Don't get to the beach and realize you forgot something important. This packing list covers the must-have essentials plus a few extras that can make your beach day even better.
Sand can be hot to walk on - flip-flops help you get across the sane without burning your feet. (No one likes sand in their shoes - right?!)

Water shoes are a nice to have beach item - shells can be sharp and so can rocks. Nothing worse than a cut foot while at the beach.
Ubfen Water Shoes
I don't know about you, but sunglasses are a must! Keep your eyes safe from the sun.

I love these oversize towels/beach blankets. The extra size helps keep the sand off.
Beach Towels & Blankets- 10% Donated to Protect Oceans
I love a good beach chair - they are way more comfortable than sitting in the sand.
So you went in the water but are now dealing with how to handle a wet suit before heading back to the car. Bring a wet bag to put your wet gear in - just remember to get it out of the bag once you are home for the day.

Beach hats are also a great thing to take to the beach - if it's not too windy!

When at the beach…a sand free bag is useful.
Dejaroo Mesh Sand Free Lightweight Tote
You'll likely be eating a little something at the beach and who wants to run to the bathroom to clean hands - not me!
Wet Wipes
Headed to the beach with kids? Might want to consider a kickboard (or similar).

If you (or someone) going to the beach isn't a swimmer for sure bring a life jacket - sure you might look nerdy, but it could save a life.
