About Beach Girl Miami

Welcome to Beach Girl Miami, where every T-shirt tells a story of growing up in the 305. Hand-drawn and designed by locals, our tees capture the colors, energy, and memories that make Miami unforgettable.

The Miami Vibe

At Beach Girl Miami, we celebrate the details only true locals know. Growing up meant afternoons at Dadeland Mall or wandering The Shops at Sunset Place, weekends at Town & Country, and sneaking into clubs on Ocean Drive. Summers were filled with Redlands strawberry picking, riding on the handlebars of your friends’ bikes to school, skateboarding, backyard slip-and-slides, and house parties that lasted until the streetlights came on.

We remember the legendary strawberry milkshakes at Norman Bros., powdered-sugar Elephant Ears and carnival rides at the Miami-Dade County Fair, and the sparkle of Santa’s Enchanted Forest lighting up the holidays. Cruising on bikes in the Everglades at Shark Valley. There were afternoons at the Venetian Pool, evenings at Flippers Arcade or the movie theatre, and late-night drum circles on Miami Beach under the moonlight, where the beats would never end.

Our Story

Beach Girl Miami’s founder, Ava-Katie, grew up in Kendall in the 80’s and 90’s, but her summers belonged to the ocean. She swam with manatees in Key Largo, pretended to be a mermaid in the Atlantic and in the canals of the Redlands, and danced barefoot at drum circles on Miami Beach under stars.

From an early age, Ava-Katie was drawn to art and photography, capturing the world around her while at Glades Middle School and Miami Killian High School. Her love for creativity became the heart of Beach Girl Miami, turning those childhood memories, sketches, and snapshots of life in the 305 into hand-drawn T-shirts designed for anyone who wants to carry Miami with them.

Each T-shirt is hand-drawn and unisex, made to reflect the energy, freedom, and playful spirit of growing up in Miami. These tees aren’t just clothing, they’re little pieces of a city, a childhood, and a lifestyle that only those who truly know Miami can feel.

If you know, you know.
