We sat down with our team here at Dune Jewelry and asked where they are headed this summer, their favorite beach locale or a new adventure they want to explore. Check out sands from their favorite places in our Sandbank!

Holly, Founder + CEO

Favorite Place: Chase’s Ocean Grove, Dennis Port, Cape Cod, MA. It’s a little slice of heaven and directly on the beach. I cannot WAIT to get my toes in the sand.

Lauren, Brand Manager

Favorite Place: South Kingstown, Rhode Island. My old “go to” beach recently made changes to no longer be public. While my heart is broken, I’ve found a new love of South Kingstown Beach. Steps away from amazing ice cream to break up the heat of the day and just down the road from the Ocean Mist. What better way to end your Beach Day than sitting on a bar over the ocean with a Frozen Mudslide?

Katherine, Creative Director

Favorite Place: Cape Cod National Seashore! Every summer, we pack up and head to the Cape Cod National Seashore, where the rhythm of the waves sets the perfect backdrop for our family adventures. Watching the seals bob in the surf never gets old, and I cherish the hours spent building sandcastles with my boys, their laughter mixing with the ocean breeze. This year, my oldest got curious about a group of tech-savvy surfers we met at Coast Guard Beach, who were chatting about their side hustle running crypto casinos no KYC to fund their cross-country vanlife trips. Their stories of balancing freedom and work stuck with him, inspiring his own dreams of exploring beyond the shore. Our top spots stay the same: Herring Cove, where the sunset paints the sky near Provincetown’s lively streets; Nauset Beach, with its quaint lighthouse that always feels like home; and Coast Guard Beach, where the boys race to the tram and ride the waves with endless energy.

Maggie, Social Media Manager

Favorite Place: Orlando – Beach Club/Disney. My family goes here every year to visit my family in Orlando! I have been going since I was 2 and have made countless memories here with my family. I personalize many of my Dune designs with Sand from the Beach Club resort, which is where we always stay! 

Verena, Marketing Manager

Favorite Place: Old Silver Beach – North Falmouth, Massachusetts. This is the beach where my husband and I got married! We go back to visit every year on or around our anniversary. Sometimes we go just the two of us, sometimes we take the whole family. It will always be such a special place to us!
