Sun, Safety & Style: Your Guide to UPF 50+ Protection

A Heritage of Sunshine and Style

Since 1986, Sun 'N' Sand® Accessories has been more than just a brand; we’ve been a family-owned staple of the resort industry. From our headquarters in Grand Prairie, Texas, we’ve spent four decades perfecting the balance between "Tropical Luxe" style and essential sun protection.

The Gold Standard in Sun Protection

As we look toward 2026, our mission remains the same: helping you enjoy the outdoors with confidence. Whether you’re on a local pickleball court or a remote tropical shore, our certified UPF 50+ headwear is designed to provide a physical shield against 98% of harmful UV rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens, our fabrics offer consistent protection that never wears off.

Designed in Texas, Crafted for the World

In an era of fast fashion, we take pride in our "Slow Design" philosophy. We focus on handcrafted details, custom hardware, and timeless silhouettes that last season after season. Our "Tropical Luxe" collections are more than just vacation wear; they are the travel companions for thousands of adventurers. From the world’s finest resorts to your own backyard, Sun 'N' Sand® is proud to be the gold standard in functional elegance.

Thank you for being part of our journey for the last 40 years. Here’s to many more sun-soaked adventures together.
