    This store has an amazing selection of surf items as well as clothing, amazing staff! I had the absolute best service ever by Karly who handled all my needs and even gave me recommendations on where to go to dinner after since I'm just visiting. Her connection was so genuine beyond a sale, super sweet girl! Will definitely be shopping here again if i'm visiting !

    This little shop in Monterey is great. When my son needed a new pair of shoes fast, we stopped by here. With the help of a wonderful sale associate, my son tried on about a dozen pairs of shoes and ended up with the most comfortable pair of UGGS. While he looked at footwear, I looked at the women's clothing and found the cutest hoodie. There was a good selection of men's and women's apparel here. The customer service was really great, and there were plenty of nice sales items here too. This was a fun stop while shopping in Monterey!

    Great surf shop! We've been going there for years. The staff is always so helpful. I like the ladies clothing section and my husband is a surfer so he has purchased wetsuits, wax and other apparel there regularly. He also buys rash guards and wetsuits for our daughter there too

    We have rented equipment twice from On the Beach. Everyone we dealt with was kind and patient and explained proper usage. We got the perfect wetsuits and equipment, my kids were in the freezing ocean all day! Our second rental included a skim board. My son promptly lost the board in the ocean. He was distraught. When we talked to the shop, they were kind and gracious. They said if someone turns in the board, we will get our money back. It was our mistake, and my son was so upset. I was so grateful for their kindness. I will definitely rent again.

    Kelly and staff were super helpful getting my old skateboard working again. They installed new cushions for my Independent trucks. My 45 year old skateboard is ready to ride again! They have an amazing collection of clothes, skateboards, surfboards, and everything you need to enjoy beach life. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

    BEST LINGERIE SPOT EVER !!! If you want to have a great time and get a nice pair of lingerie this…read moreis it! Paul is amazing with an awesome sense of humor! He will take great of you! Very playful guy and talkative as well! Will definitely be coming back, please support this shop as they do deserve its recognition!

    I have never left a negative review before, and yet not only did I leave this one on Google, but I…read moremade a Yelp account to review here, as well, because people deserve to know what the proprietors are like when they aren't serving champagne and getting in their customer's good graces. I recommend reading other negative reviews. Ours wasn't nearly as bad as some others. Earlier today (03/27/2026, around 4:30) my friend and I visited Dentelle. We were first met by a woman who politely greeted us from her seated position as she worked on attaching a corset piece to a hanger (this becomes only slightly relevant later). We proceeded to admire the selection, slowly making our way around the store and quietly commenting to each other here and there. Not long after, one of the owners--Paul, as I hear it--walked in, and rather than greet us, the first thing he did was treat my childhood friend like an idiot. It started benignly enough. At the time, she had been looking at a sheer purple top and told me how much she loved it. Paul commented that it "matches with the one* next to it". (*A purple bra in the same shade, of which there were no other matching pieces.) I looked over my shoulder at this, and after she politely and cheerfully agreed that she noticed that, he walked up behind her and added, "They're the same color". I could tell he was just trying to make a sale, but by that point I was already blown away by his audacity. I could tell my friend was, too, but she humored him and simply said that they were lovely together and she wished she could, but her bank account wouldn't be happy about it. In a way I can't possibly articulate through text, he asked her, "Well, what's stopping you?" She had basically just told him, but all the same she then plainly said that she couldn't afford both. He then took a few steps back and began quipping at her every minute or less that we were there, even after my wife joined us. The woman behind the desk spent this time pretending to look busy with the same single piece of lingerie. She was unfolding and refolding it, clipping and unclipping it to its hanger, until finally we drifted over to the shop's right hand wall and she pushed past us. (See, not very relevant, other than her complicity in the situation and generally giving a bad impression regarding customer service and work ethic, as well as the owners' values. They get paid how much to do this, but treat customers they deem "too poor" like garbage? Okay.) My friend made her way there first, and Paul laughed at her and told her that she didn't need to "even bother going over there" if she "couldn't even afford the other stuff. This is the really good stuff." I moved to join my friend, and we both looked, regardless. Annoyed, I began to tune him out, until my friend told him that her sugardaddy was in Vegas. He paused, then told her to call him right then. She declined, and we walked out. I'm really sanitizing this experience in my retelling, but it was outrageous that he, in no uncertain terms, made it VERY clear that my friend was not welcome. I was largely ignored, and I suspect that it was because of how I dressed, looked, and sounded. Needless to say, any interest in this shop is long gone. Steer clear if you value people who value others and their time--because all Paul seems to care for is how much money you can put into his bank account. To the owners, since I've seen a pattern in your replies: I am not interested in having our experience being refuted or gaslit. I am not even interested in insincere apologies, though I've seen nothing of the like so far to anyone else who has suffered similar treatment. Do not bother replying.
