When families and friends gather for BBQ\u2019s and bonfires with day trips to the beach. Soaking up rays of sunshine, so everyone can get the perfect Jersey Shore tan. Your dad naps on the beach, while mom reads and sips her second cocktail, while the kids push each other under the ocean waves. And even better, you&#8217;re surrounded by your unique, personalized beach essentials!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandcastles line the ocean in all sizes, from your simple bucket-shaped castle to the overachiever sandcastle mansion. Your day is filled with the sounds of lifeguard whistles, waves crashing, and seagulls cawing. Whether you&#8217;re ready to join Baywatch, or can\u2019t swim without your floaty, you are sure to enjoy your day at the beach. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the summertime memories that you will keep forever. To help you hit the beach like a pro, here are all your beach essentials for the ultimate summer experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/2wV2Jm0Wfl2zHFR5Bw\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"what to bring to the beach\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>What to bring to the beach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Sunscreen <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring some sunscreen so your skin doesn&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/SHPzIKk5ii08w\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"beach essentials \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Bathing Suit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/VFpM53MopG58Y\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"personalized beach gear\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Flip Flops <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019re also easy to slip on and off for the kids who love to go barefoot. Don\u2019t flip out over shoes to wear with your bathing suit, print your own pair online with photos and text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/26BREJOhqNEhmNDxK\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"beach essentials\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Towel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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 &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/hR15MJoDCwiODNXU1z\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"what to bring to the beach\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>5. Sunglasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s just Aunt Sarah attempting to take a selfie. Make the beach your runway this summer online with printed sunglasses personalized with your favorite photos and text. 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! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3ohzdVD1sEBGECNaZW\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"personalized beach accessories\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>6. Drinks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clink to drinks on the beach with your favorite cocktails and summer beverages. Stock up the cooler for that 5 o\u2019clock 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/XoyRvOOBXOxFeq9twJ\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"beach essentials\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>7. Water bottle <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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. Water you waiting for, print your own water bottle online with tropical photos for the ultimate summer experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/jrtghqH5nytBPERFrn\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"water bottle \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>8. Beach Bag <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Handle your day on the beach with a beach bag. Nothing like lugging around books, toys, snacks, and more beach essentials to make your beach bag feel like a Mary Poppins creation. Find a waterproof beach bag to avoid all water and sand disasters. Bag your summer beach experience in a printed beach bag with your favorite summer photos and text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/SeTPXfY3RFPkQ\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"beach bag\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>9. Food <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u201cI\u2019m hungry\u201d 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/8iPc2Nd9XG5kk\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"beach food\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>10. Sand Toys <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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. Snap photos of your masterpiece before a curious child comes over later to knock it down. Seas the day with your sand toys for the ultimate summer activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/dRBBSdnCW4Bqw\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"beach sand toys\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Beach Essentials <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether sunbathing on the beach or jumping the waves, we hope this list of beach essentials prepares you for the ultimate beach experience to catch some sunshine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/beach-accessories\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bol-banner-beach-essential.jpg\" alt=\"beach essentials \" class=\"wp-image-224\" width=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bol-banner-beach-essential.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bol-banner-beach-essential-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bol-banner-beach-essential-768x279.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/discounts#studentdiscount\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/discount-banner-blog-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176\" width=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/discount-banner-blog-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/discount-banner-blog-4-300x15.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/discount-banner-blog-4-768x38.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to Hit the Beach Sweet summertime!
