These are my non-negotiables for any beach vacation. Some may seem obvious, but many of these are simple, small things that don’t take up much room. 1. Collapsible water bottle to stay hydrated at all times, more so when I’m in the sun 2. Hardsided, double-compartment sunglass holder. I use this for my prescription glasses and my sunglasses. The hard shell keeps your glasses protected in your bag. 3. Portable, rechargeable fan. This gets packed for every warm weather trip. I use this at the pool and while sightseeing. 4. Hydrating lip balm to protect my lips from drying out 5. Hand sanitizer. I spray this on my hands and on anything around me. Plus it smells so good! 6. Oil free sunscreen that absorbs quickly 7. Lightweight travel umbrella that can be used to provide shade at the beach, pool or when standing on long lines in the sun. This has made such a difference in keeping me cool. Plus I always have it in case it rains. 8. A one-piece bathing suit that gives support and sculpts and doesn’t break the bank. 9. A tote bag that I can use for beach trips but can easily be used for market runs and errands in the summer. beachessentials beachtravel poolessentials travelessentials travelmusthave LTKdayinmylife LTKTravel LTKSwim
