Seaside Souvenirs takes Paradise Gardens Park visitors back to the 1930s, to the height of glamorous beachside boardwalks. This stylized stand offers all kinds of goodies, from snacks and toys to character pens. And if you’re in need of some weather protection – rain or shine – Seaside Souvenirs has you covered. Grab some a spray fan, cover up with a poncho, and you’ll be back to your adventures in no time!
SHOPPING TIPS
Since Seaside Souvenirs is such an open shop, you’ll never struggle with overcrowding as you shop. The only trouble you might have would be a line to buy a spray bottle when it’s really hot outside, so if you think you’ll need one, buy it before midday. Otherwise, you’ll have no trouble exploring this old-fashioned souvenir stand.
TRIVIA
Before California Adventure’s major renovation project, this shop was known as “Souvenir 66”.
Check out the shelves above the countertops; you’ll see some magical sand castles!
Look closely at the mural on the wall…does that submarine look familiar? It’s the Nautilus, from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
Love this stand. They always have those spray fan bottles when it’s hot out.
That is so nice of you to say, John! Thank you so much. I have to say, it’s the little details that keep me excited about Disneyland, so I’m thrilled you enjoy them too.
