A brief history of
The beach shop
The Beach Shop is a new venture opened in 2025 from the owners of beloved Rehoboth Beach institution, Ryan’s Beach Shop (formerly Ryan’s Gems & Junk). After nearly 30 years on the boardwalk, the Kirn family moved to Rehoboth Avenue and decided it was time for a refresh.
We are a modern take on the Rehoboth gift shop; carrying home goods, stationary, books, trinkets, souvenirs and more—all with a keen focus on design and artist-made goods. The Beach Shop is a proudly inclusive space and draws inspiration from our favorite shops in cities all over the world, bringing a touch of the cosmopolitan to this small town.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, we’ve got cool stuff for everybody.
