Don’t forget to grab an umbrella for those moments when you need a break from the sun! This is definitely a beach must-have. You can pair this tide stripe umbrella or this white umbrella with their matching teak beach chairs. I also love this scalloped umbrella with contrasting piping. Or a striped navy blue or a bold navy blue umbrella would be a good addition to your beach trip.
And you will definitely need a really good beach towel. Pack these blue cabana striped beach towels in your beach bag. These Turkish beach towels come in a variety of different colors and are quick-drying. Last year I used these monogramed Turkish towels on my girls trip to Palm Beach. I’m also partial to this vintage stripe towel and this Riveria scalloped towel.
Bring a quilted beach house blanket along so you have a place to comfortably relax on the sand. And for those moments when you need a refreshment or two, use this pinstripe cooler or this insulated wine tote to keep your drinks cold and a reusable snack bag to store your smaller food items.
A good beach bag can make or break a successful beach day and is always top of my list of things to pack for my beach must-haves. I love this waterproof tote for its size and how easy it is to wipe clean. This straw tote with striped handles is so cute and I love the colors of this oversized tote. Then I use these clear travel pouches to keep my smaller items all corraled together. They can easily go from your purse to your beach bag. To protect my skin, I use Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen and a face covering like this sunhat. Weezie just debuted their tote that perfectly fits their straw hat and I’m excited to test it out this year.
I’ve received a few new swimwear items to try out this summer. There’s this adorable two-piece skirt swim set and this classic wrap one-piece that I plan on pairing with this beautiful beach sarong. You can find more of my vacation picks over on my Shop page.
I’m so happy it’s finally summer and I can’t wait to enjoy some of my own summer days relaxing on the beach with my family. The last beach must-have I’ll be making sure to bring with me is a good book to enjoy, so don’t forget yours!
