Are You a Coastal Auntie? Let’s Find Out!

The Coastal Auntie has the keys to the beach house. She carries a Spotify playlist called “Sunset Vibes.” Her straw tote is packed with snacks, SPF, and sass.

If you’re the fun one in the family, you bring the wine and wear oversized sunglasses. You always know which way the tide is going—welcome to the Coastal Auntie Club. You might not have nieces and nephews (or maybe you do!), but you definitely have a signature cocktail or mocktail, and a strong opinion on seashell decor. Coastal Aunties are the effortlessly cool cousins of the Coastal Grandmother crew—laid-back, a little cheeky, and always stylish.

The Coastal Auntie Energy

She’s effortlessly cool. She is stylish without trying too hard. She probably has sand between her toes even when she’s at the farmer’s market. She’s laid-back. She knows how to arrange a coastal dinner party effortlessly. She uses fresh flowers and rattan chargers. It’s complete with a chilled rosé or a juicy non-alcoholic spritzer to die for!

  • Your favorite color is somewhere between seafoam and sky blue
  • You have a throw pillow obsession and you’re not sorry about it
  • You believe in good shoes, good friends, and good lighting
