Beach Please, 10 Beach Essentials

Hello Gorgeous!

It’s that time of the season…beach time! Whether the beach is 30 minutes away or 10 hours away, being prepared is key. I’ve got you covered with the ultimate list of beach essentials. These are 10 must-haves to pack for your sun-soaked adventure (not in any particular order):

1. Sunscreen: Protecting your skin is a must. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF to shield against both UVA and UVB rays. Don’t forget to reapply! Order from Amazon.com
2. Beach Towel/Mat: A quick-dry beach towel or a comfy mat is perfect for lounging. Pick one that’s lightweight and sand-resistant. I bought some beach towels at my local Wal-Mart.
3. Hydration Essentials: Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Add some fruit slices for a refreshing twist! I use my Stanley cup.
4. Swimwear and Cover-Up: Pack your favorite bikini, one-piece, or trunks, along with a stylish cover-up for a chic beach-to-street look. Shop SheIN.com
5. Sun Hat and Sunglasses: Shield your face and eyes from the sun with a wide-brim hat and UV-protected sunglasses.
6. Beach Bag: A spacious, water-resistant bag to carry all your essentials. Bonus points if it’s stylish! Here is my favorite from Amazon.com
7. Snacks and Light Meals: Pack some easy-to-eat goodies like fruit, trail mix, and sandwiches. Don’t forget a cooler to keep things fresh!
8. Entertainment: Bring a good book, your favorite playlist, or a beach game like frisbee or paddleball.
9. Skin Soothers: After a day in the sun, your skin deserves some TLC. Bring aloe vera gel or a soothing after-sun lotion.
10. Portable Speaker: Set the vibe with some tunes! A waterproof, portable speaker is ideal for beach days. Five Below has decent affordable speakers.

With these essentials, you’ll be prepared to relax and soak up the sun in style. So, pack your beach bag, grab your sunnies, and let’s hit the waves!
