Beach Day Essentials

Beach essentials are the little things that turn an average beach day into a legendary one. Whether you’re stretched out catching rays, tossing a ball with friends, or just relaxing to your favorite playlist, the right gear makes it all better. Our collection of beach day essentials was built for long days, salty air, and sandy toes—because we know that beach life is better when you’ve got the good stuff with you.

We've Got Answers

What Is Essential for the Beach?

Start with the 5 S’s of sun safety Sunscreen? Sun hat? Sunglasses? And don’t forget to hydrate. Add in a beach bag, something to sit on like a towel, and maybe an umbrella for shade, and you’re set. Don’t forget snacks, a change of clothes, and some tunes to keep the vibe going. A waterproof pouch for your phone or keys is a bonus. And hey, the less time you spend worrying about what you forgot, the more time you get to actually enjoy the beach.

What Are the Best Beach Games?

When it comes to beach games, it’s all about easy-to-learn, hard-to-stop-playing fun. Spikeball, beach paddleball, and frisbee are crowd favorites. Tidal ball and beach volleyball are perfect for groups. Try a round of beach bocce ball or good ol’ fashioned sandcastle building. Whether you’re getting competitive or just killing time between dips in the water, the right game keeps the good times rollin’.

What Is the Difference Between a Beach Towel and a Regular Towel?

Beach towels are the laid-back legends of towel life. They’re longer and wider than your typical bath towel—aka way better for stretching out on the sand. They’re also made to dry quickly, shake off sand easier, and show off fun patterns that scream summer. Bath towels? Great for post-shower chill. Beach towels? Built for sunshine, surf, and snacks under the sun.
