Summer = beach vacations, Are you ready?

Updated June 2023

Summer is just around the corner and so many of you are booked and ready for sand, sun and fun! Everyone knows that a day at the beach, while relaxing, can also be a lot of work. From chairs, umbrellas, towels, toys and more it takes a lot to pull off the perfect day by the ocean! We’ve curated some of our personal favorite beach essentials to help make your next vacation the best one yet! With the magic of Amazon most items can be at your door in no time and we’ve included links to our favorites to make things even easier on you!

This is another super popular option for Beach Trips. The Navatiee Collapsible Folding Wagon/Cart with Heavy Duty Big Wheels is the perfect beach wagon at a great price. It even has side pockets, water bottle holders and brakes for added safety!

We can’t imagine going to the beach with out this anymore! The large wheels make it easy to pull through the sand. The small bag in the top is great for books, phones, towels and smaller more important items. And the large mesh basket is great for tents, umbrellas, chairs toys, beach bags and everything else!

Why we love this chair:
Reclining chair
Built in cup holder
Adjustable neck pillow
Storage pocket on back of chair
BACKPACK Straps for hands free carrying!

It’s also incredibly comfortable in our opinion and we have yet to find a better beach chair!

If you have been to the beach in the last 3 years chances are you’ve seen more than one Shibumi Shade and for good reason! It’s super light and so easy to set up. The best part is no more broken tents when the wind gets too strong! One Amazon review sums it up well: After struggling with umbrellas and tents for years this is a great item that functions well. Its super compact when you pack it up. Easy for one person to assemble in the wind.

No more sand stuck to your drink while at the beach! Just place the spike in the sand and you’re good to go! It even fits larger Yeti tumblers too!

Speaking of keeping the sand off of things, we love this small, foldable table to keep beside our beach chair. It’s perfect for books, bluetooth speakers or a place to set your phone down. The compact fold up style and carrying case make it easy to toss in the beach cart and you’re ready to go!

This is another great beach bag with lots of room! The best part about this option is the detachable cooler built right into the bottom. Perfect for lunch or some drinks at the beach!

We referenced these already but… you can’t go to the beach without an insulated tumbler! The ice will last for hours in these tumblers keeping your drink cold but not watered down for a day relaxing by the ocean waves!

Pockets, pockets, pockets! Lots of places for phones, books, towels and all the other essentials you need for a perfect day at the beach!

For those who prefer more of a lounger style option at the beach this is the perfect, lightweight option! They’re super easy to set up and enjoy a day at the beach!

New to the list this year is the Shibumi Shade MINI! It’s the perfect option for two and we couldn’t NOT add it to the list knowing how much everyone loves the original Shibumi Shade!

When we’re traveling, back packs are our go to purse of choice. We have both of these bags and use them whenever we travel and in everyday life. We love the durability the leather offers but they both come in a variety of other styles and colors. Both bags also have double zippers on the main compartment for easy access.
The khaki bag is an anti-theft backpack where the largest compartment is accessed by a zipper that is against your back. It also has two additional smaller compartments with zippers hidden along both sides of the pack.
The brown bag is another favorite and has multiple storage pockets and compartments as well. You really can’t go wrong with either choice and we love them both!

And last, we can’t think about the beach without thinking about all the fabulous beachwear! Here are some ideas for your next beach getaway:

We hope this helps ensure you have everything you need to have the perfect beach vacation!
