What an interesting, niche place! We found several treasures among all the shells and geodes in this shop. The owner was nice and helpful. Our only complaint, and not much that could be done to fix this as there are no windows, is more light. Were wondering if maybe the building used to be a bar or something...
Walked in here on the morning after my 30th birthday. I have been looking for a genuine real place like this for a while. My heart went to this crystal here in the photo. Bought a few others too. Shared unforgettable stories with the family business and will always have a great memory of this shop and unique area. This shop is ran how itβs supposed to be. They donβt take advantage of trendy prices. Come here with good vibes only. Love P.
Highly Recommended! The owner is Amazingly nice and friendly! I will definitely be visiting again! We bought a few things and actually spent some time inside the store as there is so much to see! Ive been telling everyone about his store!!
Bibbeys is outstanding! My fiance and I were curious about the contents of the store, and we were not disappointed. Polished shells, natural shells, gemstones and minerals of all kinds. Reasonable prices on all of it. Chatted with the one of the owners Mike, who geeked out with us on pop culture (we had Star Wars themed masks on). Both gents were super kind, the shop was so uniquely cool, and if they couldnt be better, they pulled out dog treats when a dog and their owner came to visit. Just so cool and down to earth. We will be back just to say hello!!
I have no idea about the products or quality of the shop. However, my 13 year old daughter told me that an employee (possibly the owner from what Im told) put his hand on my daughters shoulder multiple times. She may look older than 13 but she absolutely doesnβt look like an adult. An identifier is his front teeth are damaged. An adult shouldnβt be touching a child anywhereβ¦. Donβt let your kids in this shop by themselves.
Cute shop, with lots of different seashells and fossils.... Find unique items here for a decent price... Kinda disappointed not to see more California shells available.
Nice shell shop with everything you can imagine. Great for gifts or souvenirs to take home...necklaces, bracelets, shells and more!
My girlfriend and I loved this place, we bought several items for a very, very good price. Were so excited to go back this summer.
Exceptional value and service.
Beautiful selection of shells and crystals, all really well priced. The cashier is so sweet and helpful.
The same its been for the last 20 years. Great interesting shells, fossils and trinkets.
I love this shop,haΓ very unique treasures!
I buy shells to use as decorations and always go here to get them. Great selection and reasonable prices. My last purchase was a nightlight for my bathroom which is very pretty. I reccomend this place even if you just want to window shop.
Unique, lovely gifts. Reasonable prices and great service
Such a charming little beach shop! It has lots of practically any type of covering you can imagine from all over the place as well as incredibly economical! It has great deals of various other enjoyable surprises like shark teeth/ jaws, pufferfish, arm bands/ necklaces,
Wonderful selection of shells and the owner very nice. I went in with a childrens book of shells and asked for an example of every shell listed. He spent considerable time picking out the nicest shells. I bought 3 of each for my young grandchildrenso the can learn from the book and the actual shell. They are thrilled. Parents took some to the beach and had the little ones find them. Great fun.
My children desired to come in and also check out this little gift shop. I can see the appeal for the little youngsters given that you can find some charming little coverings as well as perhaps s pendant. If youre looking for little ornaments for your kids though it may be fun for them and also conserve you some cents.
If you are in San Diego, you should go in this little place with all this beautiful little thing. Really pretty!
One of the coolest beach gift shops Ive ever been to. Definitely best in Southern Cali
Being a local I always go down to imperial beach and pass by the place but never actually go inside. The outside is super colorful but theres no windows and only a door to enter the place. The entry way ends up looking pitch black against the colored exterior. Which was why I was hesitant to step inside but finally I did and I cant stop coming back. I have a growing crystal collection and its just getting bigger. the workers are very kind and the quality is amazing as well as the price Ive been recommending this place to everyone.
I love going in here for great little gifts for family that lives in Kansas. The guy in there is always funny and friendly. Not expensive like some of the other knick knacks places around!
Great little shop for assorted sea shells, fossils and some minerals. They also sell jewelry made from the above items. Across the street from Imperial Beach Pier.
May i know your EMAIL address please?Thank you
Loved this place, definitely will go back. Bought myself a beautiful seashell mirror that fits perfect in my pool area! Luvit!
Ive been coming here since I was a kid, at least 20 years ago. Still the same family owned business. Great selection of shells and other fun souvenirs/gifts and prices are very reasonable. Definitely a must stop for the area.
This place is on the beach, been here for years! Cute, unique shell, beach, souvenirs, from chimes to necklaces! Reasonable prices!
I bought a lot of high-quality artifacts, mainly wood scruptures, figurines, and masks, etc, from Mr. Fidel over three to four years at their another store location. I enjoy their collections and Fidels friendship a lot. Keep going....
The best Shell and Gift shop in America... Very good prices is what I am talking about! Also, family owned, very helpful and great location!
Great selection of ocean themed accessories. Prices are affordable, owner is friendly and knowledgeable of local things to see and do. Off street parking.
