After a lifetime of weekend trips to the beach and now living on an island full time, I feel as though I have cultivated the perfect beach bag roster. Not too much, but all of the essentials included. Many of these products have lasted me years of use and are still kicking!
- Bag: A canvas Aperol spritz themed tote bag which was a gift from a friend’s trip to Italy
- Decor: Various beach tags pinned on the straps of the bag from NJ beaches 🙂
- Small fanny pack pouch from Guatemala for holding money, phone, wallet, keys, etc.
- Towel: Funboy beach towel
- Sunscreen: Sun Bum SPF 30
- Scalp Sunscreen: Sun Bum Scalp & Hair Mist
- Face Sunscreen: Coola Classic Face Sunscreen
- Lip Balm: Hempz Sweet Pineapple & Honey Melon SPF 15 Lip Balm
- Beach Mist: The Lifestyle Co Beach Mist After Sun Spray
- Leave-In Conditioner: Trader Joe’s Leave-In Conditioner (perfect Ouai leave-in dupe!)
- Deodorant: Dove Dry Spray Mini
- Brush: Mini Conair Wet/Dry Detangling Brush
- Aloe: Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion (ok this actually stays in my fridge and not my beach bag, but it’s still an essential!)
- Cards: I keep a vintage drink recipe themed set of playing cards in my beach bag just in case the opportunity arises for a quick game
- Rotating: I will always be sure to throw my book and bikini of the day in with my bag before heading out the door 🙂 Don’t forget to leave room for snacks too! (preferably a bag of chips, Subway sandwich, and a spiked gatorade)
And that’s it! Let me know if I missed anything that you never hit the beach without 🙂
