9 Things Every Beach Bum Needs

Summer is coming but are you packed and prepared? When it comes to sun-fueled activities, nothing beats a beautiful day at the beach. So the next time you’re about to hit the sand,  we see no better excuse to shop for the things you’re going to need the most.

You’ll be all set to catch some rays once you stock up on these nine essentials we think everyone needs for the beach.

  1. Bag: By bag, we mean a large tote designated for days at the beach. The difference is in the style — we suggest finding one in a fun print or pop of color.
  2. Towel: Whether you’re going to the beach to surf, sit in the sand or get a much-needed tan, one thing’s for sure: You’ll need a cute towel.
  3. Bluetooth Speaker: Nothing’s worse than finally getting your day in the sun and forgetting the one thing needed to really make your trip a blast —summer tunes.
  4. Sunglasses: Equal parts fashion and function, sunglasses are ALWAYS necessary. Find a style that speaks to you. Our favorites this season? The cool cat-eye.
  5. Hat: We’ve already convinced you that bucket hats are back but beyond that, the beach is your oyster. Channel one of the Kardashians and opt for a baseball cap or cover-up in a floppy straw style.
  6. Anklet: The beach is the one place where you get to show off your body and your feet. The ankle bracelet is making a huge comeback and nothing will make you look more surf-ready.
  7. Sandals: Obvious of course, but let us be more specific. By sandals we mean beach sandals which may include any of the following: minimal slides, simple flip-flops or rubber gladiators.
  8. Clutch: For one, it’s good to have a special compartment in your bag for items you don’t want to get wet or sandy. It’s also perfect for grabbing and going to lunch when you don’t want to take all of your beach stuff with you.
  9. Flask: What’s fun in the sun without some fashionably hidden booze?
