Beaches

Beaches are one of our favorite topics here at Local Love and Wanderlust. Whether it's visiting the rocky coastline of the Pacific Northwest, the beautiful sandy shores of Southern California, or the wide expanse of beaches in the south, we love it all. We love ocean beaches from the Pacific west coast to the Atlantic east coast. The rocky shores of Washington state, the pebbled coast of Southern California, and the tepid warm waves of the Atlantic in South Carolina to the chilly coastal waves in Maine. We're also huge fans of the Great Lakes, which are truly wonders and quite often feel like small oceans with a variety of unique shorelines.

Tag a bookworm who you’d visit this shop with in Tag a bookworm who you’d visit this shop with in the comments! 

My weeks are usually all booked up (haha) but I had some time today to finally check out this gem of a bookstore called Loganberry Books in Shaker Heights, an under 20-minute drive from Downtown Cleveland. 

If you’re a book person you -need- to check this place out. Rooms upon rooms in a unique building with endless shelves of beautiful books. My favorite space being the room in back called “The Sanctuary” and a cabinet of miniature books near the entrance Just wowwwww. (More pics in my stories!)

After chatting with one of the super friendly staff, I learned a few interesting facts. The building used to be a showroom for Studebaker’s. The shop kitty has retired but a new cutie is in training, and that they have rented the shop out for photoshoots and one of them was a Beauty & Beast theme. (I’d love to see those shots!)

Cleveland locals & visitor bookworms alike should definitely add this huge bookstore to their must-visit lists! 

@loganberrybooks 
📍13015 Larchmere Boulevard, Cleveland Ohio 44120

*when I say hidden gem, it’s somewhere I don’t see people talk about a lot but is totally worth being talked about in my humble opinion.

Do you have a favorite plant? Right now mine is th Do you have a favorite plant? Right now mine is the Neon Pothos and I just swiped the last one at Urban Planting Cleveland 🫣

Soon, you’ll be able to shop at two different locations when one of my favorite Cleveland plant shops open their second spot in the Tremont neighborhood in the Lincoln apartments building.

Till then, you can still visit the Edgewater location.
