Finally, you’ll want to pop all of this into a handy beach bag, and you’re good to go. There are so many pretty beach bags around it can be hard to know which to choose. But if you make sure it’s strong , allowed to get dirty and water resistant , you’re onto a winner! WATERPROOF BEACH BAG If you’re enjoying a family trip, it wouldn’t be a beach day without building sandcastles with the kids. But if you’re struggling with your space, bring a collapsible sand bucket or two. Just push the bucket down to flatten it. Simple! COLLAPSIBLE SAND BUCKETS Unless the beach you’ve chosen is near a restaurant or your hotel, you’ll need to take some food and water along with you. Luckily, there are certain snacks that stay cool for longer. Frozen grapes , peaches , raspberries and whole-grain pretzels are a great option. For extra freshness, pop them in a cool bag or box. BEACH-FRIENDLY SNACKS Sure, you can take any old towel to the beach. But if you invest in a light, quick-drying towel, it will dry within minutes and be ready to use over and over again . Towels have all sorts of handy uses at the beach: they’re perfect for lounging around, wiping off unwanted sand, or wrapping yourself up after a swim. QUICK-DRYING TOWELS Let’s start with perhaps the most obvious item of them all. Sunscreen! It simply wouldn’t be a list of must-haves without it. Along with beach cover-ups and maybe a straw hat, lathering on your favourite sunscreen is the only way to keep the sunburn away. But how about a ‘reef safe’ option? This sunscreen is not only waterproof but will help protect our oceans too! ‘REEF-SAFE’ SUNSCREEN There’s nothing like a relaxing beach day in a sun-drenched destination.
