Up Up & Away Kites is an eyecatching store along Main St. in Old Town Seal Beach. It sells kites, home decor and flags to match themes and holidays. The store displays its colorful merchandise on the sidewalk, which works well with the sea breeze. The inside is packed with unique products and gift ideas, not to mention a camera-shy parakeet!
