At The Beach

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the moonlight reflected off the ocean waves, a delivery driver pulled up to At The Beach salon. He always parked in the same spot, but one evening something peculiar happened. As he opened the trunk of his truck, an old comb fell out and landed on the ground with a clatter. The comb was ancient, its teeth worn smooth like sandpaper. A regular customer picked it up and asked, ‘Who lost their time machine today?’ They handed it back to the perplexed driver, who shrugged and said, “Guess I’ll never know whose hair that belonged to.”

2. One morning, a regular asked the beautician, ‘Do you ever see anything strange here?’ She replied, ‘Only when that old surfer comes in with seaweed in his hair.’ The beautician shrugged and said, ‘Oh, he’s just our local sea creature.’ Then one day, a delivery driver mentioned, ‘I saw him walking down Main Street yesterday—still had seaweed in his hair!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was probably just the same old surfer, but now they all looked forward to seeing him again.

3. In the early hours of dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the beauty salon, puzzled by the soft glow coming from its windows. Curious, he peered inside and saw only a reflection of himself in the mirror—an endless hallway of smiling faces staring back. Turns out, someone had left the TV on, playing an old infomercial about haircare. The delivery driver walked away, shaking his head and muttering something about ‘At The Beach’ being open 24/7 even if no one’s there.’

4. Last week, while getting her weekly hair treatment, a regular asked the beautician, 'Have you ever noticed how the sea breeze smells different after midnight?' The beautician smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, it’s like a special kind of magic.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about the salty air making his pizza soggy. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe the beach never really leaves you—even if you’re miles away.
