Nothing is worse, in our opinion, than getting to the beach and realizing you should have brought. You need not worry; we have all been in that situation and understand how frustrating it can be. We are here to make sure that never occurs to you again.
When it comes to a beach trip, a little bit of preparation can go a long way. With our collection of beach basics, tech, and accessories, you’ll be prepared for summer in no time. Consider this your ideal beach packing list!
- High-SPF, water-resistant sunscreen
It goes without saying that you must use a proper sunscreen. I love sunscreens that continuously spray on my skin. There are excellent water resistant lotion sunscreens if you don’t like spray-on sunscreens. Keep in mind that a single application of sunscreen won’t provide all-day protection. The majority of water-resistant sunscreens make an 80-minute protection guarantee. This implies that throughout the day, you’ll need to reapply sunscreen multiple times, especially if you frequently use the water.
- Beach Tent
It only takes 10 seconds to set up this pop-up beach tent. (and outperforms a beach umbrella in every aspect!) With many pockets, certified sun and UV protection, and all-day shade, it is also windproof and waterproof. It is the ideal sun shade for beach vacations with families and groups.
- Sunglasses with UV protection and polarisation
In the bright sun, wearing a good pair of sunglasses will protect your eyes.It doesn’t have to be expensive for a trendy pair that provide UV and glare protection. The American Academy of Ophthalmology states that “on bright sunny days, polarised lenses can improve clarity and minimise eye strain… Being directly assaulted in the eyes by a bright shaft of sunlight is uncomfortable and possibly harmful.If you wear glasses on a regular basis as I do, your opticianmay be able to prescribe some sunglasses for you, or you may wish to try a pair that slips over your current spectacles.
- Portable Bluetooth speaker from UE Wonderboom
One of the best waterproof portable speakers is the UE Wonderboom ultra portable Bluetooth speaker. One of our top beach needs, it is a shockproof, waterproof, and even floats speaker that is perfect for all weather circumstances.
- Beach Umbrella
I believe you now understand where I’m going with all of these suggestions. Avoid the sun as much as you can. For up to two adults, a bright beach umbrella is the ideal shade solution. Although we’ve managed to fit up to three persons under one beach umbrella, they’re truly best for two or fewer people.
- Beach Towel
With the colourful selection of beach towels offered, say goodbye to conventionally large, heavy beach towels. In addition to being small, they are also light, rapid drying, and sand resistant. If ever I saw a beach packing list important, this is it! And compared to conventional travel towels, which are frequently boring and composed of uninteresting fabrics, this beach blanket is a lot better choice! Spread out on your sand-free surface after grabbing an extra-large one! (If you want to lounge on a sunbed, we also suggest bringing along a set of towel clips to keep your towel in place and eliminate the struggle of trying to keep it flat when you lie down)
- Thermal Water Bottle
You should remember to stay hydrated when at the beach in addition to using sunscreen. Bring plenty of chilled water with you so you can stay hydrated all day. I adore my substantial Yeti rambler. I believe that the fact that it is dishwasher safe and holds a lot of water is a significant selling factor
- Sun Hat
A fashionable and functional sun hat. This straw hat can be adjusted, has a wide brim to shield from the sun, and it folds up effortlessly to fit in any bag. This, along with a stylish bikini, are your absolute must-have beach essentials if you love Instagram and want to get some of those nostalgic tropical vibe back of the head beach images!
- Beach Mat
Okay, so one of the inconveniences we put up with when spending a day at the beach is getting sand all over yourself and all your belongings.
BUT supposing you could prevent sand from getting on your beach towel? Sand-proof beach mats are created specifically to allow any sand that touches them to filter down through, but not to migrate back up.
- Kindle
If you’re anything like me, you know that spending some time at the beach is the ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in a fantastic book. While I also enjoy the feel of a book, I often find that when I’m travelling, I just don’t want to bring about the extra weight. This is where my Kindle Oasis e-reader comes in. It is ideal for use in sunlight, next to water, and for saving space in my luggage because it has adaptive backlight technology, waterproof construction, and the capacity to stack numerous beaches reads on there at once.
So, those were our recommendations for a Beach Day packing list. We hope you found this blog interesting and informative! What’s your favourite beach essential? Let us know in the comments below.
