Items You Need In Your Beach Bag (Top 3)

After spending a nice chunk of summer in Florida (amazing!), I feel like a trained beach pro. Whether you’re headed to Florida, another beach destination, or a backyard pool, scroll through below for the top 3 items you need in your beach bag. Let’s hop right in!

Beach bag item #1: A designated dry and sand-free pouch

Having an extra, large pouch for inside the beach bag was so unexpectedly helpful. Keeping our most important and delicate items like phones, keys, headphones, and sunglasses, in the pouch helped us maintain organization while also keeping items dry and sand-free.

Beach bag item #2: Sunscreen for face, body, and lips

Even if it’s cloudy, you 100% need sunscreen. Sometimes cloudy days are the days I get burnt the most (the clouds are a misleading facade to the power of the sun’s rays). My face is sensitive and acne-prone, so I prefer SPF separates for body, face, and lips. Some of my favorites are below:

Beach bag item #3: Beach towels

Take at least one towel to dry off and one to lay out in the sand if you’d like to lay out for a bit. I love my beautiful Peshtemal Pure Cotton Beach Towel from Ciao La Bella Vita! It comes in a gorgeous gift box, which makes it a great gift as well (any summer birthdays?). Sharing that favorite of mine along with a few other options below:
