Planning a trip to the beach? Well, you could say we’re experts when it comes to packing the perfect beach bag. Here’s a list of the no fuss essentials that you actually need for a day by the seaside, whilst keeping your bag lightweight and easy to carry.

1. Beach Bag

Let’s start with the most important thing… a bag that can fit it all! Our all-time favourite beach bag that you can use for pretty much any occasion is our must-have Linen Tote. It’s the perfect size to fit all your essentials, and it’s soft and comfortable to carry.

2. Beach Towel

If we’re just heading to the beach for a couple of hours, we like to take a lightweight, quick drying towel like our sand-free cabana towel or pool towel. But if we’re planning to spend a full day at the beach lounging in the sun, we always take one of our beloved roundies, because we love the soft, plush texture.

3. Hat

Give yourself some shade and protection from the sun with a cute hat. Designed for all your seaside adventures, we’ve got wide-brimmed straw hats for beach days and super cute bucket hats for brunch.

Our Macrame Tote, Amur Leopard Travel Towel, Linen Fan and We Are Feel Good Inc sunscreen.

4. Sunscreen

An absolute must if you’re spending time in the sun! We prefer a preservative free SPF 50+ that feels light and non-greasy on the skin.

5. Water bottle

No matter how long we’re spending at the beach, we always take a water bottle with us to stay hydrated. Hot tip: choose an insulated stainless steel water bottle that you can reuse time and time again, and will keep your water cool all day.

6. Sunglasses

Another seaside staple that we can’t leave home without! Protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays with a pair of sunglasses. You’ll thank yourself later!

7. Pouch

There’s nothing more annoying than digging through your beach bag trying to find things like your phone and keys, so one of our must-try beach hacks is to pack a pouch to store all your smaller bits and pieces.

8. SPF Lip Balm

When it comes to SPF, think about your body, face and lips. Once we’ve applied our sunscreen, we like to use a SPF lip balm to protect our lips from getting sunburnt.

9. Zinc

We like to apply a lightweight zinc to those problem areas that are prone to sunburn like the top of your forehead and nose, just for added protection and to even out our skin tone.

10. Kids Beach Toys

If you’re taking your little ones to the beach with you, our Kids Beach Toy Set is a must. Made from eco-friendly materials, this handy set comes with a bucket and three toys to keep their imaginations running wild.

Planning a full day at the beach? If we’re heading to the beach for more than just a few hours, our picnic basket is a must-have. Complete with a fully insulated basket, you can pack your favourite fruit and snacks, and keep them cool all day.
