Beach day is a fun day in the Sun. It is all about soaking up the Sun while you play in the water, sand, or enjoy activities on the boardwalk. To prepare myself for hours in the heat, I pack all the items below into my beach bag. These items keep me cool, calm, and collected while outside during the summer.

  1. Sun Protection x3: Sunscreen, sun hat, and sunglasses are a must to protect yourself from the Sun.
  2. Sun Day Fun Day Activities: I always keep a beach ball and frisbee on hand for a spontaneous activity out in the Sun. 
  3. I’ll Rather Be Dry: A beach towel is versatile on beach days you can either use it as a chair, towel, or cape to play and run in the Sun. I personally enjoy using the beach towel as a chair to relax on when I am outside.
  4. Cover Me Up: I always pack a cover up as an extra layer of clothing to lounge around the beach in or to walk the boardwalk in.
  5. Run Into The Sea: I can easily run into the ocean when I have water shoes on because I don’t have to worry about anything cutting the bottom of my feet.
  6. Hydrated Girl Summer: I keep water bottles with me all the time and a beach day is no different.
  7. Spritz Me Up: When my skin is feeling dry from the Sun, I like to spritz my face with facial spray for instant dewy, moisturized skin.
  8. Cool Down: I have written about the importance of having a fan on here before. A fan is perfect for those instances when I want to soak up the Sun and be cool at the same time.
  9. Germs Free Girly: Hand sanitizer is my first step to getting rid of germs when I am outside.
  10. Indulge In Your Favorite Bites:  When the Sun is blazing down on me, I know that I can rely on snacks to strengthen me, so I don’t feel weak.
  11. Stay Plugged In: A portable charger allows me to stay connected, even when I am outside. 
  12. Feel The Sand Between Your Toes: I always wear flip flops in the sand because I do not want sand to get inside my shoes.
