Seaport Village Shell Company

Extremely impolite and unprofessional service. The goods are nice but I was disrespected.

Great little shop for cheap cute gifts and inexpensive jewelry.
I thought this place only sold tacky shell art, but actually the novelty shells were pretty cool and I particularly enjoyed looking through all the jewelry, although most of it is on the cheaper side. Still, it was cool to pick up some luminous shell-​paneled bangles for $ 1.50 each and ¾-​inch shell stud earrings for $ 3.50. They had some fancier dangle earrings with colorful shells laid in for around $ 16, which were very beautiful and unique.
They had mini handbags covered in shell slices, like big sequins, which were pretty unique.
Postcard selection was surprisingly awesome. A few weeks ago I stopped into multiple San Diego drug stores and was disappointed with their paltry (and ugly) selections. I wish I had known that this store has probably the best selection of postcards around, featuring lots of areas in San Diego, and only 30 cents to 50 cents each.

Great shell shop!!! This place has cool coral, excellent huge shells, sea fans and the works. it’s sort of a novelty shop, but higher-​end beachy feeling merchandise that you may want to take home.
This store was cool enough that I went back!

Lots of cool sea shell, coral, and nautical-​related products, jewelry, necklaces, and home décor items such as wind chimes, ornaments, and prints.
You can also get post cards here — which is where I got a couple to send off in the mail.

I would have loved this place when I was 7. They have lots of pretty shells you can buy for the budding shell collector. I don’t know what shells run these days, but you can impress the young whippersnapper in your life with souvenirs from here and get your money’s worth, too. 15 cents each for this one kind of pretty shell, $ 2 for a tiger spotted conch, etc. Better than a bag of random scoops of rocks from a fake gold mine like at other tourist traps.
Of course you have to skip the tacky shell crafts but thankfully that’s at a minimum compared to other shell stores.
