Here are the top things to take to the beach for vacation.

10. Beach bag
Even the most minimal of packers cannot escape beach baggage. There are too many must-haves to carry and never enough hands. A sturdy, stylish beach bag is the answer. It should be big enough to hold reading material, snacks, towels, sunscreen, lip balm, water bottle and everything else you’ll want within arm’s reach.
9. Time stopper
It’s an unscientific fact that beach days fly by twice as fast as ordinary days and it’s not fair. If possible, invent a doohickey to stop time and don’t forget to pack it.
8. Chair or blanket
Most vacationers agree that a day at the beach is for play and relaxation. In order to dig your toes in the sand and just enjoy being there you need a place to park your bottom. Blankets get sandy, but they’re perfect for napping. Beach chairs are just as comfortable and keep you propped up so it’s easier to read and keep an eye on the little ones. Take your pick or bring both.
7. Water bottle
For some reason it’s shockingly easy to spend an entire day looking at and playing in the ocean without thinking to stay hydrated. You’d think the water everywhere aspect would be a visual cue, but there’s so many other fun distractions. Dehydration, too much sun and high heat is a dangerous combination and can quickly lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Do yourself a favor and bring a decent sized water bottle. Fill it with ice water before heading out and refill it often.
6. Flip flops
Guard your feet from scorching mid-day sand in classic, durable flip flops. They’re a cinch to slip on whether you’re wet or dry, taking a walk or checking out snack bar temptations on the boardwalk. The style keeps you cool and you don’t have to worry about them getting sandy or wet.
5. Towels
The ocean cools your body temperature down fast. You may not notice when floating in the water, but by your second or third dip you’ll certainly feel it. You can always air dry, but after a long swim giant, soft beach towels feel so good to snuggle in.
4. Beach umbrella
This is one nice-to-have item that may or may not be available where you’re going. Call ahead and plan to bring one if needed. The shade they provide keeps you cooler and is much-needed extra protection from the sun.
3. Toys
For families, things to take to the beach for vacation must include toys. The beach is a great big sand box. Shovels, sand castle molds and plenty of colorful buckets are essential beach gear that’ll keep them happily occupied between jumping waves.
2. Sunglasses
If things go as hoped you’ll get at least a few blue sky, beautiful days. When not frolicking in the waves, you’ll need to protect your eyes from UV rays. Why not do it in cool summery sunglasses? They keep you squint-free and inconspicuous when checking out yummy beach bods.

Fun in the sun means getting wet and not worrying that a wave will leave you and those tan lines exposed. A supportive swimsuit is among the most important things to take to the beach for vacation. Choose a style you’re excited to wear, but stay away from skimpy cuts that are better suited for the pool. Try it on before leaving to ensure it fits properly.
