6 reviews for Luna Sea
There are gazillion boutiques in the Bay Area and beyond but Luna Sea ("LUNACY"-very witty) is unique because of its location and the unique crafts that they sell. It is a very charming little cottage tucked away in a hidden little town called Pescadero along the coast. The owner is very friendly. It reminds me of a venue for a French or Italian chickflick.
Boyfriend is more sentimental than I am. Whenever we go to an event or out of town, he buys me little souvenirs that will remind us of that beautiful day or something that can go into our house.
Luna Sea is just a place for that: candles, jewelries, colorful glass cheese plates, hummingbird feeders, glass bubbles, cards, paintings of the local beaches, etc.
The best thing about this store: they sell crafts made by local artists which make them one of kind.
So, what did Boyfriend buy me for a souvenir? A big colorful glass bubble that I can hang on the window. Hopefully it will give us many years of pleasure that will remind us of our beautiful afternoon in Pescadero (if my butterfingers do not break them first!)
I'm a sucker for stores that come with a dog. This store comes with an older springer spaniel.
I didn't even realize the play on words of Luna Sea (Lunacy) until now. We walked all along the main drag of Pescadero (of course that took - what? a minute?) and Luna Sea was the nicest gift store.
Among Luna Sea's wares were:
-$20 soaps shaped like golden retriever and labrador puppies (can't tell them I'm a dog lover can you?)
-cool reversible heart necklaces with different patterns on each side
-lots of blown glass artsy things
Note that the Yelp map is ridiculously incorrect for this store.

Loved this store--my fave on the little downtown Pescadero strip. :-)
Highlights:
- The name: Luna Sea. How can you not love that?????? Play on words and double meanings rule. Just found out it's a Japanese rock band too: http://en.wikipedia.or...
- The art: ADORED--yes I'm shouting it--the one artist she highlighted. As you come in, it was on the far left wall of the room on the left. I'm kicking myself for not writing it down and more for listening to the hub's non-enthusiastic reaction to her paintings I loved. I should have went home with one! The were eclectic, whimsical, bright, colorful alice in wonderland-like paintings of landscapes viewed from an askewed angle. My faves were the ones with wine glasses in em--surprise surprise.
- The cards: super fun getting card collections with fun, old photos and funny sayings. An example is a pic of tow older ladies with the caption "We've been through a lot together--most of it was your fault." ;-)
- The feel: very open, creative, and inviting.
- Outside area: featuring cool sculptures. I liked the one where it looked like 2 people kissing and formed a heart. Yes, I'm a softie for stuff like that and love anything with hearts in it. Hey, I'm a gal full of love. 8-)
Lowlights (my flip side to highlights):
- Some of the rooms have slanted/uneven floors. Kind of adds to the personality of the place, but just be careful.
- I didn't get that painting and it's not super close to go back. :-(
I'll be back for a painting next time I artichoke soup and cioppino down the street. ;-)

Stopped here during a Sunday drive this weekend and LOVED this great little gallery. Not just a nice selection of jewelry, candles & soaps, ceramics, glass, & hats, the owner is extremely friendly as well. They have a great price range too, lots of things under $40. Will definitely come back here for holiday shopping!
Another great little shop in Pescadero. We have one of the fire pits they sell, although we bought ours online from a website my husband found. They have several small rooms in an old house, all filled with soaps, oils, jewelry, candles, and art pieces. Out side they have lawn decorations. We have one of the fish scupture things that move around in the wind, but we bought ours directly from the artist at an art and wine festival in the Santa Cruz Mountains a few years ago. Neat stuff to look at, stop in there.
This is one of the most eclectic, creative shops I've found on the backroads around Half Moon Bay and the bay area in general. From the aluminum and steel quirky lawn art to the hand dipped, found candles this little Pescadero shop offers it all. I always stop in for a look at what's new in the yard as well as a pass over the candle corner. I can't help but find something I want each time I go. The swirled, hippie style candles are so unique and the solid color hand dipped ones are just perfect for a romantic table at home. Stop in next time you're in town and take home a little "Luna Sea"!
