Beach Day Essentials

I was packing up for a beach trip and was checking to see what others usually bring to the beach to make the most out of their trips, so I thought I'd what I usually bring to the beach and what products I think work best!

1. Towel/Beach Blanket
2. Water
3. Sunglasses & Hat
4. Sunscreen
5. Entertainment
6. Plastic Bags
7. Beach Bag

Depending upon my beach trips I bring more or less stuff. Usually if I'm going out for a whole day  trip I'll bring some snacks, cooler, chair, and body board. Quicker trips I just bring the essentials.

1. For my towel I usually use a thiner towel just to dry off or use as a pillow, and then a large beach blanket for lounging on.

2. Water is obviously super important to take to the beach not all beaches provide a water fountain or hose. I use my Hydroflask it stores just enough water for and is durable and heat resistant at the beach. (Tangelo Hydroflask 32oz wide mouth)

3. For sunglasses I don't have a specific brand I wear the ones I have I got at little beach shop at Stinson Beach in Northern California. They are really sturdy and are a great color for the beach. Also I love having hats at the beach for when I am not swimming because I like to braid my hair and it protects my scalp and face from burning.

4. I have very sensitive skin so I ONLY use Neutrogena on my face, but for the rest of my body I use Sun Bum, Neutrogena, or Hawaiian Tropic.

5. For entertainment I often just bring a volleyball or football, if it's just me I will bring a book to relax for a little in the sand.

6. Plastic Ziploc bags are crucial for me at the beach. I put my phone, electronics, money, and credit cards/license in there. It keeps the sand and water out and gives you easy access to those items when you need them.

7. For my beach bag I often use for a drawstring backpack or canvas tote that holds my stuff.



For longer beach trips I usually bring my cooler with some snacks and extra water. The cooler that I use was a gift to me and I love it!! It is the Pelican Cooler in Sea foam and Gray 30 quart.
