Now that we are smack dab in the middle of the summer season, I’m sure many of you have already planned or have been going on beach trips.
I mean, who doesn’t love a day at the beach in the summer? The sun is out, you get an opportunity to relax, and whenever you want, you can take a refreshing dip in the ocean.
As a girl who grew up only about an hour from the Jersey shore, I have been lucky enough to go to the beach many, many times.
While I never had a beach house, I have friends who do, so I’ve also tagged along on many weekend getaways dedicated to being on the beach.
Because of my experience, you can consider me a bit of a beach enthusiast, and I’ve learned a lot about the best things to take on the beach.
If you have a beach vacation coming up, are in need of a beach day, or are about to go for the first time in years, here are some of my beach bag essentials for taking on the beach.
A good-quality beach chair
While this may not be a “beach bag” item and may seem obvious to bring to the beach, I had to remind you to pack one. Having a nice beach chair that’s comfortable and fairly easy to get out of brings your beach day to the next level.
I always hate going to the beach with only a towel to sit on, as it often gets covered in sand and uncomfortable really fast.
