The Only Beach Packing List You Need This Sea-Son
Heading to the beach? Stop right there! You can’t go anywhere without these beach essentials - because it’s all fun and games until you get back from your beach getaway with terrible sunburn and a whole lot of regrets, right?
Most of us know that there’s nothing like spontaneously deciding to pack your bags for a little fun in the sun. The problem is, although it took all of 0.7 seconds to say YES to salty water and the ocean breeze, it takes way longer to pack for them. But don’t worry, we’ve curated the very best checklist for impromptu beach decisions.
Scroll through for the complete packing list!
1- Sunscreen
Obviously a top priority, sunscreens protect your skin from inevitable sun damage. Safety first, fun later!
2- Lip Balm
Chapped and dry lips hurt - take it from us. It’s important to layer your lips with lip balm to ensure that you don’t go home with cracked smoochers.
3- Shampoo
After collecting enough sand and salt in your hair, wash it with a reliable shampoo that not only smells good, but also nourishes your luscious strands.
4- Conditioner
The beach unfortunately has a drying effect on our hair, so make sure that you follow shampooing up with a good conditioner.
5- Body Soap
Leaving salt water on your skin tends to make it itch (we’re sure you’re aware). Don’t neglect packing a bottle or bar of body wash!
6- Lotion/Gel
Post-bath, soften and soothe your skin with lotion or gel - whether you’re sunburnt ot not.
7- Hairbrush
We’re sure that after enjoying all the water-based activities, your once put-together hair now resembles a beehive. Smooth out your looks with a good hairbrush!
8- Sunglasses
Squinting ain’t cute. Grab a pair of your favorite sunglasses so you can freely and clearly admire the beautiful view.
9- Swimwear
You can’t jump in the water without proper swimwear. Whether you’re a one or two-piece kinda gal, we’ve got a wide collection of swimsuits to suit your taste.
10- Beach towel
Wipe yourself down with a top quality beach towel. They’re also great to spread out on the sand for you to sit comfortably.
11- Cover-up
Walk on the shore with confidence in our stylish cover-ups. Because sometimes, a beach stroll is all we really need.
12- Flip Flops
You’ll also need a sturdy pair of flip flops to handle all that sand.
13- Beach Bag
Where are you going to pack all this stuff? A beach bag, of course! Make sure to get yourself a big enough bag that is both water and sand friendly.
14- Waterproof Phone Case
Nowadays, you won’t catch anyone without their phone - even at the beach! Purchase a good waterproof phone case to make sure your phone is safe.
15- Cooler Bag
If you’re bringing refreshments along with you to your beach getaway, make sure you pack them in a cooler bag to keep them ice-cold.
16- Windproof Umbrella
You can’t lounge under the sun without an umbrella. Save yourself the hassle and the pain by getting a windproof one!
17- Portable Phone Charger
We’re sure you’ll be capturing unforgettable memories with your phone’s camera. Bring along a power bank so that your phone lasts all day.
18- Water Bottle
Hydration is important. Don’t forget to get yourself a water bottle to sip on good ol’ H2O throughout the day.
19- Hand Fan
It’s summer. It’s hot. We know this and we’re not complaining. But we can make the heat more bearable by packing a hand fan.
20- Water Shoes
Especially important for rocky shores, water shoes protect your feet so you can painlessly enjoy the beach!
21- A Good Book
Laying out to tan can get kind of boring - not with a good book, though.
22- Goggles
Have you ever accidentally opened your eyes under salt water? It burns. You need goggles, trust us.
23- Snorkel
If you don’t already own snorkeling equipment, it’s time to invest in one! Why miss out on beautiful ocean life, right?
24- Sand Castle Tools
No matter how old we get, playing with sand always sounds fun. Pack some sand castle tools to help you create your sand-made masterpiece.
