This cooler bag from Yeti is amazing! I can't even explain how long things stay cold in here. Perfect for a beach that might be a drive away.

We love a beach mat like this! It's very thin, so it works best as a layer underneath something more comfortable like a picnic mat. Keeps things so much cleaner!

An oversized towel like this is a game changer- as an adult, so many beach towels are too small to lay out on! Plus, the extra room means you can fold some of it back for a pillow.

I am very loyal to Supergoop sunscreen- I really find that it doesn't feel greasy at all and yet works great.
