Sundowners, coolers, chillers, beaches and more, are words which remind you of summer. Summer is the month where you plan all you vacations and get out of the city and hit the beach. And why not, summers are enjoyed best on the beach. So, get ready and start packing for the beach trip.

Here are seven items you must have in your beach bag essential list.

  1. Tote bag

Tote

First things first. You need a big beach tote bag, which fits in everything you need to carry along.  The tote bag is your statement accessory and you need to pick the best ones.  There are a variety of tote bags available in the market, canvas, straw to jute and knit totes.

 

  1. Flip-flops

Flip-Flop

A day on the beach without flip-flops is like eating a pizza without toppings.  Sand is not very friendly we all know that they stick to your skin forever. You don’t want to ruin you pretty shoes on the beach with water and sand. That’s why flip-flops. No maintenance required and they’re water friendly. Plus, they are available in so many colors.

 

  1. Beach towel

Beach Towel

You need this for obvious reasons. Grab a big beach towel, which will fit you and your friend on it. I say massive because you can wrap yourself in it once you are done dipping in the water.

 

  1. Sunscreen
Sun Protection

Sun Protection

An essential item in your beach bag. You don’t want to end up roasted on the beach. The bright sun will not only give you a tan but also damage your skin. Reapply every time you come out of the water.

 

  1. Sunnies

Sunnies

Sunnies are my favourite part of the beach bag essentials. As much as the sun damages your skin, it also damages your eyes. Make sure you pick up sunnies with UV protection.  The market is full of chic and hot sunglasses. Choose your favourite glasses and flaunt it.

 

  1. Lip balm

Lip Balm

You don’t want your lips with blisters and chapped lips. Pick a tinted moisturising lip balm with SPF, to protect your lips.

 

  1. The big hat

Straw Hat

Oh, yes! How can you miss out on a hat – a straw hat. No matter how much sunscreen you apply, your face will need extra protection. The skin on your face is sensitive and can easily get sunburned. A floppy hat is a cute way to avoid a red nose.
