shopping list for beach vacation

Last week, I was on a beach vacation with my family. It was so much fun! My kids loved swimming in the ocean and collecting seashells. We had a blast eating at all the local restaurants and exploring the shops in town. But one thing that always stresses me out is packing for a trip like this: what do I need to bring? What should I leave behind? Luckily for you, I went ahead and made myself a shopping list (and learned from my past mistakes). Here are some items that will make your next trip easier:

sunscreen

Sunscreen: We all know that the sun can cause damage to our skin. This is a fact, but what most people don’t realize is how important sunscreen is in protecting themselves from this damage. Whether you are at home or on vacation, it’s important to wear sunscreen every day if you plan on being outside. When choosing a sunscreen, you should make sure that it has an SPF 30 or higher because anything less will not provide enough protection against the sun’s rays. In addition, look for one that says “water resistant” so if your activities get too intense your skin won’t be exposed while swimming! Also make sure that whatever brand you choose includes avobenzone (my favorite), titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as active ingredients – these three ingredients have been shown to reduce both UVA and UVB radiation by 80% with just one application of product applied evenly across your body surface area (about two tablespoons). Finally remember: no matter where we go or what type of weather conditions arise during our vacation we must make sure there’s always enough sunscreen available so everyone can protect themselves from harmful effects caused by excessive exposure!

sunglasses

Sunglasses can be an essential part of your beach vacation. The sun is the strongest at midday, so you’ll want to wear sunglasses to protect yourself from UV rays. Make sure that you don’t wear them at night or in the car, since they’re designed for daylight conditions and may not provide adequate protection in these situations.

You can also use sunglasses as a fashion accessory! If you have a more casual outfit, stick with black or brown frames; for more formal occasions, try tortoiseshell-style glasses that match your hat or scarf.

beach towel

• Make sure the beach towel is large enough to cover you up. A beach towel that’s too small will leave you exposed and uncomfortable.
• Look for a lightweight and soft beach towel that’s easy to carry and pack.
• The best beach towels are easy to clean and dry quickly, so they can be used over and over again with minimal fuss.

bathing suits

• Make sure it’s comfortable. No one wants to be uncomfortable when they’re relaxing on a beach vacation.
• Make sure it’s flattering. You want bathing suits that make you look good and feel confident, not bathing suits that make you feel self-conscious or embarrassed while wearing them (and especially not while taking them off).
• Make sure it’s not too revealing. While some people enjoy showing off as much skin as possible on their beach vacations, many don’t—and if you don’t want to show off any skin at all, then get yourself a full-body one piece or tankini instead of something with short shorts or high cut legs.
• Make sure it’s not too conservative. If your idea of “fun in the sun” involves lots of time reading books by the pool rather than hours spent laying out in direct sunlight on towels and lounges because the heat is just too intense for your pale skin tone—or even if someone else isn’t quite into getting an actual tan but still wants an option for playing volleyball outside in the sand during lunch breaks from work each day—then go for one of those cute flowy tops/tunics instead! They’ve got plenty of choices available nowadays that will keep everyone happy regardless which camp they fall into: whether they love being out under direct sunlight all day long without any protection whatsoever; prefer simply having something lightweight covering up their torso area without actually blocking out UV rays completely; or somewhere between these two extremes where there might be enough shade around so as long as their face remains exposed so they don’t burn themselves badly before heading back inside after lunchtime

cover-up dress

Cover-up dresses are pieces that you can wear over a swimsuit, or just as a casual summer dress.

You can wear them to the beach and pool, but they also look great when paired with jeans or shorts for a day out.

They’re easy to style in different ways and make good travel outfits since they don’t wrinkle easily or take up much space in your suitcase.

They come in an array of colors and styles, from plain tank dresses to lacy kimonos and floral sundresses. The fabric choices range from cotton jersey to silk chiffon to linen blends so there’s something for everyone!

There are some great brands out there such as Anthropologie (which has tons of fun prints), Target has some cute options too if you’re looking for something inexpensive—just remember not all covers will last through multiple washes so try not wash yours too often if possible!

hat

Not wearing a hat on a beach vacation is like not wearing clothes in public. It’s necessary, but it can be uncomfortable and awkward.

There are plenty of reasons to wear a hat on the beach, but the most important one is to protect yourself from the sun—especially if you’re fair-skinned or have sensitive skin. The sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your skin when they’re absorbed into your body through your scalp, which isn’t protected by the top layer of skin usually found elsewhere on our bodies (the epidermis). The damage caused by ultraviolet rays can result in wrinkles and age spots later in life, so it’s important to protect yourself as much as possible while out in the sun!

That said, sunscreen alone isn’t enough; even SPF 50 doesn’t always shield us from harmful rays coming down from space; that’s why many people choose to wear hats with brims or large hoods when spending time outdoors during daylight hours because these types of headgear provide more coverage than just sunscreen alone would do for most individuals’ faces alone (not everyone has arms like Pamela Anderson after all).

flip flops

On the list of things you need for your beach vacation, flip flops are probably at the top. They’re a must-have for the beach, as well as a great way to add some style to your beach outfits. Plus, they’re also a great way to protect your feet from hot sand and rocks!

Now that we’ve discussed why you need flip flops on your trip, let’s talk about what kind of flip flops you should get.

It’s summer time and time to go on a beach vacation!

Summer is a great time to go on vacation. It’s the perfect excuse to get away from work and enjoy the sunshine, sand and surf. Beach vacations are also a great way for families and couples to bond with each other while still getting enough time alone. Vacations can be tough on our wallets though, so we’ve put together some planning tips that will help you save money before heading out on your trip!

• Make sure you bring all of your documents in case anything happens at security like forgot ID or passport!
• Always pack light! Your suitcase should never weigh more than 10 pounds unless it has wheels & handles (you need those).
