For instance, a beach chair can be the key to comfort! It offers back support and helps keep your bum off the sand.
We’ve found many options too, like one with a built-in sun visor, and another that reclines for optimal lounging. For maximum comfort while catching some rays, an inflatable beach pillow (like the one we found below) can be a game-changer!
And while it might seem cumbersome to carry, a large beach umbrella or even a beach cabana can really make your whole outdoor game feel luxurious.
Not only can an umbrella or cabana provide sun protection (we recommend a few ultra stylish ones from Sunnylife), it can also help keep you cool. Plus, the bigger the better— a spacious beach cabana can help shade everyone at your future beach party!
Of course, you can’t go to the beach without SPF, because no one wants sunburn. La Roche-Posay and Goop both offer must-have sunscreens for your face. And don’t forget a spray sunscreen for the rest of your body. We’ve found options from Sun Bum and Coola that make reapplying a breeze.
Whether you prefer to lay out with a good book and a cooler full of snacks or just can’t wait to take a dip in ocean, you’ll need these beach essentials for a perfect day filled with sand, sun, and surf.
