About Us

Welcome to Coastal Beach Culture!  Thanks so much for visiting & being interested in our story! 

I am a busy Mum to 3 Boys!! 4 if you count my Husband! 

My husband and I both spent our summers as kids at the beach and we now love being able to do this with our children. They love the beach and keep us busy, as they run in different directions!!

With a growing family our sun umbrella was no longer large enough for our needs.  Trying to fit everything under shade, all the beach toys and 3 kids & Us! - we needed a new shade option!  Why not create my own!

I wanted to create an umbrella that was high quality, timeless, large enough to accommodate our party of 5 and also be easy to carry and set up at the beach or park! Lets not forget it had to look pretty cute too!!

My nana had a vintage tassel sun umbrella, that we would always use at the beach, i loved the tassels, the pattern and colour was classic 60's Vintage and lasted forever!! We still have it today! That was my inspiration.

After a lot of late nights, sketches of design’s…with my sons colouring pencils and working closely with our supplier, samples were tested. I have finally a product that works for our family and can be enjoyed all summer long!  I hope that you enjoy it too! 

I appreciate your support as a small kiwi business!!  Be Sure to Tag us in your Beach Set Ups!
