My Beach Essentials
Living on an island, going to the beach in your spare
time is kind of a no brainier. So whether you live near a beach
or going on vacation, here are my top five beach essentials!
1. Your Survival Kit
I will be quick with this one, and say to not forget the general things you need at the beach. This consist of a towel, sunscreen, sunnies, snacks, and something to keep you hydrated. There have been a number of times that I have forgotten my sunglasses, or sunscreen and it just did not end well. So be prepared and pack these general essentials before you head out the door.
2. Tunes
I love having music play in the background whenever I am doing anything. So whether I am riding it solo, I've got my headphones, or if I'm with a group I've got my speakers. Depending on the people I'm with I could be chillin' to some local music, or having a karaoke session with Disney music. All in all, music is the life of the party!
3. A Spare Towel
Okay, I know I already mentioned a towel in the first point, but hear me out. I personally like to bring two towels. I have only recently started to like basking in the sun, before I was a water baby all the way until I was a prune. So when I come out of the water to lay out, the breeze makes it a bit cold. So I'll dry off with one towel, and use the other to lay out on. Question of the day! Are you a beach chair or lay out on a towel kind of person?
4. External Battery
Did you really go to the beach if you didn't take pictures or post on social media? Whether you are uploading to Snapchat or taking on the role of DJ, your devices can lose juice really quickly!So don't forget to charge up your device and bring along an external battery to ensure your phone is ready to go all day!
5. Good Company
Sometimes a solo trip to the beach is nice when you really want some alone time. But I love bringing along family and friends because if I'm a hoot and a half, it gets multiplied by 10 when I'm with them! Hanging out and spending quality time with the ones that I love is time well spent. Plus, who else would take my fire Instagram photos?
Whether you are planning a vacation, or taking a spontaneous
trip it always sucks when you forget that one thing at home.
So have you got everything packed, because I'm ready to hit the beach!
