The Bead Shop

The Bead Shop has been a beloved destination for bead enthusiasts, jewelry makers, and creative locals since 1973. Located in Laguna Beach, this iconic shop sits just steps from the sand and overlooks one of the area's best surfing spots, making it as much a part of the coastal landscape as the waves themselves. The shop offers a carefully curated selection of gems, beads, and jewelry components that appeal to both seasoned artisans and beginners exploring their creative side. Beyond their extensive inventory, The Bead Shop provides hands-on experiences including jewelry-making classes, private lessons, and permanent jewelry services. They also host parties and private events for groups looking for a unique creative activity. The shop carries completed jewelry pieces, apparel, accessories, gift cards, and even candles, making it easy to find the perfect gift or supplies for your next project. Their jewelry kits are perfect for those wanting to start their beading journey at home. With a welcoming atmosphere that has attracted both local regulars and international tourists for decades, The Bead Shop combines the charm of a long-established independent business with modern services and a strong online presence. Open daily from 10am to 6pm, it's an accessible destination for anyone looking to explore their artistic side while soaking in the creative energy of Laguna Beach's vibrant community.
