Our Story

Three generations at the front of the wharf.

Since 1967, Bonnie's has sat where the planks meet the Pacific — opened by Bonnie, whose dry Irish wit could sell you a candle and a comeback in the same breath, and Nick, the big-hearted Italian who never met a customer he couldn't feed or befriend.

Two generations later it's still family-run, still full of candles, keepsakes and the kind of gifts you cross the whole wharf for. Warm welcome, sharp humor — same as it ever was.

What We Sell

A little something for everyone.
