How to Host the Perfect Summer BBQ | Beachly Tips
Sunshine, sips, and seaside style—here’s your guide to throwing an unforgettable backyard bash.
There’s nothing quite like a summer BBQ: good food, chill vibes, and that golden-hour glow. Whether you’re gathering friends by the grill or planning a sunset picnic at the park, a few thoughtful touches can take your BBQ from basic to beach-chic.
With a little help from the Beachly Summer Box, hosting your dream summer get-together is easier—and breezier—than ever.
1. Create a Cozy, Coastal Lounge Setup
Set the scene with layered textiles, comfy seating, and beachy accents that invite your guests to relax. Whether you're in the backyard, at the beach, or on the rooftop, a laid-back setup makes a big difference.

2. Keep Drinks Cold and Stylish
A summer BBQ without ice-cold drinks? Nope. Make it easy for guests to grab a refreshment by keeping a well-stocked cooler nearby, ideally with fun drink markers so nobody mixes up their seltzer.

Instead of the usual plastic cups, go for something that feels more intentional—especially when serving mocktails, cocktails, or lemonade.

From flipping veggie burgers to stirring fresh pasta salad, having reliable utensils on hand makes cooking and serving a breeze.
