3 Retailers to visit on your road trip up the Coast

Looking for a great summer road trip? Add our top 3 iconic coastal towns to your next travel itinerary. Whether you’re in a more action-packed mood, or in for a quieter place, these three towns have it all. You can even collect the memories you make along the way at some of our favorite retailers.

1. Very Ventura – Ventura, CA

Look no further for the perfect laid-back California Coast beach town! Head to Ventura Beach Home to artists, surfers, and history. If you time your trip right, you can catch the largest Taco and Tequila Festival in California on Surfer’s Pier. Though, with community days like Pirate’s Day or the Harbor Parade of Lights, there is always something fun happening in Ventura. Take a stroll down the iconic pier or take a ferry for a day trip to the Channel Islands. Head over to Main Street for shopping amidst iconic buildings like the Mission San Buenaventura. While you’re there, stop by one of our favorite retailers, Very Ventura! They have an amazing selection of gifts and a beautiful “Kids Cove”. They also have a beautiful selection of Dune Jewelry including their favorite collection of Touch The World!

2. Salt + Soul Boutique – Jacksonville Beach, FL

Jax Beach is filled with local color. From the live music bursting out of beach venues to new and chic cocktail bars, there is something for everyone here! Catch a fish (or two) off of the famous fishing Pier. Take a walk along 22 miles of beautiful beaches. If you’re not into the saltwater, Jax Beach has two Adventure Parks with big water slides and mini-golf courses. Enjoy an intimate live blues/folk show at Blue Jay Listening Room before heading to a seafood dinner at one of many elcectic restaurant options. Or, if you’re in the mood for adding to your wardrobe – or Dune collection – stop by Salt + Soul Boutique, just three blocks away from the beach itself! You’ll find a great selection of our Larimar designs, including the Cushion Cut Nautical Necklace. Salt + Soul love to give back as much as Dune does! 100% of profits from their Salt + Soul graphic tees go to charities near to their heart.

3. Crystal Lake Adventure Sports – Frankfort, MI

Lake Michigan is a magical place, and Frankfort is a gem on the West Coast of the Mit. An emerging town, locals and summer birds love this Lake-front town. The iconic Point Betsie Lighthouse is the best place to gather and watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. It’s an event every night to gather on the sands. Because Michigan is on the edge of the Eastern time zone, the sun doesn’t go down until 10 pm in the summer! Take a stroll downtown and visit Storm Cloud Brewery (yes, it’s kid-friendly!), or catch live music on the town’s Green. Frankfort is a small town packed with outdoor activities. Rent a paddleboard or kayak from Crystal Lake Adventure Sports, then shop their store for all of your Dune Jewelry needs! You’ll find designs you have never seen on our website, like their exclusive necklace with the Frankfort Marine Gateway Arch iconography. Elaine, the owner, loves the Boho Stack Ring customized with her black sand from a secret sport on Frankfort’s beach!
