A great day at the beach requires much prep, so here is the perfect guide to beach day essentials you need so you can safely brave the elements.

1. Portable Cooler Bag

Sustenance is the most essential thing you can have for your beach day. Running around, swimming and being under the sun for hours requires frequent nourishment and hydration so be sure to get a cooler to pack up food and drink.

Where to get:

2. SPF

When it comes to beach day essentials, having sunscreen is one of the most important things to bring. While the sun does provide us with Vitamin D, too much sun exposure can be detrimental in the long run. Excessive sun exposure can lead to loss of moisture in your skin and loss of essential oils. Regular bouts of sun exposure can also, of course, lead to skin cancer.

Where to get:

3. Portable Speakers

Have a full blow out beach day with some tunes. Bringing some portable waterproof Bluetooth speakers to liven up those that would rather laze around to get a tan, than run about and splash in the water. Portable speakers will ensure that everyone is feeling the excitement and truly makes a party on the beach come to life.

4. Portable Charger

While it would be nice if our smartphones were solar powered, sadly it seems we will have to wait a few years before those tech genii make it so for the masses. In the meantime, a portable charger is a must-have essential for a beach day. Since you will be busy snapping pics for the Gram, filling up your Snapchat story, and listening to the latest on Spotify, chances are your phone battery will not live long enough to see the end of the day, that is why a portable charger is imperative.

Where to get:

5. Float

Want to be rocked gently by the waves of the ocean then a floaty is essential for a beach day. Being out on the water and enjoying the gentle swaying by the water is a way to get out in the water without all the effort of swimming. We do not judge, beach days should be equal parts lively and equal parts relaxing.

Where to get:

While one should never opt out of applying SPF even if you are in the shade, having extra protection from the sun rays is helpful. Large brim hats or floppy hats are perfect to protect the delicate skin of your face from the sun, especially if you are prone to sunburns even with the application of SPF.

Triple up on the sun protection and bring along a sun tent. It takes both a beach umbrella and a beach blanket and combines it into a quick makeshift, outdoor fort. It is perfect for when you need a break from being out in the sun and when you need protection from a gust of wind and sand. It also offers a bit of privacy and makes you feel like you have your own beachside bungalow.
