Going to the beach is something alot of people tend to do in the summertime. Just a few days ago, I went to the beach with the youth group from my church. The weather was great, the water was beautiful, and memories were made. We had a pretty great time. I hadn’t been to the beach in a while and I wanted to make sure I was completely prepared so, I made a list. I thought I would share it with you just in case you go to the beach this summer, and need ideas/suggestions/tips on what to take. Here is what I had on my list.
Beach Check List:
- iPod, plus charger and headphones
- a water bottle {Unless you’re going with a group like I did, then I would recommend bring a cooler with water and other stuff}
- Sunscreen {And lots of it, especially if you burn easily like me. At least SPF 30 or higher. NOTE: Reapply every once in a while.. this is where I went wrong and learned the hard way.}
- ^ You can also take sun tan lotion {I took both, just in case.}
- Sunglasses
- Beach towel(s) {I took two. One to sit on, one to dry off with.}
- Chair(s)
- Umbrella, or something like it {We took a canopy. So much shade!}
- Flip-flops {I took two pairs of flip-flops. Not really sure why, I just like being prepared.}
- Hair brush
- Book {In case you feel like reading, of course.}
- Snacks
- Extra clothes {If you need them. I did.}
- Hair ties, clips, headbands, makeup remover, etc. {If you’re planning on wearing makeup to the beach, I suggest only wearing a little bit. What I did: I used sunscreen instead of foundation because your skin absorbs whatever you put on it. For my eyes, I just used liquid eyeliner on top (should’ve gotten waterproof), some pencil eyeliner for the bottom, waterproof mascara, and a lipstick with SPF 15. I would avoid using eyeshadow.}
- Aloe vera gel, or a lotion that contains aloe vera {If you get sunburned.. you’ll thank me for putting this on here later.}
Well, there you have it. This was pretty much all I took and I was good all day.
Hope this helps! 🙂
Whole Lot Of Lovely
