Pack your beach bag this summer with ALL the essentials! Whether you are at your apartment pool or driving to the beach for the day, you want to pack all the essentials. The worst is getting to your chair or all the way to the beach and forgetting something.

This beach bag is great because it is lightweight, large to fit everything, and does not ruin if getting wet. You may want the hat because you forgot to reapply your sunscreen or you may want the Airpods because you finished your book. 

14 Items that MUST be in your beach bag this summer!

2 Towels in your beach bag, the second towel can be used as a pillow or as a drying towel.

Stainless Steel Water Bottle. I do not leave the house without my Stanley Cup, this thing carries 40 ounces so I guaranteed to stay hydrated.

Sunscreen…..duh, skin cancer is no joke! Bring face sunscreen and body. These never come out of my beach bag, this is the best if you want a tan but have sensitive skin.

Cover Up for over your bathing suit. Dresses, button ups, or throw ons are my favorite. This one is oversized so it has been great to have!

Slip on Sandals are needed for the beach. These Reefs lasted me all summer for walking, the sand, and can get wet so never had any problems or blisters.

Sunglasses – I do not go anywhere without my Ray Bans, ESPECIALLY during summer time.

Hat – Having sensitive skin (aka acne, currently my skin is very sensitive) required extra sun blocking. Fadora hats are so cute and cover all around your face and neck when the UV is extra intense.

Claw Clip – These have been so great to pack in my bag for when I go into the water or need my hair off my back to not sweat.

Book. This is the book that got me back into reading, now I never go without a book to read by the pool or on the beach.

Airpods – These go from bag to bag because I do not leave the house without them. When I am not reading, I will listen to a podcast or music.

Speaker – This is great when going with friends or other people. I have owned a lot of different speakers and the JBL has been the best. We love this speaker because of the quality and it is waterproof (just in case).

Cooler or Lunch Box – This may not fit in the bag but you can also do a small lunch box if it is just you. This is for sure worth bringing if it is an all day trip or multiple people are going. Fill this bad boy up with drinks and sandwiches and I PROMISE, your stuff will be cold all day!

Portable Phone Charger. We got this as a Christmas gift and it has been awesome for traveling so it is a MUST for beach days.

BruMate – First off, I need this pink color! Second, these are amazing for keeping your beverage cold. It can also easily distinguish which drink is yours.

Now you and your beach bag are ready to hit the beach or pool this summer…..with sunscreen!

Enjoy the summer girlies!
