items The Florida essentials outside the obvious (snacks)!
Just get SOME kind. You’ll need it here. People aren’t the only things thriving in Florida. I once had (not kidding) 30 bites on one ass cheek. And more on the other (insert jokes here).
Best Insect & Pest Repellent Body Sprays
I used to be terrible at remembering sunscreen, but here the sun will kick your ass fast, even on cloudy days.
Sunscreen
Sometimes you don’t plan on hitting water, but it happens here. Don’t stay soggy!
Beach Towels
Sometimes you’ll run into a spot that’s cash only here. So be safe and just take some cash!
Cash
You don’t have to spend a ton. Shield those peepers though. It can get so bright, you may turn your head and hiss like a vampire. Polarized is cool cuz it helps you see some of the wildlife in the water better sometimes.
Polarized sunglasses
These babies have kept my preciouses safe when I’m going to the beach or near some body of water. And there’s water everywhere here.
Dry Bag
You don’t need to have a baby to love these! You never know what you’ll get into when you’re traveling, these just make clean up easier. Use it before and after your beach picnics or dirty feet!
Baby wipes
This little guy allows you to zip through the tolls easily!
SunPass
I know, I know. Sounds crazy, but this is the best lip balm, especially for Florida. Works wonders.
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter BUT use it as lip balm!!
You’ll see these everywhere here. Of course if you’re visiting, it won’t make sense. But if you’re moving here or live here, these come in handy for sure. Just make sure you stake em down, don’t let it blow away like I did.
Beach Tent
When you’re lazy like me and don’t want to haul a bunch of shit since you already have to walk a bit. This is lightweight so you don’t feel like a mule.
LOTTAFUN 10ft Beach Shelter Umbrella UPF50+
It’s Fl, homies. You need to waterproof! Take the tunes and maybe have a dance party wherever you go!
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Waterproof and sand proof. Sand can stick to regular towels like Velcro. Then once it dries, that shit is all over your car. Save yourself the hassle!
Sandproof Beach Blanket
My ass is lazy. I don’t want to tote a cooler on wheels and other shit. If it doesn’t fit into my bag, it’s not going. Sometimes the beach walks can be lengthy, and I’d rather have something on my shoulder or back vs cursing at something dragging in ...
Small Cooler
Doesn’t matter what kind, you’ll need water here! Some places you go can over charge the shit out of you for water. Get a bottle that stays cold longer.
Water Bottles
I swear by this shit, and I recently started using it as a face moisturizer. There were times I came home red, slathered up and then never burned! It’s magic in a bottle and nothing has beat this.
After Browning Lotion – Maui Babe, Inc.
This has saved me more than once! When you’re out all day, you’re going to need this to charge you back up so you can navigate back to wherever your bed may be!

I take these kinds of bags everywhere. And I use any plastic bags to throw wet swimwear into, tie them up and then throw it and other things into these bags. Makes it easy to carry!

This is great for finding sharks teeth or even cool shells.

I used to have one til I gave it to my lawn guy on a hot summer day. They’re not going to chill you, but do feel nice when it’s hotter than Satan’s butthole.
