Essentials for the beach
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and it’s a beautiful day to pack your bags and head to the beach. Here are some suggestions on what to bring to make the most of your beach vacation.
Sunscreen cream
If you only wear one thing, this is it. Most of us don’t spend much time outside anymore. Did you know that you can start getting a sunburn in just 15 minutes? A good, waterproof sunscreen is essential. Make sure you wear at least SPF 30 for your face. If you want to try to get a little tan, you can use 15 on your body.
Beach chair
Whether it’s a folding chair, sling chair, or lounger, you’ll need a convenient place to park it. Inexpensive folding chairs can be purchased for under $10. Even a good recliner will rarely cost you more than $20.
Towel
Even if you’re not going in the water, you’ll want a good towel. The ocean breeze and the sand that comes with it, not to mention the heat, can make you feel less cool. A quick rinse is just the thing and you’ll need something to dry or cover the cat seat with.
water
If you’re going to be on the beach for more than an hour or so, you’ll need something to drink. Water or other unsweetened beverage is best. Sugary drinks or alcohol may taste good, but they aren’t as effective at hydrating your body.
A good book
It’s a personal preference, but the beach is the perfect reading room. You probably don’t want to bring war and peace, but a good thriller is just the thing.
Beach umbrella
The sun is fun, but too much is a bad thing. A nice beach umbrella will allow you to enjoy your mini vacation much longer without the risk of sunburn or dehydration.
Your own list of beach essentials might be longer, but whatever you take, don’t forget to have fun!
