The Summer is coming again! Beaches are at the top of almost everyone’s list when they think of most relaxing places to be. They’re beautiful and breezy, they offer many activities for young and old alike, and they are a great escape from the day-to-day.

There are some obvious items to pack for the beach, but we’ve come up with a list of must-have beach items that you may not have thought of. Below it, you’ll find recommendations for what NOT to bring along with what to wear, and even some FAQs.

Bask in the sun, splash around a bit, and enjoy your opportunity to soak in the beauty of the beach!
