Venture Gallery presents the work of Linda Elling , our featured artist for June, whose paintings celebrate the incredible beauty of the Monterey Peninsula and Central Valley. Venture Gallery is now open daily, 10am-6pm, at 260 Alvarado Street.

BookBuyers Monterey is now Lighthouse Books! We are the same great bookstore - still buying, selling, and trading books and movies - but now we have a new name and are fully independent and locally owned. Visit us at 600 Lighthouse Avenue.

On The Beach Surf Shop has new swimwear in the store. Stop by and check out our bikinis from L*Space, Billabong, Roxy, Body Glove, and Volcom. Locally owned and operated, you can find us at 693 Lighthouse Avenue.

The Lighthouse District would like to give a belated welcome to I Heart You Candles and Gifts , which opened at 329 Lighthouse Avenue this winter.

All candles are hand poured by shop owner Sherry Devine using Golden soy wax and cotton wicks and feature beautiful flowers, inspirational charms, and amazing scents. They contain no zinc, iron, or lead.

There are always a variety of candles on hand at the shop (both decorated and plain), but if you're looking for something specific you're welcome to design your own candle - Sherry is happy to make one (or many) just for you.

It’s that time of year when we replace our demo fleet at Workhorse Bicycles. We have various sizes of Giant TCRs and Defys available....and there will be more bikes in different sizes available soon. Come on down to check out the sweet deals at 486 Washington Street.

It's dress season, and Plato's Closet at 402 Lighthouse Avenue wants to pay you cash for your gently worn dresses. We love mini, midi, and maxi dresses from brands like Urban Outfitters, PacSun, Free People, H&M, Forever21, Wild Fable, and more.
