Beach Vacation Essentials

Whether you’re jetting off to the French Riviera or the California Coast this summer, we’ve rounded up a few of our must-pack items for a beach vacation:

  • STRIPED SWIMSUIT - The sea and strips go together like rosé and brie. We love a striped bathing suit for summer, whether bold and colorful or classic and neutral.

  • WOVEN BAG - Tote your sunscreen, book, and water (or wine—we won’t judge) in a chic summer carryall. A woven bag is perfect for the beach because you don’t have to worry about sand getting trapped inside, and it can double as a tote for shopping or a casual purse for al fresco dinners by the shore.

  • STYLISH SANDALS - Wrap your feet in stylish but comfy sandals that can take you from the beach to dinner to sunset seaside strolls. We love a strappy leather sandal in black or tan, which you can pair with denim shorts or a sundress.

  • CLEAN SUNSCREEN - We love the complete line of clean sunscreen products by Supergoop! The Body Oil with SPF 50 is ultra moisturizing and gives skin a nice glow. The Glow Stick is easy to apply and great for travel. The Unseen Sunscreen and Glow Screen leave your skin feeling smooth and work great under makeup. And we love the lip gloss and hand cream with SPF too!

  • STRAW HAT - We love a wide-brim straw hat for a beach vacation because you can use it to shield your face from the sun and hide your tresses on bad hair days (humidity, anyone?). Save yourself the time and hassle of styling your locks everyday of vacay with a cute sun hat.

  • A GOOD BOOK - Last but not least, you can’t spend hours soaking up the sun or perched under the shade of an umbrella without a good beach read to keep you company. Take a peek at what we’re currently reading.
