Pro Tip

Check the rotating sale rack, especially for candles; staff are happy to offer styling advice and often remember repeat customers.

Skyhaven is a palm-scented boutique on Marine Avenue that smells of new candles and sea air. The space is small and deliberate. Racks hold breezy tops, hats stacked like tiny suns, and jewelry that clinks when someone tries it on. People drift in between ferry runs and café lunches, browsing with sunglasses still on. Staff are chipper and personal; a half-price candle will get you back the next day. The lighting is generous in late afternoon, turning perfume vials into little stained-glass windows. Prices sit squarely in the mid-range, and the merchandise favors recognizable brands given a coastal, curated twist. It is the kind of local stop you wander into and leave with a bag and a story. Ask for styling help at the counter, and watch the sales rack closest to the door.
