Whether you're a coastal local or beach-bound for your summer escape, having the right gear can make or break your beach day. With the Summer of 2025 promising plenty of sun, surf, and shoreline adventures, it’s time to pack smart.

-
Sun Protection That Works
Start with the basics: reef-safe sunscreen, a curve-billed hat, and polarized sunglasses. Sun protection is non-negotiable, especially during peak hours. Lightweight apparel is also a plus for extended beach hangs. 👉 Shop Hats for the Seaside -
A Sand-Free Beach Blanket That Doubles as a Tote
Forget bulky towels that collect sand. Our outdoor beach blankets are lightweight, quick-drying, have a water-resistant bottom, and roll up into a compact tote-style bundle with buckles and a handle—ready to grab and go. 👉 Shop Beach Blankets -
Hydration + Chill Gear
Insulated water bottles or tumblers keep your drinks icy in the heat. Opt for stainless steel or BPA-free options that are durable, eco-friendly, and beach-approved. 👉 Shop Tumblers & Bottles -
Adventure-Ready Apparel
Our collection of breathable tees, tanks, and hoodies are ideal for any beachside activity—from bonfires to boat rides. Bonus points for shirts with outdoor themes like camping, fishing, and surfing. 👉 Shop Coastal & Outdoor Clothing -
Totes That Can Handle It All
Say goodbye to floppy bags and hello to sturdy weekender bags with reinforced handles. Large enough to carry towels, snacks, books, and more—without sacrificing style. 👉 Shop Tote Bags -
All-Purpose Footwear
Bring footwear that can go from sandy shores to rocky trails. Waterproof sandals or slip-resistant water shoes are a must for exploring tide pools or lakeside trails. -
Soft, Quick-drying Beach Towels

Entertainment Essentials
Portable speakers, a good book, or playing cards keep the fun going between swims. Just remember to respect the vibe and keep volumes beach-friendly.

Eco-Conscious Touches
Reusable snack bags, compostable utensils, and trash bags (our canvas totes are great for this) help you leave the beach as beautiful as you found it. Sustainability is always in style. 👉 Shop Eco-Friendly Totes -
