Summer is quickly approaching which means it’s about time to grab your bathing suits and head to the nearest body of water! One of my favorite things to do during the summertime is to hang out at the lake or go to a local beach. I’ve always felt lucky to live in Washington state because there are so many lakes and beautiful beaches to visit. 

Whether you’re going to your local pool, a lake, or the seaside, I’m here to give you a list of some essential things to take with you in your beach bag this summer. These essential items are guaranteed to make your beach trip more carefree and enjoyable. After all, nothing ruins a beach day like forgetting to pack your sunscreen!

 

7 Must Have Beach Essentials

1. SPF - Like I said before, forgetting to pack sunscreen is just a recipe for disaster. One of the first things you should pack in your bag is a bottle of SPF! In my opinion, the higher the level, the better (see ya later premature aging!). 
2. Microfiber Beach Towel - Nobody likes a wet, sandy beach towel which is why I love microfiber ones. They’re easy to carry, super absorbent, durable, and best of all, they dry super quickly. I've seen so many cute ones online!
3. Insulated Water Bottle - Staying hydrated, especially during the hot summer months is SO important! My life changed for the better when I got my Hydro Flask. I take it with me almost everywhere I go and I love it because my water stays cold for hours. 
4. Lip Balm with SPF - Ever got sunburnt on your lips? It’s not fun. I make sure to carry a lip balm with SPF in it when I know I’ll be spending time out in the sun.
5. Sunglasses - Not only do they protect our eyes from the sun, but I love sunglasses because there are so many fun styles to choose from nowadays! Protective AND stylish? Yes please! 
6. Bluetooth Speaker - Turn on your favorite beach playlist and relax with some tunes. My bluetooth speaker is something I always throw in my bag before heading to the beach. Music + the beach calls for the perfect summer day.
7. Snacks - You can’t go to the beach and not bring snacks! Cmon, this should be a no brainer. Bring some fresh fruit or your favorite salty snack, we ain’t judging!

Hopefully you now feel prepared after taking a look at this handy list. Take some time this summer to relax and have fun. Round up your girlfriends, hop in the car, and enjoy a fun-filled beach day together!
