Sun Protection
Love this sunscreen! Keeps me protected and smells good. It doesn't have that typical sunscreen smell. It even has a little shimmer in the lotion to give you an extra glow.
Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance Lotion Sunscreen - SPF 50
Sliding this in because my lips got sunburnt this month. I didn't know they could, but here I am to let you know to take care of them!
Hawaiian Tropic Lip Balm, SPF 30
Pop up beach tent! I just found out about these. These are perfect for days you want to be at the beach but need a little refuge from the sun. It's light and easy to pop up and take down.
UPF 50+ Pop Up Beach Tent
Cute little bucket hat to get the sun out of your face!
Off White Bucket Hat
Soothing gel that helps your skin calm down after a good day at the beach. I got sunburnt at a tennis match (forgot to put on sunscreen) and applied this all over my body. Helped with the sunburn pain!

Obsessed with this top! Love that this bikini top doubles as a casual day top as well.
x BELLA HADID Springtime Bikini Top - Frankies Bikinis
I bought this at a Pull & Bear store overseas (no brick and mortars in the U.S.) thinking it was a swim coverup. But hey, it works really well! I like to wear this to/from the beach with my bikini underneath. It's perfect for a light coverup
Long sleeve shift dress - pull&bear
Leopard is having its moment this summer and I'm obsessed. Love this one piece!
Leopard print halter bathing suit - pull&bear
Target bikini top! An affordable option compared to other swimsuit brands. I have had a solid red one for two years now and they're still fine.
Women's Underwire Bikini Top - Shade & Shore™
Target bikini bottoms! Can be worn as part of a set or on their one. I have a pair of the solid red set and have worn it for two summers now.

Classic striped beach towel to lay on/dry off at the beach :)
Pink/Yellow Reversible Beach Towel
Crocs are an AMAZING option to wear to the pool or beach. I recommend these sandals if you're not feeling the classis Croc clog! Super lightweight and definitely waterproof.
Women's Miami Toe Loop Sandal - Crocs
I invested in these sunnies! I've had these for years and it protects my eyes well from the sun without it being too dark. Love these pair so much
Burberry at Sunglass Hut®
Great beach bag! Holds everything I need for a solo beach day.
The Beach Bag in Laurens Pink Stripe
Small cooler for your drinks and snacks. I have the 38qt one that I like to bring when going to the beach with a big group of people! I recommend this small one too with smaller groups.
Igloo 18 Cans/12qt Hard-Sided Coolers
Loved Beach Read by Emily Henry! I'm a little cheesy so I definitely brought this to the beach to read. Any Emily Henry book is a great book to bring to the beach.

You might have strong negative feelings about Crocs but they are such a good beach shoe!! Light yet sturdy enough to walk through sand. Also waterproof
