Ocean at golden hour

Our Story

About Us

How It Started

Born on a
Sandbar.

It started with a simple question: why do the best beach parties always happen somewhere else? Miami had the weather. Carolina had the coastline. Jersey Shore had the energy. What the East Coast was missing was someone willing to put it all together.

In the summer of 2023, Maya Reyes rented a PA system, got a permit for a stretch of Miami Beach, and invited 200 people to show up. They sold out in 48 hours. The second event sold out in 12. By the end of that first season, it was clear this wasn't a one-time thing.

Beats by the Beach is now the East Coast's most anticipated beach party series — three cities, one summer, and a community of people who believe the best nights happen with sand between your toes.

What We Stand For

Our Values

The Shore Is the Stage

We don't rent venues — we take over coastlines. Every event is designed around the natural backdrop of the ocean, the sand, and the sky.

Music First, Always

Every booking decision starts with the music. We don't chase names — we chase sounds that move people. The lineup is always curated, never compromised.

Community Over Capacity

We keep our events intentionally sized. No stadium crowds, no anonymous masses — just a community of people who showed up for the same reason you did.

East Coast Roots

From Miami to Jersey Shore, we celebrate the culture, the communities, and the coastlines that make the East Coast unlike anywhere else in the world.
