As summer heats up, there’s no better way to spend your days than basking on the beach, toes in the sand, and the sound of waves crashing in the background. But before you head out to catch those rays and ride those waves, you need to pack the perfect beach bag filled with all the essentials. From chic swimsuits to sun protection, I’ve got you covered with my beach day must-haves.
Beach Day Must-Haves
Crochet Swimsuit Cover Up
A cute cover up is a must for any beach day and this one is at the top of my wishlist! The color is so cute and I love that if you have a bright colored bathing suit on, you’ll be able to see it through the dress.
Two Piece Bathing Suit
The right swimsuit can make you feel like a beach goddess and this one is so cute! I love the contrasting strap details and the neutral tones.
Panama Hat
A wide-brimmed hat provides extra sun protection for your face and neck, plus it adds a touch of elegance to your beach look. This one is budget-friendly but looks much more expensive than it is!
Flower Hair Clips
Keep your hair out of your face with these cute flower hair clips! If you’re an up do kind of gal, try placing these in your braids or buns as a fun accessory.
Sunscreen Lotion
Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial, so make sure to pack a high-SPF sunscreen. I love this one from Hawaiian Tropic, it feels so good on your skin and smells delicious!
Oversized Beach Towel
A big, cozy beach towel is perfect for lounging, drying off, and even making a makeshift pillow. This one is soft, absorbent, and big enough to stretch out on.
Straw Tote Bag
A spacious, sturdy beach bag is essential for carrying all your beach day goodies. This one is big and sturdy and is great for keeping things organized. I also love the hello beaches on it!
Cloud Sandals
If you’re in the market for a new pair of sandals, these ones are great for the beach! They’re so comfortable and supportive and are easy to clean.
Handheld Portable Fan
As a Florida girl, I always have a handheld fan in my beach bag to help me cool down on the coolest days. I’ve had this one for a few seasons now and love it!
Retro Aviator Sunglasses
Protect your eyes from the sun’s harsh rays while looking effortlessly cool. This pair of retro-inspired aviator sunglasses are very in right now and perfect for a day at the beach!
Crochet Cover Up Skirt
If you don’t want to wear a full dress cover up, this crochet cover up skirt is a great option! I love the crochet detailing and the tassel hem.
