Hey Lykkers! Are you dreaming of a beach getaway? We sure are! As we packed for our own beach trip, we realized just how important it is to be prepared for a day of sun, sand, and sea.
Let us share with you some tips on what to bring so you can make the most of your time by the ocean!
The first thing we made sure to pack was sunscreen. It's essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays while enjoying the beach. We always opt for a water-resistant formula with SPF 30 or higher to ensure we stay protected for hours. Another must-have item is a hat—not only does it keep the sun out of your eyes, but it also adds a stylish touch to your beach outfit. We also packed a beach towel and a swimsuit—because what's a beach trip without those? Don't forget a beach bag to carry all your essentials like snacks, drinks, and maybe a good book for a little relaxation by the shore.
During our beach trip, we made sure to stay hydrated—especially under the hot sun. We packed a few water bottles and some hydrating drinks like coconut water to keep our energy up. In addition to staying hydrated, we always bring along some healthy snacks to munch on throughout the day. Fresh fruit like watermelon or a mix of nuts keeps us refreshed and energized for more beach fun. It's important to keep your body nourished, so don't forget to pack some energy granola as well!

We love making sure we're comfortable while lounging on the sand. A beach chair or beach mat is perfect for relaxing without getting too sandy. We also make sure to pack sunglasses to protect our eyes from the bright sun, and a light sweater or jacket for when the evening breeze starts to cool things down. If you're planning to take a dip in the ocean, it's always a good idea to bring along a waterproof bag to keep your phone and valuables safe from the sand and sea.
For some extra fun, we also pack a beach ball or a frisbee—they're great for playing games with friends or family. If you enjoy music, don't forget a portable speaker to set the mood for a relaxing beach day. Snorkeling gear is also a great idea if you're visiting a beach with clear waters and marine life to explore. These little extras can make your beach day even more enjoyable!
By the time we finished packing, we were ready for a fantastic beach trip! Whether you're planning to relax and sunbathe or have fun with water sports, the right preparation can make all the difference. Remember to pack sunscreen, stay hydrated, and don't forget the snacks and entertainment! We hope you enjoy your next beach adventure, Lykkers!
