Is it just us, or are you also excited for the summer? As you plan to head oceanside or lakeside to soak up the sunshine in the upcoming months, we've put together a quick list of beach must-haves you'll want to bring along!
1. Let's dive right in with a pretty towel or beach mat.
First things first. We mean, who wants things to get messy too soon, right? Find a comfy spot and spread out your mat. Whether you plan to practice some yoga, bask in the sun, or Netflix and chill, you got to have something ‘insta-worthy’ to lounge on.
2. What's a beach day without a little picnic?
Pack some freshly sliced fruits, crunchy veggies, your favorite dips, and desserts. Oh, and toss in a couple of croissants too. Don't forget something chilled to drink - a beer, wine, or bubbly perhaps?
3. Now, what's your vibe?
Listening to the waves while flipping through a good book, or grooving to your beach playlist, be sure to bring along a book or a Bluetooth speaker accordingly.
4. Swimsuits all the way!
Is there ever a perfect time to take a dip in the ocean or catch some waves? You never know when a simple volleyball game will turn into a full-on kayaking adventure. Always have your bathing suit handy, or better yet, wear one underneath, so you're ready to dive in at a moment's notice and dry off quickly afterward. Whether you prefer a breezy linen shirt or a flowing maxi dress over your one-piece, a printed sarong or shorts paired with your strapless two-piece, or maybe just a casual graphic T-shirt thrown over your high-waist bikini, be prepared for any beach vibe that calls your name.

5. Protection of all kinds.
Heading to the beach without sunscreen? Not on our watch! Make sure you're fully covered with sun protection for both your face and body. And don't forget to pack a bottle of refreshing aloe lotion to soothe and hydrate your skin after soaking up the sun.
6. The finishing touch.
Think big beach hats, chic oversized shades, and comfortable slippers to complete your look. And while you're at it, don't forget to take some cool snaps for the gram.
7. A gorgeous tote and a waterproof phone pouch!
Where else would you stash all your belongings? We don't know about you, but we aren't stepping foot outside without our trusty tote bags.
Once you've checked each of these off your list, you're good to hit the beach and have a blast. After all these months of snow and chilly air, you've totally earned it!
