A day at the beach is synonymous with relaxation, sunshine, and escape. However, a few oversights can quickly turn this enjoyable moment into a source of discomfort. An unabsorbent towel, a bag that’s too small, or the lack of sun protection can ruin your day.
To fully enjoy every moment, here is a list of essentials to pack in your bag before you go.
Appropriate Sun Protection
The sun is pleasant, but it is essential to protect your skin.
Before any exposure, apply sunscreen suited to your phototype and reapply every two hours, as well as after each swim.
Also, don't forget:
- a lip balm with UV protection;
- a pair of UV400 certified sunglasses;
- a hat or cap to protect your face.
Good protection allows you to enjoy the beach with peace of mind.
A Large Water Bottle
Heat promotes dehydration, often without us realizing it.
Bring an insulated water bottle or a large water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
You can also bring:
- water-rich fresh fruits (watermelon, melon, grapes);
- some light snacks;
- dried fruits to keep your energy up.
A Comfortable Beach Towel
The towel is probably the accessory you will use the most during your day.
A quality towel should be large enough to lie down comfortably, soft against the skin, absorbent after swimming, and resistant to sand and washing.
Choosing a premium beach towel significantly improves your comfort, whether for sunbathing, reading a book, or simply relaxing by the sea.
A Practical and Durable Beach Bag
Your beach bag should be able to hold all your essentials without becoming cumbersome.
The ideal is to choose a robust, spacious, and comfortable-to-carry model.
It should allow you to easily carry:
- your towel;
- your sunscreen;
- your water bottle;
- your glasses;
- a book or e-reader;
- some spare clothes.
A well-designed bag makes all your movements between the car, the beach, or the pool easier.
A Book or Relaxing Activity
The beach is the ideal place to slow down.
A novel, a magazine, a travel journal, or an e-reader allows you to fully enjoy moments of calm between two swims.
You can also plan for:
- headphones;
- a portable speaker (while being considerate of other vacationers);
- a deck of cards or a beach game.
Lightweight Clothing
Even in summer, it's nice to have a light outfit for moving around or when the wind picks up.
Remember to bring:
- a sarong;
- a linen shirt;
- light shorts;
- a beach dress.
These clothes dry quickly and provide additional comfort.
A Waterproof Pouch
To protect your valuables, a waterproof pouch is an excellent investment.
It allows you to keep safe:
- phone;
- wallet;
- keys;
- identification documents.
You can then enjoy swimming with peace of mind.
Accessories for Even More Comfort
A few accessories can make all the difference:
- a fan or a mini rechargeable fan;
- an external battery;
- a small first aid kit;
- a facial mist;
- comfortable sandals.
These small details make the day even more enjoyable.
