Are you ready to hit the beach but don’t know what to pack? The weather lady on TV says the waves are going to be killer the rest of the weekend. The perfect temperature will definitely make the sand feel nice and warm for your toes. You can smell the fresh, salty air already.
A beach day is always perfect for any occasion, but it can be a total bummer and complete hassle if you forget a few essentials. Nearby stands or stores on the boardwalk may have what you need, but let’s face it – the items are so overpriced. Your day can instantly turn from woo to boo if you’re prepared for some fun in the sun.
ENTITY has you covered. Here’s a checklist on what to pack for a beach trip!
1 Sunscreen
Don’t get sunburned.
2 Beach towel
Pack a few! One to lie down on and another to use to dry off.
3 Sunglasses
Protect your eyes!
4 Glasses or extra pair of contacts
It sucks losing a contact in the water, but it’ll suck more if you can’t see for the rest of the day.
5 Goggles
Don’t want your eyes to sting in the water!
6 Chap stick with SPF
Do you want dry lips?
7 Hat
Protect your hair, eyes and the rest of your face.
8 Beach umbrella
You want some fun in the sun, not to burn in it.
9 Bug spray
Don’t let the critters bite you!
10 Spray for hair
A heat protectant spray and another to detangle.

Staying in a wet bikini or trunks is uncomfortable.
12 Sweatshirt/sweat pants
It can get cold at night or when the breeze hits.

You don’t want sand all up in your shoes.

Stay hydrated.

Snacks on snacks on snacks!
16 First aid kid
Boo boos happen.

Make a call in case of emergency.

You don’t want to strain your back from all that heavy relaxation.

For the kids and everyone to enjoy!

Don’t let your drinks get warm.
