What the map can tell you
How many independent antique stores are there in San Diego?
Hot Tip lists 17 in San Diego County, counted on 5 October 2026: 4 in Central San Diego, 4 in Coastal San Diego, 1 in North County coastal, 3 in North County inland, 4 in East County and 1 in South Bay. The areas with the most are La Jolla (2), Point Loma (2), Escondido (2), Ramona (2) and Golden Hill (1). Chains are not counted.
Hours come from OpenStreetMap or from the business's own website. The rule for a chain is its owner. Anything with a national or regional corporate parent is out. A San Diego group with a few locations of its own stays. Seen a chain on this list, or a place that has closed, or one that is missing? Write to hello@hottip.club. If the place is yours, claiming it is free.
