Meet Nalu Babe Kayla Fahey
From the shores of New Jersey to the heart of Nalu Bay, 19-year-old Kayla Fahey is serving beachside beauty, fierce ambition, and genuine kindness in every frame.
Known on Instagram as @kayla_3609, this Nalu Babe brings her bright personality and lifelong passion for the arts straight into the spotlight. “I love the opportunity to model super cute bathing suits,” she says. “And being part of Nalu Bay has helped me grow my account and feel more confident as a creator.”
Kayla’s free time is anything but boring. She fills her days with everything from hitting the beach and painting to dancing, reading, and visiting her boyfriend in Texas, who’s currently serving in the military. “I love staying active and creative,” she shares. “Whether I’m at the gym, drawing something new, or just enjoying nature, I always want to be learning, moving, or connecting.” Her energy is magnetic—and totally infectious.
Ever since she was little, Kayla dreamed of becoming a dance teacher and a schoolteacher. And guess what? She’s already halfway there. “One of my biggest accomplishments is becoming a dance teacher at the studio I trained at my whole life,” she says proudly. It’s a full-circle moment that proves when you lead with love and dedication, anything’s possible. Her journey is as inspiring as it is impressive.
When asked to describe herself in three words, Kayla doesn’t hesitate: funny, outgoing, and kind.
These traits shine through in everything she does—whether she’s cracking jokes with friends, encouraging young dancers, or striking a pose for the camera. And behind that sunny personality is a deep source of strength: her mom. “She’s been through so much in life and never gave up,” Kayla says. “Watching her taught me how to keep going, no matter how hard things get.”
As for modeling? Kayla’s got big dreams—and she’s not afraid to say them out loud. “I’d love to walk in fashion weeks all over the world,” she says. And with her work ethic, style, and passion, that dream is definitely within reach. Whether she’s modeling by the ocean or taking center stage in a studio, she brings that same radiant energy everywhere she goes.
Want to know a fun fact? Kayla loves deep, intellectually stimulating conversations just as much as she loves beach hangs and solo chill time. “I enjoy growing my knowledge,” she says. “I love being outside, but I also love a cozy night in. And I value my alone time just as much as time with friends.” Basically, she’s the perfect blend of thoughtful and fun—a true Nalu Babe through and through.
Her life advice for our younger readers is real, raw, and straight from the heart: “Life is hard, but you always have to keep going and know that you are enough. Everything works out.” Spoken like someone who knows that strength doesn’t always look loud—and that the softest hearts often carry the most powerful stories.
