Have
you ever wondered if you’re missing something when you’re packing for the
beach? Well I’m going to help you because I’ve always wanted a proper packing
list. We all know that you can forget things all the time. I can’t think of a
time when I didn’t forget something.
First
I’d like to go over the needs. You should never forget your bathing suit; I
mean that’s the most important thing! You also need to bring your towel or what
would you dry off with? Unless, of course, you like air drying but who would
have the time? I’m usually at the beach or in the pool all the time. Flip-flops
are another very important thing. That way you can slip them on and off, but
make sure you wouldn’t mind getting them sandy or wet.
You should make sure you’re always hydrated because you’re going to be
in the heat all day. This means drink lots of water. One more very important
thing is sunscreen. You can never go without it because the last thing you
would want is to be peeling like a banana.
Now
is the optional stuff. Sunglasses would be my recommendation. You might even
bring a toy like a Frisbee, beach ball, etc. Cover ups or hats would be good
maybe if you’re going somewhere right after the beach.
If
you like to tan then you could bring tanning lotion. Bringing a magazine/book
or listening to music could keep you from getting bored while tanning. I know I
would be miserable without my music.Of course you probably should have a chair
or something to put down on the sand so when you lay down you won’t get sand
all over you.
