Happy Summer! The sunny season is officially here and there’s no better way to spend it than soaking up the sun’s rays on a beautiful beach somewhere. So, make sure to prep for that much needed vacation by gathering all of the beach must-haves.

I love having so many options when shopping for the perfect folding beach chair. One of my favorites is this cabana chair bundle. Not only does it come with its own pillow, but you can choose from over 100 different patterned fabrics when designing your chair and pillow pair. Or you can grab this teak beach chair in a classic white or pretty gingham coastal blue. I also love this stylish rattan look-alike that would be perfect for the beach or for using at any outdoor event.

Don’t forget to grab an umbrella for those moments when you need a break from the sun! You can pair this gingham coastal blue umbrella or this white umbrella with their matching teak beach chairs. 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. They’re a great buy and they come in a two-pack. These fringed cotton beach towels are another good option because they’re super soft and you can choose from navy, pink, and green, or pick one of these turkish beach towels from a variety of different colors.

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 cool gingham cooler to keep your drinks cold and a reusable snack bag to store your smaller food items.

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!
