Mimi by the Sea, Gift – Home – Dream: call in if you’re passing you might leave with something. If you can’t make it to us we can still make it to you through Instagram, Facebook and shop online www.mimibythesea.com.

Mimi by the Sea is a gift and home shop in the harbour area of Newcastle, County Down born from a passion and appreciation for local craft and art and an eye for quirky homeware in a shop with a name inspired by Granny Mona, the original Mimi.

Mimi, a term used for Grandmother can also mean Lady of the Sea. With a love for the Mourne area, being located up near the harbour on south promenade, with water views, was everything for Mimi by the Sea.
