My beach bag is basically my little sun-soaked survival kit. I’ve got my favorite spfs for that glossy glow + sun protection, a big floppy straw hat for shade, and oversized sunnies for that effortless cool-girl vibe.

For snacks, it’s all about fresh fruit and trail mix—easy to grab between swims. And tucked in a side pocket? My lip balm with SPF and a little pouch for hair ties and mini perfume mist—because beach goddess energy is all about the details.
