north coast antique

After beachcombing, antique hunting is the next best way to bring home a souvenir of your visit to the Long Beach peninsula. How about a side chair or a vintage lamp that will remind you every time you see it of that magical time on the Washington Coast? Find a treasure for a favorite niece's birthday, or do all your Christmas shopping in one day AND reduce your carbon footprint by recycling your finds. I always pick up books to read when we come to the beach, and on a recent visit, a set of beautiful autumn-colored tapestry valances (for $6.50!) I carry a list of the things my family collects as well. Since all of us get to the coast during our vacations, we have all received presents bought here, and the stories of how we have found things are as dear to us as the objects themselves. The vast warehouse of nooks and crannies that is North Coast Antique is full of collectibles, oddities, rarities and kitsch. A 50's board game, a kitchen sink, a vintage wedding dress, things we never knew we wanted can be found for the looking. Get in touch with your inner pirate and dig for your own treasure. Wear comfortable shoes and maybe a sweater in the cooler months. Enjoy!
