Whether you are planning a winter get away to sunnier climes or taking a jaunt down to the local beach there are some must have items you don’t want to be without. Here is a check list for your next trip to the beach:
Large bag; First and foremost you want a nice bag to hold everything you need. Look for Jute Tote Bags or Large Canvas Tote Bags that are resilient to wet and sand as well as attractive. You will be able to fit everything you need and can even keep most of it in the bag for the next trip.
Sunscreen: A bit obvious but this is a must. Look for ultimate protection for both UVA and UVB protection and don’t forget about your lips. Throw in a lip balm with sun protection as well and don’t forget to reapply throughout the day.
Water: You must stay hydrated when in the sun all day so be certain to carry a water bottle filled with fresh water.
Flip Flops: Sand can get very hot and you might not want to travel to the beach in flip flops, but they are flat and easy to slide into your large cotton canvas tote bags and you’ll be glad you did once your toes hit that hot sand.
Large Beach Towel: Whether you bring a beach towel or a blanket you want something to lie on especially if you are sunbathing or picnicking. Sand is such a pain and keeping it off your skin and out of your food is easier when you are on a blanket.
Sunglasses: Of course you wouldn’t be caught dead without a pair of drop dead gorgeous sunglasses, but when you’re going for the look, be sure you are also checking for UVA and UVB protection.
Sunhat: Luckily big, broad brimmed floppy hats are in so find one that suits you and put it in. It will also help protect your face and hair from the harmful rays of the sun.
Spritzer: It can get hot and uncomfortable on the beach and you may want to bring along a spritzer to apply to your face and skin. There are many brands available to provide a little bit of refreshment when things heat up.
Having large jute tote bags filled with these items will have you ready for a trip to the beach at a moment’s notice.
