Marlene’s Beachcomber on the Santa Monica Pier

Marlene’s Beachcomber has all the beachside essentials you may need when you’re visiting the Santa Monica Pier. From sunglasses and bathing suits to souvenir beach umbrellas and towels, you can find everything you need for a day at the beach here.

Marlene’s isn’t just beachside essentials though—what makes this shop unique is their Fishing for Pearls promotion, where you can pick your own oyster and have it opened in front of you to reveal a real saltwater Akoya pearl. Take your pearl home on its own or wear it in one of their pendant necklaces.

Marlene’s Beachcomber is located at 350 Santa Monica Pier, and while they don’t have an official website you can do a virtual tour of their shop here.
