10 Beach Essentials for a Perfect Summer Day
10 Beach Essentials for a Perfect Summer Day
The best beach days feel effortless and fun—and having the right essentials on hand helps make that happen. You know the kind of day: the sun’s out, the water’s warm, your towel’s in the perfect spot, and you’ve remembered everything —from the SPF to the speaker. No frantic searches through a sandy bag. No soggy clothes. No wishing you’d packed something you didn’t. Whether you’re headed to a tropical escape or your local coastline, these are the beach essentials that make a good beach day feel like a great one—easy, organized, and ready for wherever the tide takes you.
1. The Best Beach Tote
A spacious, easy-to-clean beach tote is a must for carrying all the essentials. Our ALOHA Collection Totes are Splash-Proof®, lightweight, and designed to keep belongings dry and sand-free—perfect for every adventure. For those days when you need to haul it all, the Holo Holo Tote is oversized, making it ideal for extra towels, snacks, and beach gear. If you prefer a more compact option with a zippered top to keep everything secure, the Day Tripper Tote is the perfect fit.
2. Wet Bikini Bag
A wet bikini bag keeps wet swimsuits separate from your dry essentials—no leaks, no mess. Our Splash-Proof Pouches are lightweight, water-resistant, and easy to clean, perfect for beach and pool days.
3. Sunscreen
Sun protection is a non-negotiable beach essential. A broad-spectrum SPF keeps your skin safe from harmful UV rays. We love Sun Bum for its reef-safe formula and tropical scent—perfect for long days in the sun. Pro tip? The Skinny Confidential Ice Roller is a must for depuffing and soothing sun-kissed skin. Keep it in your cooler for a refreshing post-beach treatment.
4. Beach Cooler
A lightweight, insulated beach cooler is essential for staying refreshed on a hot day by the water. Whether you're lounging under the sun, setting up a seaside picnic, or reaching for an ice-cold drink after a swim, a portable, leak-proof portable cooler keeps everything chilled for hours. Designed for easy carrying and all-day cooling, it’s a must-have for any beach trip.
5. A Luxe Beach Towel
You can’t hit the beach without a great towel. Made from premium cotton Jacquard, ours is ultra-luxe, plush, absorbent, and soft against your skin. It’s just as good for drying off after a swim as it is for stretching out on the sand or lounging poolside. A true beach-day essential.
6. Waterproof Speaker
Every beach day needs a good soundtrack—and the right speaker makes all the difference. The Speaqua Barnacle is waterproof, sand-proof, and built to handle the outdoors. With Bluetooth and offline music storage, you can listen with or without WiFi. Whether you're by the ocean, at the pool, or out on the boat, this speaker keeps the music going.
7. Insulated Mug
Staying hydrated is a must on a hot beach day. A stainless steel, insulated water bottle like our ALOHA x Mizu wide-mouth bottle keeps drinks cold for hours, making it the perfect beach companion. Designed for durability and reusability, it’s an essential for every beach trip.
8. Trucker Hat
Protect your eyes and face with a Trucker Hat Look for UV-blocking lenses and a hat with an adjustable strap to keep it secure on windy beach days.
9. A Pareo (Beach Wrap)
Wear it as a beach cover-up, poolside wrap, or tied-up as a dress for a quick beachside outfit change. They can even double as a beach blanket or inflight travel scarf!
10. Bring the Shade
No beach day is complete without the perfect beach umbrella. We love the ones from Business & Pleasure—they come in the chicest colorways and are a great way to stay cool and covered while you lounge seaside.
