Sunscreens
The Hawaiian Tropic face sunscreen is always in my beach bag. I like to use at least 30 SPF on my face and this one is great. Super lightweight, non greasy, and doesn’t break my face out.
Weightless Hydration Face Lotion SPF 30
Another sunscreen I always keep in my beach bag is the Banana Boat 15 SPF dry oil. I like to use this on my arms, legs, and stomach. It’s a great oil that goes on dry/not greasy but still gives me some protection from the sun!
Banana Boat Dry Oil Sunscreen Spray, SPF 15, 9.5 oz
When I am at the beach, I always make sure I use a higher SPF for my chest to prevent aging/sun damage. This lotion smells great and is my go to every single beach season!
My lips are really sensitive to the sun which means I always make sure I have SPF lip balm with my at the beach. I always get the Sun Bum 3 pack because I always have a backup and the flavors are great.
Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Lip Balm 3-Pack
I use this mineral power sunscreen on my scalp when laying out at the beach. It’s super lightweight and easy to apply. It’s also a dupe for the Hawaiian Tropic brand that is a little more expensive! Definitely recommend if your scalp is sensitive.
Mineral Sunscreen Setting Powder SPF 35
When I’m looking to get a little extra color, I use this intensive tanning gel. It helps me get super dark. The scent is light and it has a shiny bronze tint to it. It can stain your bikinis or clothes so be careful!
Carroten Intensive Tanning Gel Browning Tan
This dark tanning oil is my go-to when I want to get as DARK as possible for beach days. It smells nice and goes on very easily. I 100% recommend using your SPF first and then layering this over it so you don’t burn. I use a small tanning mitt to app...
Dark Tanning Oil
Essential Items
I cannot stand to get my tanning oil all over my hands when applying at the beach so I use a tanning mitt. I drop some oil on myself and then use the mitt to lightly spread it around. Works great and is easy to fit in my beach bag!
Tanning Mitt
I always bring these sand removal mitts in my bag. They easily remove sand from my body when it’s time to leave the beach, or even when trying to re-apply sunscreen! Definitely a must have.
Palksky 4PCS Sand Remover Bag & Brush Set
I absolutely love my Sand Cloud towels! They are super lightweight and sand does not stick to them at all. They have so many cute designs and even have different sizes.

I always make sure I bring my towel clips with me to the beach. They clip right on the back of my beach chair and make sure my towel doesn’t slip. I never forget them.

I always bring my 40 oz Stanley with me on my beach days. 40 oz is plenty to keep me hydrated throughout the day and the Stanley makes sure my water stays cold all day. I absolutely LOVE the Rose Quartz Glow color because it reminds me of a glowing t...
Adventure Quencher H2.0 Travel Tumbler | 40 oz
I always make sure to bring a hair brush with me to the beach. Whether I am getting in and out of the ocean, or it’s just super windy, my hair always gets tangled. This mini brush is perfect to quickly run through my hair.

I like to have one of these water proof phone pouches in my beach bag. They really do protect your phone from water whether you are dodging waves or floating. My large IPhone Max fits fine.

I will never own a different brand of everyday flip flops other than my Rainbows. If you’ve ever owned a pair, you know why! I have them in every color and style and absolutely love them. Once they are broken in, they are the most comfortable shoe ev...
