Going to the beach may have been canceled last year, but this year, with lockdown restrictions being relaxed and vaccinations underway, you can finally go out and enjoy your day by the shore, soaking up some vitamin D and sipping on chilled drinks with your friends. And if you have a beach day marked on your calendar, it is time you thought about the essentials that you need to carry. Sure, you may have your bathing suit or swim trunks figured out, but what about the rest of your beach must-haves? Here is a list of a few things you will need for a guaranteed fun and memorable day in the sand, from sunscreen to dry bags and everything in between:

1. Sunscreen

When heading to the beach, you should always carry (and use) sunscreen. Period. Unless you want to come back with a painful sunburn, apply a sunscreen with SPF 50 all over your exposed areas before you step out, and reapply after every two or three hours. This will protect your skin against the harmful effects of the UVA and UVB rays.

2. Beach towel

The first thing that you need to know is that your bath towel is not meant to be your beach towel. For the beach, you should carry a lightweight towel, preferably one that easily fits into your beach bag. At Lightload Towels, we offer extra-large beach towels for swimming that are compressed towels designed to be super absorbent, quick dry and hygienic.

3. Reusable water bottle

Dehydration is not a good look on anyone, which is why you should always carry a water bottle to keep your throat from getting parched in the heat. A reusable bottle saves you money that you would otherwise spend on buying bottled water, keeps you hydrated and most importantly, it is highly sustainable – win, win, win.

4. Dry bag

When you decide to take a dip in the water, the last thing you would want to do is leave your phone or other belongings strewn about on your towel. The solution? Carry a dry bag, and use it to store your phone, jewelry and other valuables that you cannot carry with yourself out in to the water.
