Everything You Need To Pack For A Successful Trip To The Beach

By Sky Ariella

VACATIONS

Towels
Most beach-goers only pack one towel to the beach, but in reality, you need at least two towels — one for drying off and the other for laying out on the beach.
Beach Bag
A beach bag or tote makes the journey from car to beach so much easier and keeps all your stuff perfectly organized. Be sure to get one that won't get sand trapped inside.
Wagon
Instead of struggling with your arms full, beach wagons make it simpler to trek your way across the sand with cumbersome objects like beach tents, inflatables, and food.
Sunscreen
Sunscreen is always important when outdoors, but beach-goers should specifically use reef-friendly sunscreen, which lacks chemicals that damage the delicate marine world.
Shoes
Tiny creatures called hookworms can lurk under the sand and dig their way into your feet if you walk along the beach without shoes, so bring flip-flops or water shoes to wear.
