Our Best Beach Tips


Our Best Beach Tips



   with beach days approaching quickly, we start stocking up on all things beach-y. some       tips are are self explanatory, and others are derived from our "I really wish I had-"             moments at the beach. what are your summer essentials? we'd love to hear them.


  • bring a change of clothes - I always like to bring a light, sleeved top and shorts
  • bring leave-in conditioner - salt water + wind. your hair will thank you.
  • bring baby powder - the sand is inescapable. after you're back at the car, sprinkle some baby powder on your feet/legs and the sticky sand wipes off.
  • bring WATER - lots of it. you dehydrate quickly between the sun and salt. I also like to fill a gallon jug with it to get sand off of me.
  • bring lotion - your skin gets dehydrated as well, you'll want it desperately 
  • bring a hair brush, hair ties, & bobby pins - hair never remains the same. we always try to make new braids to style.
  • bring fruit - it's much more refreshing than those potato chips
  • bring an extra/old towel - put it on the seats to prevent them getting very wet
  • be cautious about what you bring - if it's valuable, you may want to leave it home. I suggest bringing plastic bags to put your phone/camera in, as well.
  • only bring what you need - you don't want to carry 3x your weight (it's a longer, harder walk than you might think) all you really need to carry out is your towel, sunblock, snacks, and phone/camera.
  • don't forget sunglasses and/or a hat!
