Black and white coastal wall art captures the movement, texture and atmosphere of the ocean through a timeless monochrome palette. From quiet beaches and open horizons to surfers, palm trees, rocky coastlines and iconic Australian beaches, this collection explores the coast through photography stripped back to its most essential elements.
There is something particularly striking about black and white beach prints. Without colour competing for attention, the eye naturally follows the shape of the shoreline, the movement of waves, the contrast between ocean and sky, and the silhouettes of people and landscapes. The result is coastal artwork that can feel relaxed and natural while still working beautifully in a contemporary interior.
The collection brings together black and white beach photos from some of Australia's best-known coastal locations, including Bondi, Byron Bay, Wategos, Newport Beach, Bronte and the Great Ocean Road. Alongside beaches, you'll find ocean photography, coastal landscapes, surfers, beach architecture and palm trees, each photographed in a monochrome style that gives the subject a more graphic and timeless quality.
Black and white ocean pictures can make a particularly strong statement when displayed at a larger scale, where the details of waves, rocks and open water have room to breathe. Smaller black and white beach wall art can work just as well as part of a gallery wall or as a quieter addition to a bedroom, hallway, office or coastal living space.
Every photograph in the collection is an original image captured by photographer Seus Ku. Available as fine art prints with a range of framing options, these photographs bring together the character of the Australian coast with the simplicity and versatility of black and white photography.
Let customers speak for us
Beautifully shot photography, the quality and resolution is perfect
We recently moved into a new home and wanted a modern, minimalist, coastal feel. Oblong's B&W coastal prints have been the perfect addition. We've decorated three different rooms with them. Very happy with the print and frame quality....and the price point.
Love my new print. I just ordered a 3rd print to go with two others in my daughter’s bedroom. The colours are amazing. Looks stunning 🤩
Beautiful prints. Had a little issue with the frames not matching in colour too well but Trevor was a real help. He had the problem sorted very quickly & I’m very happy with the result
Hi,
Thank you,
It is really nice, very good quality and I recieved the prints quicker than expected.
A great online experience overall
I ordered a style your own gallery set for my bedroom and everything looks incredible. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I have a little bit of vacation tucked away at home with me.
Great clear image, printed on thick quality paper. Delivery was quick waited approximately 2 weeks. Excellent value will definitely order more prints.
Absolutely stunning. They look fantastic and being a rich warmth to the space. The quality is top notch and they were packaged extremely well. I would highly recommend these prints and in fact any prints from Oblong.
Stunning shots of Italy now adorn my upstairs landing space for my guest’s to enjoy on arrival.
I grew up in Cronulla so to find a print with my grandparents flat was magic. Framed and delivered well I would highly recommend the oblong shop.
The set looks great in my Florida home! I did change out the hardware on the back to hang. But overall I’m very pleased!
Not only is the print beautiful and perfect. More importantly the customer service was fast, efficient and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend ordering from here.
The picture is beautiful and fits well in our room!
Reminds me of the many trips to the Islands Mon!
I have been eyeing this print for Months! I love it! Wished I had of bought a larger one but do have the other palm print beside it and I love it!
