1. The Original Bogg® Bag
We love spending the day relaxin' in the sand but we don't love bringing that sand back home with us. The Original Bogg® Bag solves this problem as the material lends itself to being easily rinsed off and wiped down, leaving behind any sandy remnants. The bag was also designed to be sturdy and tip-proof to keep your belongings safe the whole day. The perfect beach day starts with the perfect bag, available in over 40 colors and patterns!
2. Sunkissed Trucker Hat
If you plan to sit in the sun all day, a hat is a must-have. Keep your scalp safe from sunburns, and protect your eyes with any hat that matches your style. We like this one from Altar'd State due to the beach-y colors and breathable mesh fabric to keep you cool in the summer sun, but any hat will work and is a staple for your ultimate beach bag.
3. Book Beau Water Resistant 3.0 Book Sleeve
Reading on the beach is a MUST for most people but the fear of your book getting sandy or wet from the ocean is real. Keep your book safe by storing it in a water resistant book sleeve from Book Beau, available in cute designs and even some based on your favorite authors! The protective sleeve keeps your current reads safe from crushed pages and bent covers so you can toss it in your beach bag worry-free.
4. Glossier Invisible Shield
Sunscreen is an essential part of having a good trip to the beach, but most sunblocks are too thick and greasy to use on your face without clogging your pores. Make sure to have a trusty face sunscreen as well, something lighter and formulated specifically to avoid causing breakouts or other skin complications. The Invisible Shield from Glossier is a personal go-to, but anything that has enough SPF for your liking will do!
5. Sun Bum Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 30
While you're protecting the rest of your skin from harsh UVs, don't forget your lips! It's hard to remember to put sunblock on your lips, but that skin can burn too and become painful. This sunscreen lip balm is SPF 30 and will keep you protected while you have fun in the sun all day. Plus, we love the fruity flavors available.
6. YETI Rambler® Water Bottle
When you're in the sun all day, it is important to stay hydrated. An insulated water bottle, like this bold teal one from YETI, is a must to keep your water cool and refreshing for the entire beach trip. This water bottle comes in multiple striking colors that are perfect for the summer and has three sizes for you to choose from.
7. Sony XE300 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Keep the vibes high and the tunes flowing with a portable, waterproof speaker. The beachy color and waterproof design make it the perfect choice to toss in your beach bag, whether your beach day calls for pop hits, country ballads or anything in between!
8. west elm Biarritz Woven Stripe Beach Towel
There is nothing more classic for a beach day than a cabana stripe towel. This style of beach towel is decorated with large, colorful stripes that could easily be found in a sunny island cabana or in your beach bag! The Biarritz Woven Stripe Beach Towel is large enough to dry you off after a dip in the ocean or to sprawl out and work on your tan, and it comes in five timelessly bold colors!
