Soundside Collective was born from summers spent on the shoreline, where the coast became more than just a place — it became home. Our founder grew up building sand walls with his dad’s rusty army shovel, fishing crabs off the dock, and spending long afternoons watching everything from SpongeBob SquarePants to Shark Week. Those memories sparked a lifelong love for the beach and an early passion for protecting the ocean and its wildlife.

That passion later found its voice through photography. For over a decade, our founder pursued traditional photography, but with encouragement from his wife, he took to the skies with a drone to capture the coast’s beauty. The images struck a chord. Shared through Coastline Photography, his work quickly built a following and grew into a business, proving that the coast’s stories could inspire something far greater than a single Instagram page.

From the beginning, Soundside Collective was created with a purpose: to give back. Inspired by Shark Week and a deep belief that those who benefit from the coast should also protect it, the brand was built on the principle of impact. Every purchase supports coastal conservation and wildlife protection, ensuring future generations can fall in love with the shore the same way our founder once did.

But Soundside Collective has never been about one person — it has always been about community. That’s why we call ourselves a collective. By bringing people together who share a passion for the ocean, we can make a larger impact, strengthening not just one shoreline, but many. Connection is at the heart of everything we do.

Above all, Soundside Collective stands for authenticity. Every design is created from real coastal photography and inspired by real communities, allowing people to see and wear what they’re protecting. When you wear Soundside Collective, you’re not just wearing apparel — you’re carrying the story of the coast and joining a movement to protect it.
