A day of
digging in
Morro Bay.

Records, worn-in denim, odd little objects. There’s plenty to look through in this small town by the water.

Notes for the rummage

Look a
little closer.

The useful part of buying old things is knowing what to check.

Wooden vinyl record bins and collectibles inside Beachcomber Vintage
Record bins at Beachcomber Vintage.
A.

For the record diggers.

Check the actual vinyl, not just the sleeve. Look for warps and scratches under a light, and ask whether you can listen if condition matters. Bring your want list, but leave room for a record you’ve never heard of.

Find the shops on the map
B.

Try it on. Check the seams.

Vintage size labels don’t tell the whole story. A few measurements from something you already wear help. Check underarms, collars, zippers, and hems; decide which repairs you’re happy to take on.

C.

Turn it over.

The underside of a bowl, lamp, or piece of furniture can tell you more than the front. Look for maker’s marks, old repairs, chips, and missing parts. Ask what has been tested before taking home old electronics.

Make an afternoon of it

A few shops.
Then the water.

You don’t need to visit every shop in one go. Start on the boulevard, take a turn onto Main Street or Beach Street, and head down toward the Embarcadero when you’re ready for a break.

Open the boulevard walk

The loose plan

  1. 01

    Start on the boulevard

    Browse Vinyl Isle, Achievement House, and Foxy’s, then head down to Beachcomber, Treasures, Castaways, and Divers.

  2. 02

    Keep going toward the water

    Tara Lee’s is farther down the boulevard. Detour to Grandma’s on Main or ThrifTide on Beach Street before a break by the bay.

  3. 03

    Save room for another stop

    Try The Good Flea and Nifty Thrifty on Quintana Road, or make a separate trip to the antique shops on North Main and Atascadero Road.

The walking link runs from Vinyl Isle to Tara Lee’s, via Foxy’s, Beachcomber, and Divers. Quintana Road and the north-side shops are separate trips. Check current hours before setting off.
