Son of a Beach

Son of a Beach, owned by Ellie Nite is a souvenir shop located in Vespucci.

The shop will sell healing aloe vera for sunburns. It will also offer a range of souvenirs for those visiting Vespucci.

The Beginnings
Ellie's son, Antonio Rodrigues, and his business partner Quimbley Hayabusa, were excited by the idea of Vespucci becoming a storefront hub and eager to turn their ideas into a business. They brainstormed the idea of running a traditional tacky souvenir shop together, with all their favorite cheesy tourist gifts.

On the 2nd of October, 2022, Antonio found an ideal spot for his new business in the same block of storefronts as Deez Notes, Nailed It, and Vespucci Camp & Bait. The location, at the junction of Palomino Avenue and Aguja Street, is the site of a former BigV surf shop.

In the beginning of December, Antonio asked Anoilani Marlias for help in fixing his proposal. With his permission she created a new logo, and revamped the proposal. Ellie Nite decorated the interior for Antonio and it opened in January 2023. By the 7th of April 2023 Antonio had sold the store to Ellie as he had taken over running The Pit Stop.
