The Best Speakers for All Your Summer Activities

Turtlebox speakers are built for adventure—rugged, portable, and loud enough for the whole crew. From car camping at Big Bend to golf weekends in Northern Michigan, pack your gear, bring your friends and family, and turn up the volume on wherever you find the wild.

For activities with up to 100 people, like beach hangs, bonfires and off-shore fishing, consider the Grande, Turtlebox's loudest speaker yet.

In Southern California, surfing is a community, a way of holding yourself in the world, a sensibility tuned to the ocean’s beat. You don’t even have to surf to catch on. But it’s true that a bracing alertness fills the air. The tidal pulse radiates out from the sand into Southern California’s towns and cities, the breakfast spots and boardwalks—a Cali vibe, chill but ready for the swell. 

Waikiki Beach on the Long Beach Peninsula is the greatest place for driftwood. All of the Oregon Coast is public, so the whole thing is a viable bonfire/hang destination. Short Sands for surfing, Manzanita for a cool town.

Set your sights on Islamorada, also known as the “Sports Fishing Capital of the World,” where kayaking or and boating-parties magnet a mile off shore. 

For activities with up to 40 people like post-hike tailgates, car camping and fly fishing, you can't go wrong with Turtlebox's flagship model, the Original: Gen 3.

Take in exposed swaths of quartz-streaked rock, or in the fall, come for brilliant leaf color and watch the “Shadow of the Bear” appear on the mountain at sunset.

The wide-open country. Set up camp at Rio Grande Village, crank the tunes, and let the stars shine bring in that peaceful desert bliss.

If a group is based in Missoula they’d be close to several renowned fly shops (Grizzly Hackle and Rock Creek Mercantile, notably), blue-ribbon streams and could make longer expeditions to the Bitterroot Valley and Madison Valley.

For activities with up to 10 people like golfing, hikes and rock climbing, the Ranger, Turtlebox's most portable model, is perfect.

From Arcadia to Harbor Springs, rolling fairways and lakeside views make Northern Michigan a prime golf destination.

Hiking in the Colorado Rockies brings in crisp air, alpine views and trails that start in town like Chautauqua Park in Boulder and lead straight into the heart of the Flatirons.

In Joshua Tree's Hidden Valley, the quiet of the desert settles in like an old friend. Climbing here feels timeless, with sandstone routes and towering rock walls.
