Ahh, summer. In some places in the world, beach days are squashed into to just a few months a year, and unless you're lucky enough to live in an oceanside city, your days are even more limited.
Before you head out for a day of sand and sun, don't forget to pack these beach essentials!
- Sturdy sun umbrella or beach shade
-
Sunscreen: seriously. Get your tan in spray form, and keep the sun off of that skin. I personally love: Alba Hawaiian Clear Sunscreen Spray SPF 50, Aveeno Protect + Hydrate SPF 70, and California Baby Sunscreen Stick SPF 30+
- Flowy swimsuit cover-up (Below: Indigo Beach Kimono $32)
-
Comfy seating or an inflatable lazy bed for a quick mid-day nap
-
Games and beach sports: stay active between dips
-
Water: don't forget to hydrate throughout the day, and save on exorbitant prices at the beachside canteen by bringing your own refillable bottle
-
Portable bluetooth speaker: DJ an impromptu sunset dance party in the sand
-
Oversized beach blanket or towel: make room for everyone!
- Carry-all beach tote to carry all of the above (plus snacks!)
