Welcome back to Beach Astrology! It’s Leo season and we hope this energetic shift out of sensitive, introspective Cancer season has you feeling invigorated and ready to take on the world! Leos naturally possess a regal quality, whether they’re the outgoing type that loves the spotlight or the quiet type that subtly seems to make every space their domain. Ruled by the sun (Leo season begins right round the Summer solstice), South Beach Place is the perfect spot for these kings and queens of the zodiac to celebrate their birthdays surrounded by their loyal subjects.

We chose Esther Williams, a legend of the silver screen whose elegant star quality and spectacular aquatic abilities made her as synonymous with swimming as Fred Astaire with dancing. We’ve compiled some essentials for Leo’s visit to South Beach Place that will have you feeling like a Million Dollar Mermaid… Let’s dive in, shall we?

Don’t dull your shine with a chalky old sunscreen. You can look radiant AND protect yourself while you soak up some South Florida rays with Kopari’s SPF 50 Glow Gel, a luxurious, lightweight formula packed with clean, nourishing ingredients and gorgeous gold shimmer.

R + Co. Dreamhouse Cold Pressed Watermelon Wave Spray

Don’t let humidity, sweat, chlorine, or hat-head deflate that glorious mane! Spritz on some of R + Co.’s wave spray for soft, natural, beachy texture that conditions and protects hair from UV rays. Order it from their website or visit our friends at nearby Boho House Salon in Downtown Vero where you’ll find a huge selection of R + Co. products and some ultra-talented stylists.

Our featured Leo celeb, Esther Williams, launched a successful swimwear line that paid homage to the tasteful, flattering silhouettes of her midcentury heyday. You’ll be a bombshell in this sheath one-piece, which fits right in with the retro chic aesthetic at South Beach Place. Plus, that rich sapphire blue compliments golds, beiges, and natural neutrals gorgeously.

You’ll get plenty of sun protection under the wide brim of this straw hat by Shamarr Barquet. The leopard bow accent is a tasteful nod to the world of fierce felines represented by Leo.

Leos demand the best and this 70s print float for two by Funboy is the ultimate accessory for drifting along South Beach Place’s heated pool. The float features two cupholders and a detachable mesh shade. Extravaganza.
