Looking for a more contemporary take on traditional beach and ocean art? I’ve a few different options that might work for you. First of all I have a few different ocean and beach photographs. Some have a long exposure which gives the waves a dreamy and ethereal quality. Others are black and white and full of drama.
Here are a some hand-picked ocean, beach, and waves photographs:

Another option for the modern beach house might be skipping the water all together and having sand dune art. The velvety texture of the dunes offer drama and boldness. Below are a few sand dune photographs you might like.
Curving 300-meter high sand dune. Physically sculpted by the winds and highlighted by the sun.
Giant windswept sand dune with dramatic skies and texture. Variations in the sand color are due to differing amounts of iron content in the sand.
These textures and shapes are carved by winds each day. Tomorrow different shapes and patterns replace them. No two days in the desert will look exactly alike.
Fog rolling off the Atlantic Ocean and onto the large sand dunes of the Namib Desert in Namibia.
Wind sculpted ridges and rolling hills created as single grains of sands are moved on a daily basis. One dune may shift meters overnight just a grain at a time.
On most mornings a fog rolls over these dunes depositing life-sustaining dew drops, allowing small succulents to survive and even thrive in extreme conditions.
Resilient plants thriving in the desert. Fogs provide life sustaining water, an they flourish.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding prints, colors, or styles!
