Back at the Cove for Round Two. Queen of the Cove.

Year two of Queen of the Cove is in the books, and Fort Pierce came out in full force. For the second year in a row, Bikini Garden Swimwear was proud to sponsor the contest produced by Fort Pierce Famous at The Cove Sandbar, and this one felt even more like home.

Queen of the Cove celebrates everything Bikini Garden stands for: confidence, sunshine, and women lifting each other up. That's the heart of our brand. Every suit we make is handmade in small batches in Brazil with toxin-free fabrics, designed for Florida women who move easily between the beach and the ranch. So when a local event puts real people on stage to celebrate feeling good in their own skin, we want to be part of it.

This year brought more contestants, more sponsors, and a brand-new category: the Cove Daddy. The winners were crowned entirely by public vote, and together they took home more than $3,550 in cash, prizes, and sponsored swag from local businesses.

Congratulations to Lydia (@lydia.adventures), our 2026 Cove Queen, and Carly (@_floridagirll772), our Cove Princess. Each of them will be picking out a new Bikini Garden suit with the gift certificates we contributed, and we can't wait to see which styles they choose. And a big congrats to Jason (@jason_prieto1), who took the very first Cove Daddy title and brought plenty of personality to the sandbar.

Thank you to Fort Pierce Famous for another unforgettable event, and to our fellow sponsors who made this year's prize pot possible: Tormenter Ocean, Caitlin Steele REALTOR, Cool Cat Charters, True Wood Design & Boat Snak, Barrett Rod Co, Sunshine Boudoir Photography, Smokin Fish Charters, and Bruce Stanford Services. It's a community effort, and we're proud to be part of it.
