Planning a day out at the beach? Whether you’re soaking up the sun, swimming in the surf, or just enjoying the seaside, packing the right essentials can make or break your beach experience. From protection against the sun’s rays to ensuring comfort on the sand, here are the top five must-haves for your next beach adventure.
1. Sun Protective Hat
A day under the glaring sun requires reliable protection for your face, ears, and neck. Sun protective hats are crucial for safeguarding against harmful UV rays that can lead to sunburn and long-term skin damage. For women, men, and children, choosing a hat with a wide brim is ideal. Browse our variety of adult sun protective hats for women and men, as well as our selection of children’s sun protective hats, to find the perfect style that combines functionality with fashion.
2. Rashie
Rash guards, or 'rashies', are another essential item for any beachgoer. Designed to protect against sunburn, rashies also prevent irritation from rough sand and saltwater. They are crafted from materials that offer UPF protection, making them an excellent choice for everyone in the family. Rashies are available in various styles for all ages and sizes. Check out our children’s rashies, and adult versions for men and women, each providing comfort without compromising on sun safety.
3. High SPF Sunscreen
While hats and rashies provide substantial protection, applying a high SPF sunscreen is essential to cover the exposed areas of your skin. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating to maintain effective protection throughout your beach day.
4. Water and Snacks
Staying hydrated is key when spending time in the sun. Pack plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Additionally, bring along some snacks that are easy to eat and non-perishable, such as fruits, nuts, or granola bars, to keep your energy up without having to leave your beach spot for food.
5. Comfortable Beach Gear
Lastly, ensure your comfort with the right beach gear. A sturdy, comfortable beach chair or a durable towel is perfect for lounging by the sea. Consider a beach umbrella for extra shade, which can be especially useful for prolonged beach stays or to protect young children or pets from direct sunlight.
Packing for the beach means preparing to enjoy the sand and sea safely and comfortably. With a sun protective hat, a well-fitted rashie, plenty of sunscreen, adequate hydration, and comfortable beach gear, you’re all set for a fantastic beach day.
