The Ultimate Fall Bucket List: Coastal Edition

Fall is officially here, and there’s no better time to create those cozy, memorable moments. From crisp morning walks to weekend getaways, we've put together the ultimate fall bucket list to help you make the most of the season – with a little coastal twist, of course! And to make your adventures even more special, we've woven in a few must-have pieces from the Beachly Fall Box. Whether you're planning to embrace the cool ocean breeze or cozy up at home, we've got you covered!

1. Take a Scenic Fall Hike

The fall foliage is in full swing, and it’s the perfect excuse to lace up your hiking boots and explore a local trail. Don’t forget to pack a light layer like the Hello Sunshine Cardigan by Saltwater Luxe. With its soft knit fabric and breezy style, it’s ideal for those brisk morning walks where you want to stay warm without sacrificing style.

2. Plan a Cozy Bonfire Night

Gather your friends and family for a night under the stars. Think s’mores, hot cocoa, and a crackling fire. Add a touch of coastal charm with the Wood and Sea Glass Garland by Primitives by Kathy. It’s the perfect piece to string up around your outdoor space, adding a warm, beachy vibe to your bonfire setup.

3. Host a Seasonal Potluck Dinner

Fall is all about comfort food. Invite your loved ones over for a potluck-style dinner and encourage them to bring their favorite autumn dishes. Set the table with natural elements like driftwood, pumpkins, and seashells to bring in that coastal flair. Need a chic way to carry your contribution to the party? Use the Vacay Everyday Terry Backpack by Lu & Elle – it’s not only stylish but also roomy enough to fit all your essentials.

4. Go Apple Picking (or Visit a Farmer's Market!)

Nothing says fall quite like a basket full of freshly picked apples. Whether you’re heading to the orchard or a local farmer's market, make sure to bring along the French Market Mesh Tote Bags by The GUUD Brand. These eco-friendly bags are perfect for carrying all your fresh produce, and their open weave design keeps your fruits and veggies looking (and feeling) fresh!

5. Create Your Own DIY Fall Decor

Bring the coastal vibes into your home this season with some DIY decor projects. Think seashell wreaths, sand-filled candle holders, or painted driftwood centerpieces. For a little extra inspiration, consider using items from your Beachly Fall Box. The Wood and Sea Glass Garland is perfect for sprucing up your mantel or adding to a DIY door wreath.

6. Plan a Weekend Getaway

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life with a quick weekend trip to a cozy coastal town. Pack light, but make sure to bring along the essentials – like the Tropic Like It’s Hot Hair Wrap by Zoe Ayla to keep your hair in check, even on windy beach days. And don’t forget the Apres Sea Tee by Shore Brand for those relaxed, laid-back vibes.

7. Watch a Coastal Sunset

Find a beach, grab a blanket, and watch the sun dip below the horizon. There's something extra magical about fall sunsets – the colors are just that much richer and more vibrant. Wear your Hello Sunshine Cardigan and let the soft knit wrap you in warmth as you sip on a warm drink and enjoy the view.

8. Try a New Fall Recipe

Challenge yourself to cook something new this season, whether it's a hearty chowder, spiced pumpkin bread, or a seafood dish with a seasonal twist. Cooking can be a therapeutic way to embrace the season, and it's even more fun when shared with friends or family.

9. Read a Beachy Novel

Curl up with a good book that whisks you away to sandy shores and sunny skies. Even when the temperatures drop, there’s nothing like escaping to a fictional beach town for a few hours. Grab your favorite blanket, brew a cup of tea, and dive into your next great read.

10. Create a Gratitude List

Take some time to reflect on the things you’re grateful for this season. Write them down in a journal or create a gratitude jar where you can drop notes throughout the month. It’s a simple but meaningful way to embrace the spirit of the season and keep those positive vibes flowing.
