A Day Trip To The Beach? What To Pack In Your Bag

Spending the day at the beach is one of the best ways to enjoy the sun, sand and waves. And you can make your day even better by bringing the right supplies along to be sure that you have everything that you need throughout the day. Here are a few beach supplies that I like to bring with me:

Toiletries: Sunscreen is a must when you are out in the sun all day. Lather up to be sure that you are preventing sunburns. I also like to bring a wide-brimmed hat to shade my face from the sun and also some lip balm and sunglasses.

Entertainment: Frisbees, volleyballs, and sand castle building supplies are always fun to have at the beach. Or if you are looking for a relaxing day, bring along a good book to read and an mp3 player for music. Depending on the beach, you may also consider bringing along snorkeling gear so that you can spend some time viewing the beauty that lies beneath the water.

Food: You can bring food along, or buy it near the beach. I usually bring a cooler with some cold drinks, sandwiches, and snacks. Any other type of snacky food works great, crackers and chips are good to bring along to go with your lunch. Make sure to stay well hydrated since you will be in the sun all day, it is smart to bring a few water bottles for each person in the group.

Cash: Many of the food and shopping establishments near the beach prefer cash, so it's always a good idea to have some cash on hand just in case. Otherwise, keep a credit card available because it can be used at some of the vendors.

And of course, don't forgot your beach towel! The bigger the better, because it will be a great way to dry off and relax on the sand.
