PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN
It's obvious to have fun in the sun on your beach vacation but also important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. That's why packing the right sun protection gear is a must. From sunscreen to hats and cover-ups, there are several ways to shield yourself from the sun while still enjoying all the beach has to offer!
Sun Bum Lip Balm SPF 30 is a fantastic product to have on hand for any beach vacation. This is especially important since your lips are often one of the most sensitive areas on your body. Plus, with its delicious flavors like coconut and watermelon, it adds a fun and tropical touch to your beach vacation essentials!
A beach vacation calls for extra sun protection. UPF 50+ rash guard shirts by Coolibar offer full body coverage without compromising style. They are lightweight and quick-drying, plus they come in a variety of colors and prints.
WATER SHOES AND SANDALS
Don't go unprepared without a comfortable sandal or water shoe! When you find yourself hiking to get to a remote beach or the shore happens to be rocky you'll be thankful you brought them.
Keens Sandals are a must have for any outdoor enthusiast. Made with a lightweight rubber sole, these sandals are perfect for any terrain and provide superior cushioning for all-day comfort. The toe guard helps protect your feet from hazards like rocks and twigs, while the adjustable hook and loop strap makes it easy to get a secure fit. Plus, the unique tread pattern gives you superior traction on wet surfaces. With an antimicrobial treated footbed to help keep your feet odor-free, Keens Sandals are perfect for hikers, campers, fisherman, or anyone who loves being outdoors.
Water shoes are essential for any outdoor activity near water, whether it be boating, fishing, swimming, or just exploring the shore. With their versatile design and protective features, water shoes are a must have for a beach vacation.
Birkenstock Sandals have been a staple in my closet for years! I love them because they have more arch support then flip flips. Birks are a great quality sandal and can last multiple seasons handling a lot of wear and tear! They're also super cute and can be styled with almost any beach outfit.
PORTABLE CHARGERS AND SPEAKERS
Don’t let your gadgets run out of batteries when you’re out enjoying the waves! Keep your devices powered up and keep the tunes playing on the beach with some of these amazing products.

UNDERWATER CAMERA AND HOUSING
When it comes to planning your beach vacation, packing the right gear is key. Whether you're lounging on the sand or hitting the waves, having an action camera can help capture those unforgettable moments!
An essential item for any beach trip is a Go Pro Hero 10! It's an excellent choice for any photography enthusiast, boasting impressive specs and advanced features. It's perfect for beginners as the GoPro is extremely user friendly! It's great for underwater video/photography up to 33 feet, but I'd suggest getting the protective case if you plan to go deeper.
