More Essentials
Let’s be real… Your suitcase is going to need a bit more than just clothes! Here are some other must-haves on our summer beach vacation packing list:
Speaker: Play some tunes on the road, at the beach, or at your accomodation. And speaking of music, make sure to check out our special summer playlist. These songs are guaranteed to bring the sunshine, no matter where you’re headed!
Cooler: Keep your food and drink nice and chilly for long days in the heat. No long lunch breaks required! Pro tip - freeze waterbottles to save on cooler space and keep your beverages chilled.
Beach chair: Sit back, relax, and enjoy the coastal breeze. Pack up beach chairs for you and the whole family or call ahead and be sure your accommodation has some available to use.
Bikes: Check and see if your area is bike-friendly, and if so consider renting bikes. Biking is not only fun, but saves you the trouble of parking in a crowded destination.
Sun Hat: Don’t have one? Don’t sweat it! We have quite a few to choose from. Sun hats are a great way to protect your face and take your outfit to the next level. Our men’s & women’s sun hats protect you from the sun, and keep you looking stylish.
Sunglasses: Protect your eyes and look good doing it! Bring your favorite pair of sunnies. The sand is bright, so we recommend darker lenses for increased protection.
Lots of sunscreen: Say goodbye to burns and hello to all-day fun in the sun!
