this is a list of items i will always carry with me on a beach day after making a few mistakes the first time i went to the beach 😅
Â
it’s essential to keep everything in one place while at the beach, so i always remember to have a roomy tote bag.

unless you like squinting while the the sun is beating down on you, you’ll need a decent pair of sunglasses. bring an extra one for your friend who may have forgotten theirs!

if you’re at the beach and want to sit back and relax, reading a book on the beach is such a nice change of scenery.

make sure to stay hydrated being out in the sun. a double vacuum container also helps to keep the water extra cool in the heat.
lots of water

the first time i went to the beach i brought slides and my whole foot slipped through the front so take it from me - flip flops are the way to go.

before reapplying your sunscreen, get rid of bacteria with a few spritzes of hypochlorus acid.

i like having a separate body sunscreen aside from my face one because i’m covering more surface area and the rest of my skin isn’t as sensitive as my face so one sunscreen for face and body is essential.
