Women's Maxi Dresses
Women's maxi dresses for beach days and warm nights, stocked at Island Water Sports since 1978. We carry flowing maxis and coverup styles from Billabong, Roxy, Rhythm, O'Neill, Rip Curl, Maaji and LSpace, the same brands our four South Florida shops have leaned on for decades.
The range covers tiered and halter silhouettes, breezy beach coverups like the O'Neill Sai and Billabong Undone, printed florals from Maaji, and easy slip-on shapes built for sand, boardwalk and dinner after. Prints run from check and tropical to solid saltwater tones, with light, soft fabrics made to move in Florida heat.
What is the difference between a maxi dress and a maxi coverup?
Both fall to the ankle. Coverups like the O'Neill Sai and Billabong Undone are cut looser to throw over a swimsuit, while dresses such as the Roxy Lily Bloom or Rhythm Jaci are finished to wear on their own.
Are these dresses good for the beach?
Yes. Most use lightweight, quick-drying fabrics that pack down small and shake out wrinkle-free, which is why they are a staple at our Deerfield Beach flagship.
