What to bring to the beach?
1. Sunscreen
Bring some sunscreen so your skin doesn’t turn lobster red under the rays. We all want that golden tan to flaunt in front of our friends and family, but tanning oil can be too powerful turning you from golden brown to bright red. You know the moment when your skin seems tan, but you hop in the shower and all the red patches appear? Now, sunscreen can be hard to rub in, and may sometimes feel sticky, but bring some to protect your skin from a lobster summer.
2. Bathing Suit
No beach experience is complete without your favorite bathing suit. From a one-piece to bikinis, complete your summer wardrobe with the best bathing suit print. Just make sure to tie it tight for those large ocean waves! Strut on the sand this summer by printing your own bathing suit online with photos and text.
3. Flip Flops
Flips flops are essential when deciding what to bring to the beach. Everyone hates the feeling of sand in their tennis shoes. Besides, you need to show off that new pedicure! They’re also easy to slip on and off for the kids who love to go barefoot. Don’t flip out over shoes to wear with your bathing suit, print your own pair online with photos and text.
4. Towel
Bring a towel to lay on and soak up the sun. No need to lug around the bulky beach chairs, bring the towels in a bag for minimal packing. Make sure you place your towels in a personalized beach bag so there is no mix-up of beach essentials. Be careful when picking up the towel – with a little wind, you might cause your own sandstorm! Own the beach this summer with your own printed towel personalized with photos and text.
5. Sunglasses
Chill at the beach this summer with a pair of sunglasses to provide shade from sunny skies above the waves. Whether napping or secretly admiring a cutie from a distance, beat the heat in style. With your cool look, cameras will be flashing all around you. Oh wait, that’s just Aunt Sarah attempting to take a selfie.

You could even keep your sunglasses scratch-free with a glasses case personalized with your favorite summer memories. The perfect addition to your beach guide!
6. Drinks
Clink to drinks on the beach with your favorite cocktails and summer beverages. Stock up the cooler for that 5 o’clock hour, or you know for whenever that family next to you starts a dance party. Make sure to pack some water along with your other beverages, for roasting in the sun will have you feeling a little dehydrated. Cool off with your favorite summer beverages and the perfect beach view.
7. Water bottle
Soak up the sun while hydrating your body with a water bottle. Easy to pack while keeping the water cold, this item is an essential for all beachgoers. It even protects your drink from the little grains of sand because when did drinks become crunchy.

9. Food
Make sure you have food to munch on for lunch. Pack your favorite snacks and sandwiches to savor your beach day. Be prepared for the kids constant “I’m hungry” what feels like every 5 seconds with their favorite handheld snacks, maybe even pack a little more than usual for the unexpected visitors also known as birds. Munch in the sun for some added summer fun.
10. Sand Toys
Become king or queen of the castle, the sandcastle that is. Pack buckets and shovels as the last item on your what to bring to the beach list. Make your own sand furniture or sandcastle kingdom.
