Hadley and Junebug
Hadley
Hadley is an Outer Banks native, having grown up in Duck and now living in Historic Corolla Village. She loves being outside, on or in the water, and walking barefoot around the neighborhood with her trusty sidekick, Junebug. She started Coastal Explorations in 2008 and has been sharing her love of the sound with customers ever since.
Chloe
Meet Chloe! Hailing from the great metropolis of Rochester, New York, with her sister Keely, she’s mastering the art of multimedia journalism at Canisius University. By day, she's snapping photos that could make your dog look like a supermodel paddling a kayak. And by evening, she's a collegiate cross-country runner, so you’ll probably see her sprinting down Ocean Trail. When she’s off the clock, you’ll catch her carving up the streets with her longboard, hacky sacking in foreign lands, or soaking up the sunshine on the beach. She’s excited to spend her first summer at Coastal Explorations!
Keely
Marketing, writing and kayaking — can she do it all? Well, meet Keely a real jack of all trades! She’s previously worked as a Zipline Guide in Catalina Island, Camp Councelor in Germany and Spain and Cruiseship Stewardess in Alaska among other amazing gigs she’s scored. Keely recently graduated from the American College of Greece with a Masters degree in Digital Communication and Social Media. Having traveled to 49/50 states makes her well versed in the sights and sounds of foreign lands. Keely and her sister Chloe have found their way to the shores of OBX to start a new adventure on the water together!
