Something’s fishy — star-fishy! This set of three painted starfish lends a bright, beachy feel wherever you put them. They can be displayed or hung, your choice.
This Etsy seller makes a whole range of amazing tropical-themed pillows in a variety of colors. She will even custom make something just for you. This particular pillow is made of batik and white denim.
I’m in love with this hand-distressed wooden bed set. (This one is queen size, but you can order any size or color from the seller.) Doesn’t it look like the worn-out boards of a vintage surf shack on a coastline somewhere?
What’s a beach without the ocean? These whimsical waves are actually peel-and-stick wall decals, so you can reposition them any time the mood hits. Plus, they’re made of fabric, so they won’t rip or give off a glare. Hang ten!
It may not be the most functional piece, but I still think this fishnet would be a fabulous decorative addition. It would definitely allow you to be creative.

This weathered crate would make a cute bedside table. Plus, its lid flips over to become a serving tray! It’s available in several different finishes and can be personalized with initials or a phrase. May I suggest, “Life’s a beach”?

A comforter with this vintage woody car print will appeal to surfers and wannabe surfers alike.
