The Postal Service will release its A Day at the Beach stamps on Friday, April 24.
The stamps celebrate the simple joys of coastal life in four designs.
The artwork highlights a sandcastle taking shape, a seagull perched on a wooden piling, a bicycle parked near the shoreline and a reader resting beneath a colorful umbrella.
Artist Gregory Manchess created the images in oil on board. Derry Noyes, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps.
Noyes said the designs were inspired by her annual summertime trips to beaches in New England.
“These little snapshots are reminiscent of those experiences, a break from busy lives and demands throughout the year,” she said.
USPS will dedicate the A Day at the Beach stamps in Burlingame, CA, at the Westpex 2026 stamp show.
The Forever stamps will be available in booklets of 20 at Post Offices and at usps.com.
