A beach vacation will forever be my favorite vacation! Since Chris and I purchased a vacation rental on the beach last summer (info on our townhouse linked HERE!) we’ve been down there quite a bit and I’ve narrowed down my top beach trip essentials! These are all what I believe are the top items you need to pack for a fun beach trip 🙂

I’ll list all of my beach trip essentials in a list below, or you can click the photo to shop them on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app! You don’t need to have to app to access any of the links.

Beach Trip Essentials List

Beach Trip Essentials:

1.) High Waisted Swimsuit

This swimsuit is SO flattering! I have friends of all body types who own it and it looks amazing on all of them! Comes in lots of different colors and prints and is under $30.

2.) Rainbow Sunglasses

These are so fun and pretty! I love the mix of colors because they end up going with every single outfit. The pair I linked is only $16!

3.) Hair Crimper / Waver

This easy-to-use, affordable hair crimper gives you the prettiest beach waves! Also perfect to touch up your hair after a day by the pool or at the beach.

4.) Brumate Hopsulator Slim

If you like canned seltzer water or hard seltzers this is a MUST for a beach trip! I get so much use out of mine both at home and at the beach. (For traditional 12 oz cans / 16 oz craft cans snag the Hopsulator Trio 3-IN-1!)

5.) Denim Baseball Hat

Love the denim look for the beach + it goes with everything! The one I linked is super affordable.

6.) Beaded Fringe Earrings

These are so pretty and pair perfectly with swimwear and summer looks! Come in a few pretty colors but I love the cream since they go with all of my outfits.

7.) Face Sunscreen / Body Sunscreen

100% a MUST for a beach trip!! 🙂 I love the Supergoop Matte Face Sunscreen! Makes your skin look amazing and smooths your pores + has SPF 40. And I love the Hawaiian Tropic Matte Effect Sunscreen for my body. Leaves your skin feeling amazing, comes in SPF 3o or 50, and is reef friendly!

8.) Fun Beach Tote

A beach bag is definitely needed to haul all your stuff to the sun & sand, why not have a super cute one?! The one I linked is from one of my favorite boutiques and has the prettiest details!

9.) Floppy Beach Hat

Not only do these help protect your face from the sun, they look super cute in beach pictures and are the perfect swim accessory! The one I linked is only $22 and often on sale.

10.) Drapey Button-up Beach Top

This top is SO versatile and makes the cutest beach cover-up! Only $25 from Target.

11.) Round Beach Towel / Blanket

Level-up your beach towel and get a cute round one with a fun print!

12.) Rechargeable Handheld Fan

Perfect for the beach! I also use mine to help dry my makeup after I use my setting spray.

13.) Double Strap Foam Sandals

So cute and come clean super easy! Perfect for pool and beach days. They are super comfy and have become my favorite shoes to throw on and go in the summer.
