We walked in and guy was sitting in a bean bag chair obviously inebriated. After we asked about a bathroom for a child to use and he refused and start calling us names in front of 5 young kids under the age of 10. We quickly walked out and headed down the road. He started following us calling us names down the street, our kids were terrified. He followed us after we made it to the boardwalk and was still screaming at us. Finally a kind person helped us get lifeguards to stop him from following us. Our kids were terrified and not understanding why someone would call us such awful names and chase us down the road. We fully intended on purchasing items but felt unsafe and decided to leave which is why he was upset, because we chose to leave the store without buying his wares. This is unacceptable behavior especially in front of children. After we spoke to security they informed us he’s had issues before. He obviously thinks he is able to treat people poorly and be inconsiderate.

This is a real review. I’m not a local who knows the shop and trying to boost its reputation by leaving a shiny review based on nothing. My adult children were just ushered out by the cashier accusing them of stealing. This was after he did some other “Jekyll and Hyde” kind of stuff. Example: “Hey. Choose a song to play over the speakers.” (Young man chooses song and cashier almost immediately skips the song choice with a negative comment).
It’s cool to be a quirky dude, but not in a negative way when you’re hosting a shop in a touristy area. I see at least one other real customer review in the comments with a similar experience.
So, if you’re going to this shop:
1. Choose music that the cashier approves of. He’s a very wise connoisseur of shop music.
2. Don’t let your thieving children spend money here. Your business is not needed.

Take more/less of your medicine. Smoke more/less of whatever. Hire someone to be a welcoming host to your customers. Move your shop away from the touristy areas to a little outoftheway hole where you won’t have to deal with annoying customers.
You are a tiny minority of “uncool” in a part of the world full of kind, relaxed, fun loving people.

I had an appointment to drop bags off with through Radical Storage and no one was there. The shop was closed. Google shows hours of operation as 8a-8:30p.
