Oceanside, California
Vintage and consignment shop on Coast Highway with rotating 80s and 90s finds
A South Oceanside staple for vintage and consignment shopping, right on Coast Highway. Captain's Helm carries a rotating mix of one-of-a-kind vintage clothing, accessories, and select new brands alongside their secondhand finds. The colorful storefront and walk-up coffee bar out front set the tone — it's equal parts treasure hunt and hangout. They buy, sell, and trade daily (by appointment for selling), so the inventory is always changing. Popular with locals and teens alike for its 80s and 90s gems and eclectic, style-forward curation.
