Seaside Hobbies

Good model train shop off the beaten path. The store carries both modern and antique items, with Lionel O gauge making up the bulk. Helpful owner who knows his stuff and does his best to ensure the customer leaves satisfied.

What an awesome little shop! This place is off the beaten path but well worth investigating. They have trains all over the shop, many set up and many to purchase. There was an older gentleman who showed my boys the trains they have running and made the horns blow. They had lots of old toys to purchase and look at. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The guy even let my husband take an item to see if it will work for him and trusted us to come back tomorrow to pay! We will, of course, but you don’t see that type of trust often these days!

This place is AMAZING… def worth a stop on the way to, or from the beach (if you’re driving out that way). My boyfriend insisted that we stop to look at kids toys… I was reluctant and tired, but as soon as I pulled up and walked inside, I did NOT regret this decision.
Remember in the movie BIG when Tom Hanks is so excited to just jump around and step on a giant keyboard? That’s how I felt when I saw all my childhood toys displayed before my eyes. What’s the best part about this amazing establishment you ask… for me, it was the giant Nintendo game collection in the back, in alphabetical order you could find every and any game you’d ever played growing up in the 80’s…this was it for me.
Then you make one turn and another and it’s like you’re playing with boats in the bathtub all over again while being washed. The best nostalgia one girl could ask for. I went to bed with super fat sugarplums bouncing in my head. THANKS SEASIDE HOBBIES for satisfying the kid inside me.
