1. Coral Reef Safe Sunblock
This type of sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays while also protecting marine life and coral reefs. By using Reef Repair Sunscreen, you can help keep our oceans and beaches clean. Also, I love Thinkdaily Tinted Sunscreen for my daily sun protection. It seamlessly matches your skin tone without leaving any white residue.
2. Slippers/ Flip-flops
However, a comfortable pair of sandals is perfect for walking on the beach or around town. It protects your feet from hot sand or pavement while also providing comfort and support.
Aside from putting on sun protection lotion, it's also a good idea to bring a hat with you. It's not only great for added protection from the sun but also a good accessory to complete your summer look. It keeps you looking cool and avoids having a bad hair day.
Sunglasses are something I can't leave without when I'm heading to the beach. It's a must for everyone; it not only protects you from the stinging rays of the sun but totally enhances the summer feeling. It adds confidence for the ladies and is a great safety weapon for guys to watch bikini bottoms.
5. Beach Towel/Sarong / Big Scarf
I also love a big scarf/sarong as it's an essential piece of clothing that saves you from any wardrobe malfunction and keeps you dry and comfortable. It also serves as a mat when you want to lie down for your sunbathing. It also keeps your hair in place, and wearing it as a dress for girls will make you look like a summer goddess.
6. Waterproof Bag / Ziplock Bag
7. Camera
8. Beach Song Playlist
In the afternoon, I might throw in some house music with some watermelon shakes by my side and at night, maybe some old RnB or the latest upbeat dance music. I like old, happy, and familiar songs when I'm on the beach; sometimes, it brings back fun memories in my mind.
Whatever songs you have in mind. Keep your playlist interesting so it will spice up your summer experience.
9. Mini Speaker
Now that you have a playlist, bring along a mini speaker. It would totally enhance the music experience.
10. Goggles and Snorkel

A comfortable swimsuit is a must-have for any beach or pool day. It helps you feel confident and ready to swim and soak up the sun.
Bonus tip: Let me share a secret with you – for a summer goddess look, try pairing it up with a Tinted Lip Balm with SPF 15.
12. Water Bottle
My Motivational Reusable Bottle has been my trusty companion for a while now. It features a lovely ombre color scheme and a convenient handle for easy transport, helping me stay on top of my daily water intake. For a more compact size, Nalgene's Reusable Water Bottle is perfect, and then pair it up with a Reusable Silicone Straw and the Splash Guard, which is a must-have.
13. Insect Repellent
This is something you don't need, but then you stay all day at the beach till midnight and realize you wish you had one when you needed it most.
Mosquitoes and other bugs can be a nuisance during outdoor activities. Using a good quality insect repellent can help keep these pesky bugs away.
14. A Good Book
