With summer right here, raise your hand if
you are dying to hit the beach at the earliest. We are, too. There is something
so cheer-inducing about a long sunny day at the beach, surfing the waves or
just relaxing by the coastline, listening to the sound of the water and feeling
the nerves calm down. No wonder people all over the world look forward to beach
holidays eagerly. However, it is all the more fun when you are properly
prepared for the sun and the sand. In order to pack accordingly for the perfect
beach vacation with your family, go through our guide:
1.
Sunscreen: This one is a no-brainer,
still it comes first on our list because we are sure some of you will still
forget to carry it to the beach! No matter how waterproof your sunscreen claims
to be, it is better that you carry it to the beach and keep reapplying
regularly to avoid sunburns, premature ageing and even skin cancer.
2.
Waterproof Dry Bag: First things first,
you need to be ensured that your precious belongings and gadgets are safe while
you are surfing the waves.
3.
Float straps: We live an era where we
can not imagine life without our gadgets, and those selfies in the waves are an
absolute must-take. To ensure that your new phone with its high-quality camera
does not sink to the bottom of the sea, carry these floating storage straps
where you can keep your devices safely.
4.
Underwater digital camera: Now this is
an absolute must-have. What is a beach vacation without those underwater
selfies and those rolling-around-in-the-waves videos? If you are planning to
engage in some motorsport or scuba diving, pack an underwater camera the first
thing. Remember, there is no other way you will be able to share updates of
your vacation on Instagram.
5.
Beach mats: We prefer mats over beach
blankets, because blankets tend to get blown around in the wind and end up with
too much of sand. If soaked, they also take time to dry up. Instead, carry
beach mats. They are light and dry quickly. Look for the ones that have pockets
on the ends to store your belongings.
6.
Beach umbrella: You may use all the
sunscreen but still end up feeling uncomfortable in the heat. We suggest you
carry a beach umbrella and anchor it in the sand. Not only does it provide serious
respite from the sun, but it is also spacious enough to accommodate your entire
family.
7.
Cooler bag: What is a day at the beach
without a steady supply of cold drinks and snacks? Pick a good cooler bag from
your nearest supermarket, store some lemonade and salami sandwiches, and your
beach vacation will be heavenly.
8.
Portable charger: After clicking all
those selfies and making videos, it is quite natural if your phone dies down.
Do not lose connectivity on the beach. Instead, always carry a mini portable
charger to keep your battery alive.
9.
Swimsuit cover up: For all the ladies
out there, sure you look cute in those printed bikinis, but once out of the
water, we suggest covering up with a fun and flirty sarong to prevent your skin
from getting excessively burnt due to sun exposure after the salt water.
1 Leave in conditioner: The humidity at
the beach might cause an unfortunate situation with your hair (think Monica in
Barbados). To avoid looking like a poodle in your pictures, carry a leave in
conditioner that smoothens your hair and tames the frizz without weighing it
down, so that no matter the weather, you look fabulous and Insta-ready, always!
This was our list of all the just-haves for
a fabulous vacation or even a weekend by the beach. So,
pack accordingly, and get ready to soak in the sun and surf away!
