Books by the Bay

At Books by the Bay, we believe in the power of stories to connect, inspire, and transform communities. More than just a bookstore, we are a welcoming space where book lovers gather, conversations flourish, and creativity thrives. Our mission is to cultivate a love for literature while fostering a sense of belonging—whether through our thoughtfully curated selections, engaging book clubs, or community-driven events. As a Latina-owned independent bookstore, we champion diverse voices, support local authors and artisans, and strive to make reading accessible and enjoyable for all.

With La Porte’s rich coastal charm as our backdrop, Books by the Bay is more than a place to buy books—it’s a home for those who find magic between the pages.
