With Summer coming up fast, I tend to start thinking about the beach! I love walking along the beach and playing in the waves! Everyone has different items that they keep in their beach bags. I’m sharing the essential items that are must haves in mine.
First, you need to find a bag that is big enough for your needs. I was using abag that I got as wedding party gifts. Over the years that had gotten too small for everything that I took to the beach. So I started using a cute Victoria Secret tote. It is the perfect size for everything I need to take on a beach trip!
The most important thing that I always have in my beach bag is sunscreen! Like the highest SPF you can get! I burn very easily and always end up looking like a lobster if I forget the sunscreen! Then I’m sore for the next few days and peeling for three weeks after! It is not pretty! So I don’t forget the sunscreen!
Mr. RCGG and I like to do the late afternoon to early evening beach trips. So we always have our bathing suits in the beach bag ready to go! This makes it easier to change back into our regular clothes before going home. We also don’t have to worry about having a to pack an extra pair of clothes.
You can’t go to the beach without your towel right? We have so many different beach towels. Most of them are mine but Mr. RCGG has a couple that aren’t pink! Haha! I also pack a cover up for the walk to the beach! I roll our towels, bathing suits, and my cover up and put them in the bottom of the bag. It gives more room in the bag for anything else we may need to take.
The next item that is essential in my beach bag is my camera. I used to take my little Nikon camera, but Mr. RCGG got me a “big girl” camera for Christmas and I have been learning how to use it this year! So that goes in my beach bag but it is not a permanent resident! Haha!
We also put in a few drinks and snacks. It is pretty hot in the south during the summer so we make sure to keep a few cold drinks on hand. We usually don’t keep them in the actual beach bag though. We use our thermal totes that I got from rewards from a 31 gifts party I hosted! =) I always have snacks in my purse. So having some in the beach bag makes sense right?
That’s my beach bag essentials. It may not seem like a lot but this is what keeps us beach ready all year long! What do you put in your beach bag? What are your beach essentials?
