Is anyone else counting down to their first beach day of the year? I can’t think of a better way to spend a hot summer day than to spend the sun on the sand. But a trip to the beach doesn’t just require a killer swimsuit you’re confident in; it takes a special kind of packing, with a bag full of beach essentials that can help you through whatever the day and sun can throw at you.
I’m well known to my friends as the girl who comes prepared for everything, – from bandaids for blisters at night to hand cream in my tote bag – so of course I have notes and my phone is ready to send to anyone. who asked, “What should I bring to the beach?”
Lucky for you, I’m stocking up on all the beach bag essentials that make a picture-perfect beach day — no sunscreen included.
