About Galapagos Boutique
Galapagos Boutique is an independent Charlestown shop that says it has been styling women and men for more than 26 years. The racks and shelves lean toward finishing pieces rather than basics: women's and men's shoes, handbags, belts, jewelry, and scarves and shawls. Its seasonal collections are announced as they arrive, so the mix changes through the year.
In summer the shop is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., which makes it an easy stop on a beach day along this stretch of the South County shore. Hours outside summer are not posted on their website, so call before a fall or winter visit. The staff take calls during boutique hours, and they also answer style questions by email.
If you find something you like but don't want to carry it around all day, the boutique sells the same categories through their website with free shipping on all orders, so you can browse in person and order later. There is no food or event program here; plan this as a short browse of half an hour or so.
Lavender Waves Farm in Wakefield is about 15 minutes east along Route 1. Pair a morning cut-your-own visit there in late June or July, when the lavender is at peak bloom, with an afternoon browse here on the way toward Charlestown's beaches.
