Sea Hive Station

Score one-of-a-kind finds at this shopper’s paradise, a warehouse-sized bazaar brimming with vintage and new clothing, antique, mid-century and modern furniture, housewares, imports, jewelry, art, garden items, and cool knick-knacks.

Already a standout when it opened in 2021, the store hosts 150 San Diego-based individual vendors selling handmade and handpicked items ranging from retro jeans and jackets to gorgeous area rugs to throw pillows and hundreds more carefully curated local goods.

Roam through Sea Hive Station and delight in the diversity. Thumb through restored books at Gentleman John Books and Readeasy; check out timeless, plus-size clothing at WAH Boutique and vintage tees at Electric West; textiles from Petra de Luna, and don’t miss La Loupe Noir, a fashion and lifestyle booth dedicated to the love of the gothic subculture. Each mini-storefront is curated and artfully displayed. All selections have wallet-friendly price points, leaving room for a return trip.

Almost double the size of the South Oceanside original (at 23,000 square feet), Sea Hive Station invites shoppers for a day of discovery. The emporium boasts an outdoor garden center and holds an outdoor Vintage and Makers Market from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on the second Sunday of every month, right in Parking Lot E with live music, and food trucks.

Also join Sea Hive Station for its monthly vintage clothing bargain blowout! Every third weekend (Friday through Sunday), the marketplace opens up the loading dock and sets up racks and racks of vintage clothing from every decade. Most items run under $20. Admission is free.

With their purchases, customers are supporting artisans and their small businesses, benefitting the local community. Sea Hive Station, at 2750 Dewey Road, #103, is one of four Sea Hive locations throughout San Diego County. Open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. Call (619) 310-5099 or visit shopseahive.com.
