7 Things You Might Forget to Bring to the Beach

Sunscreen and beach towels are beach bag staples that no one seems to forget. But people often gloss over the nice-to-haves, the things that will make your trip truly memorable. So scroll down and don't neglect to toss these things in your beach bag:

1. Waterproof Speakers

What's an epic beach trip without equally epic tunes? So pack along portable speakers (even better when it's waterproof) so you could bask and dance under the sun.

2. Lip Balm with SPF

You've lathered on some sun screen on every part of your body to protect yourself from the harsh rays of the sun, but hey, how about your lips? It's important to protect that pout so make sure to pack a lip balm with SPF. Sun burnt lips sure are painful alright!

3. Beach Hair Spray

Speaking of protection, your mane needs loving too! Find a spray that not only gives you beautiful beach waves, but shields your hair from the harmful UV rays so you won't have to deal with dry strands.

4. Floppy Hat

Not only will a floppy hat make you look super cute, it will also help in providing your face some extra protection from the sun. Wearing one will ensure you won't end up with a red, sunburnt nose.

5. Snacks

With all the time spent playing in the beach, you might end up a bit famished. Make sure to pack along some munchies just in case you get hungry. Bringing a couple of bottles would be good too so you can stay hydrated.

6. Ziplock Bags

Ziplock bags always come in handy. You can use them to store your wet swimsuit, your cell phone, pack your snacks and collect seashells!

7. Portable Charger

Going to the beach is the perfect chance to step up your Instagram game. To make sure your phone always has some juice to take amazing photos, bring along portable chargers with you.
