The name Sea Shack has been part of our story for over two decades. It all began in 2001, when I first moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea. I was living in a tiny cottage - charming, weathered, and full of potential - and I lovingly named it “The Sea Shack”. That name stuck. Over the years, as our family grew and moved from one home to another within Carmel, “The Sea Shack” came with us, always representing comfort, whimsy, and a sense of place.

This candy shop was born from the heart of our family, deeply rooted in the coastal charm of Carmel, where we’ve proudly raised our three children. With two of our kids now off to college and our youngest still in high school, we felt called to start a new chapter—one that would allow us to stay connected to the community that has given us so much. We wanted to create something joyful, meaningful, and lasting—a little sweet spot that reflects the love we’ve poured into our home and family over the years.
