Beach Town Books

Every time I've looked for a used book they've had it. At a pretty good price! I texted this morning and she texted back saying they had it and it was put away for me for several days. They're great!

This is the cutest and best run used book store I’ve ever been to. The selection in here is INCREDIBLE and the staff are impressively knowledgeable about what they have in stock. They go through the time of helping you find a book similar to what you were looking for if they don’t have what you wanted in stock. Bought two books for $16! Very affordable. If you’re a new customer you get your fourth book free! :))

I have been to many used bookstores across the country and I am not sure I’ve seen one with as beautiful a sunset view as Beach Town Books! What a wonderful shop. The employees were so friendly. The book selection was very strong. I collect history and railroad books and the collection they had was very good. I walked out with three banker boxes of books to take home. Why so many? Well, because I have a book problem. But, the pricing structure of Beach Town is very affordable. Most books are half off the listed price. And, every fourth book you purchase is free. I cannot stress how friendly the staff was. Numerous times, they answered phone calls and put callers on hold to walk the aisles and check if a book was in stock. Their recommendation game was strong, too! I hope that locals and visitors alike continue to give patronage to Beach Town. Small, family-owned shops dispensing literary knowledge are a cultural asset for a town. So, if you are anywhere near San Clemente, give them a visit. **Covid protocols** All guests are masked and limited entry but that was never an issue. They will happily clean and disinfect every book if you choose.

Great little used book store, super friendly and helpful staff. They didn't have some of the titles I was looking for, but overall a great selection. They also have $5 bundles for anyone looking for last minute gifts or stocking stuffers.
