On The Beach Surf Shop is celebrating their 40th anniversary on April 24. It's not every small, locally-owned retail business that can boast that kind of longevity.

Congratulations to owner Kelly Sorensen and his family for bringing 40 years of good vibes to surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders, skiers, and beach enthusiasts of all ages.

Stop by On The Beach at 693 Lighthouse Avenue to check out the new and retro OTB logo merchandise and celebrate with them.

Bad news: When it's dog vs. frames, the dog always wins.

Good news: InSight Eyewear repairs eyeglass frames! The frames pictured here survived with just a few scratches and a new string. The next time you have a glasses emergency, stop by the shop at 490 Lighthouse Avenue and we'll try to help you.
