About beachy.co.za – we started this Beachy site on the last day of 2012, during the South African school summer holidays, after only in December 2012 discovering that we more-than-a-little love beachcombing and sea glass.

Our love for beachcombing and sea glass led to all sorts of other things, like selling sea glass pieces and driftwood pieces, and making drinking glasses from beer bottles (upcycling), and selling all the things we make at home, at craft markets in and around East London in South Africa. We share stories and photos of the markets and beaches we go to, here on our beachy.co.za site.

Beach House Wall Decor in South Africa – In June 2018 we also started making reclaimed wood sea animal theme and nautical theme wall decor items. We use metal bottle caps where we can too – as eyes on our wooden angel fish, whales, seahorses, sharks, dolphins, seagulls and other wooden ocean animal wall hangings, as well as as tyres on our wooden tugboat wall hangings.

We have a long list of other reclaimed wood beach house wall decor items we’d like to make still, working from home in East London in South Africa, as soon as we get a chance to! We have no staff so it takes us a while to keep up with orders for things we have already made before, or to keep up with making stock that already sells at local craft markets on weekends, or that sells online.

Product photos on this page are of already sold products (but you can order something similar).

We also do custom orders. Just contact us and ask us if we can make what you have in mind.

Beachy, to us, is one word to sum up everything about a coastal lifestyle, a natural lifestyle, perhaps also a bit of a hippy or bohemian lifestyle, or style of dressing (“She dresses sort of beachy, doesn’t she?”) To us beachy is also exactly what the description of this site says: loving the beach, beach house decor South Africa, beach wedding ideas, beach photography, sea glass, driftwood, and craft markets.

We cannot find a definition of beachy on Wikipedia (at the time of writing this content). The only two mentions of beachy that we found on Wikipedia (that are unrelated to the last name of a person (as in the name of the Atlanta Braves baseball player Brandon Beachy) are Beachy Head, and the Beachy Amish Mennonite Fellowship. Beachy Head was the name of a British band in 2001 to 2004, and is also the name of a place – a chalk headland in the South of England. The Beachy Head chalk sea cliff is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. Beachy Head tourist attractions include the Beachy Head Lighthouse, beach, and a Beachy Head walk of between 2 and 3 miles long.

South Africa also has its own Beachy Head in the form of Beachy Head Drive in Plettenberg Bay. Beachy Head Drive is a sought after Plettenberg Bay area to stay in when looking for luxury and self-catering accommodation in Plettenberg Bay. Activities in the vicinity of Plettenberg Bay include golf, wine tasting, hiking in the Robberg Nature Reserve, whale watching, ocean kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, horse riding, and relaxing on the beach.

This beachy site is for us to share the things and photos that we love about the beaches in and around East London South Africa, and about the markets in or around East London that we sell at. Of course we do also share photos of the items we’ve made and sold, and that we have for sale. We hope that you enjoy our beachy or craft market stories, articles, and photos – and that you purchase some of our handmade by just the two of us beachy products!
