5 Must-Have Coastal Essentials for Summer 2025

Summer as a State of Mind

There is something timeless about the rituals of summer. Setting up shade, stretching out on a towel, and drifting between swims are moments that create lasting memories. Having the right essentials on hand turns a simple beach trip into a day of ease and enjoyment.

1. The Beach Umbrella

Shade is the foundation of every coastal setup. A beach umbrella with a UPF 50+ recycled canvas canopy offers reliable sun protection. Details such as a tilt hinge for adjustability and a sand screw base for security mean you can relax without distraction. Umbrellas are also a chance to express style, with calming tones like Salted Sage or Sand Drift complementing the coastal landscape.

2. The Beach Cabana

For families or groups, a cabana expands the concept of shade into a living space. Quick to set up and lightweight to transport, a cabana offers room for picnics, naps, or children playing in the sand. Constructed from RPET fabric and reinforced frames, a cabana is a premium upgrade that combines function with sustainability.

3. The Floating Lounger

Summer is not limited to the shoreline. Pools, lagoons and rivers invite long afternoons of floating or reclining. A floating bean bag lounger made from Olefin fabric offers fade resistance, quick drying comfort and room for two. It doubles as poolside furniture, bridging style and function in one sculptural design.

4. The Oversized Towel

A towel should be more than an afterthought. At 630 GSM, House of Dune towels are heavyweight, absorbent and woven from 100 percent cotton. Oversized dimensions make them perfect for lying flat on the sand, wrapping around after a swim, or bringing a sense of luxury to the everyday ritual of drying off.

5. Products That Align With Your Values

Every purchase is an opportunity to choose longevity and sustainability. Products made from recycled materials, designed to last beyond one summer, leave less impact on the coastlines we all treasure. Choosing essentials that reflect your values means your coastal days carry meaning as well as style.

Building a Summer Kit That Lasts

These five essentials are not passing trends. They are the foundation of summer living, designed for repeated use, timeless in style, and respectful of the environment. A well chosen collection makes every beach day easier, calmer and more enjoyable.
