How to Keep the Beach Vibes Going All Year Round
As summer fades into fall, many of us long for those endless days at the beach, with the sun on our skin and the sound of waves crashing nearby. But just because the season is changing doesn’t mean you have to leave those beach vibes behind. Whether you’re a year-round surfer or simply a beach lover at heart, there are plenty of ways to stay connected to the surf and ocean lifestyle as the weather cools down.
1. Cozy Beach Fashion: Embrace the Fall Surf Look
Just because the temperature is dropping doesn’t mean your love for the beach has to cool off. With the right wardrobe, you can keep those relaxed, beachy vibes going all year long. Here are a few tips on how to transition your surf-inspired style into the fall season:
Layer Up with Beachy Sweatshirts and Hoodies
One of the easiest ways to keep the beach lifestyle alive is by layering up with cozy beach fashion.

2. Decorate Your Space with Coastal Vibes
Who says the beach has to stay outside? Bring those calming, coastal vibes into your home by decorating your space with ocean-inspired décor. Whether you live near the coast or are miles away, adding beachy touches to your living space can help you feel connected to the ocean all year round.
Here are some ideas for bringing beachy vibes into your home this fall:
1. Incorporate Coastal Colors
Decorating your space with soft, ocean-inspired hues like sandy beige, seafoam green, and deep ocean blues can make any room feel like a seaside escape. Swap out throw pillows, blankets, and rugs for ones in these soothing colors to create a calm, beachy atmosphere in your home.
2. Candles for a Cozy, Beachy Ambiance
There’s nothing like the warm glow of a candle to make a space feel cozy. Choose beach-inspired scents that feel like you’re lounging by the ocean. Whether it’s the fresh, breezy scent of our Mango Coconut or the soothing notes of Spa Retreat, our candles will help you bring the essence of the beach into your home—even on the coldest days.
3. Add Nautical Touches
Seashells, driftwood, and ocean-inspired art are simple ways to add a coastal feel to your home décor. You can place shells in decorative bowls, hang beach photographs, or even use pieces of driftwood as a centerpiece to create a space that transports you to the shore.
3. Stay Connected to the Surf
Just because the weather is cooling down doesn’t mean you have to stop surfing. In fact, fall can offer some of the best surf conditions of the year, thanks to consistent swells and quieter beaches. Here are a few ways to stay connected to the surf and keep the beach vibes alive:
Plan Fall Surf Trips
Fall is an excellent time to plan a surf trip. With fewer tourists on the beach, you’ll have more space to yourself, and the fall swells can provide some of the most consistent waves of the year.

Surf Gear for Cooler Conditions
As fall progresses, the water may start to cool down, so it’s important to have the right gear to keep you warm. A high-quality wetsuit is a must, and be sure to bring along one of our cozy Salty Palm Sweatshirts for warming up after your session.
Stay Active and Connected
If you can’t make it to the beach as often in the fall, stay connected to your surfing lifestyle by staying active. Surf-inspired workouts, yoga, and staying mentally engaged with surf culture through books, podcasts, and films can help you keep the spirit of the beach alive until you’re back on the waves.
💡 Did you know
Did you know that fall is known as the "secret season" among surfers? With consistent swells and fewer crowds, many experienced surfers consider fall the best time to catch waves—so don’t pack away your board just yet!
4. Make Time for Relaxation and Reflection
One of the reasons we love the beach is because it offers a sense of peace and relaxation. As fall brings cooler days and earlier sunsets, it’s the perfect time to slow down and enjoy quiet moments of reflection.
Even if you're not physically at the beach, you can still embrace the calming and rejuvenating spirit of the ocean by making time for self-care and relaxation.
Embrace Beach Vibes All Year Long
Just because the summer is over doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to the beach. By embracing cozy surf fashion, decorating your home with coastal touches, and staying connected to the surf, you can keep the beach vibes going all year round.
How can I incorporate beach style into my fall wardrobe?
You can keep the beach vibes going by layering with beachy hoodies and sweatshirts, like The Salty Palm’s Sunkissed Hoodie . Don’t forget to accessorize with coastal-inspired tote bags and lightweight scarves.
What are some fall beach décor ideas?
Bring coastal colors like sandy beige, ocean blue, and seafoam green into your home. Add candles with coastal scents to create a warm, beachy atmosphere.
Can I still surf in the fall?
Absolutely! Fall is one of the best times to surf, with consistent swells and fewer beachgoers. Just be sure to bring along a wetsuit for cooler waters and one of our cozy hoodies for warming up post-surf.
