Beachly is a quarterly seasonal box for women or men, stocked with apparel, accessories, and lifestyle items that have a beach-forward vibe and keep you feeling close to the ocean even if you're landlocked. Each box costs $99 but will have a value of over $250 featuring 6-8 items from well-known brands like Aloha, Havaianas, Roxy, Billabong, Nixon, DIFF Eyewear, and more.

This is a review of their women's box.

This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

First Impressions

Beachly always arrives in a very pretty box in blue and coral.

When you first sign up for Beachly, you'll fill out a few preferences to tailor your box to you. They also take your location into account, so you don't have to worry about getting a tank top in the middle of winter in the midwest.

The Items

JaxSea Aloha Reversible Pullover - Listed Value $95

 

I am into this cozy sweatshirt with a very subtle nod to beachiness! The grey color is perfect for my wardrobe and I love that it is reversible to a pretty tropical leaf pattern. This box has a way of sending beach-themed clothing pieces that you actually want to wear and never feel silly wearing if you live far, far away from a beach.

Tucker is my own personal paradise.

Earth Harbor Sunshine Dew Cleansing Oil, 2 fl oz - Retail Value $24

 

I enjoy Earth Harbor products and I am excited that they now have this oil cleanser. I am typically a double cleanser (unless I'm feeling lazy) and I like to start with a cream and finish with an oil to keep my dry face moisturized and calm. This golden dew has a citrus and vanilla scent that is pretty darn wonderful and the formula itself boasts some seriously nourishing oils: grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, and more. It is a great cleanser for this time of year because it is super effective at softening those dry patches that so often happen around the nose and mouth when the winds get cold.

Salty Cali Salty Shell Necklace - Listed Value $38

 

FYI: Subscribers can choose between gold or silver. 

I really enjoy layering different dainty gold necklaces but I am also metal sensitive, meaning they have to be pretty good quality unless I want a green line around my neck. So far, this little shell and chain have passed the test! You know when you are wearing a piece of jewelry that has that perfect sort of weight? Like your fingers just want to play with it and it is heavy enough to feel nice in your hands? This solid shell has that quality and is just lovely to fiddle with while you wear it. The chain is marked as sterling silver and I am tempted to assume the shell is too.

Lu & Elle Paradise Palm Backpack - Listed Value $120

 

Again, this box excels at prints that are totally a "sea" vibe but are so darn stylish and modern. This backpack is made out of durable canvas material with a grey botanical print. It has faux-leather accents (that are pretty nice actually) and is closed with a drawstring and flap. Now, as much as I love this backpack, the listed price feels way out there to me. But, still, this is a super cute piece and I have already used it multiple times. Most recently, I had to drop Tucker off at the dog sitter and I filled it with his favorite bowl, bags of kibble, and a few of his squeaky toys. It was a perfect size.

Billie's Seaside Catch-All - Listed Value $25

 

While this catcall was really truly on the flimsy side (it is made out of a thin tin material) it is kind of charming and a great choice for your vanity (to stash perfume samples or necklaces) or the guest bathroom (for smaller soaps, travel shampoos, etc). I like the texture and lightness it adds to a space.

Lu & Elle Paradise Palm Wallet - Listed Value $25

 

This last item is a cardholder that matched the backpack perfectly. I don't generally use items like this but I could see it being great for a hotel key card or if you are someone who doesn't like to haul around an actual purse.

Verdict

This Beachly assortment was a perfect merger of fall and the beach and somehow it works! As someone who used to live in New England, that sort of cold coast idea is my personal beach paradise, so I always appreciate Beachly's ability to reference the ocean without defaulting to Pina Coladas or coconuts. The curation of this delivery was pretty great and I am loving my sweatshirt and backpack especially!

To Wrap Up

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes, but these sell out quickly!

Value Breakdown: At $103.95 ($99.00 + $4.95 shipping) for this box, each of the 6 items has an average cost of $17.33.

I love natural/vegan beauty products, Korean skincare, unique jewelry, and weird candies from far away places. When I am not waiting for my next exciting box you can find me painting or taking photographs of interesting people. I never leave home without pug hair somewhere on my shirt and a bold lipstick on my smile.

Great review! I always love your reviews, Megan. And you look fantastic.

I had this box for a few seasons but like others have mentioned, I just didn’t feel that the value was there. I do feel like they have quality items, but I also feel the RV is inflated on this box. So it never felt like I was getting a deal; more like I was paying $100 for exactly $100 worth of surprise stuff.

I’ve canceled for now, but I still love this box and may come back in the future if I have a little extra sub box money.

I love this box but the price tag of $100 is so steep. Great items this time though. Loved your review, Megan. The sweatshirt is so cute on you!

I think their should be more for a $99 box! I understand the sweater is $95and the backpack $120 but those are way ridiculously overpriced! Rather see more items than less ridiculously priced ite.

I completely agree that this should be a $100 box. The RVs are way overinflated.
