Top Swimwear Essentials For Your Beach Bag

How many times have you been to a beach and wished you had brought something along with you to make the experience a little bit more convenient? Whether it’s sticky sunscreen or annoying, sand-filled flip-flops, there is no way around this summertime dilemma. And while you can always buy a new bikini for the occasion, what about those of us who love being practical but also want that perfect look? In an effort not to bother coming up with a whole new travel bag, here are our top swimming accessories and swimwear that will help save time and money!

 

1. Tankini Tops - Maybe you’re not a fan of wearing bikinis, but we can see why. Some think it’s too uncomfortable to be involved in the water and others simply feel like there is no need for swimwear when they aren’t actually in the water. But if you do want to show off your figure in the sand, then we recommend looking into tankini tops, which offer more coverage than traditional bikinis and provide more sun protection.

2. Flip-flops – Some people think this is a silly accessory, but bringing a pair of flip-flops is like bringing a lifesaver. Not only do they make your feet and nails look and smell amazing, they offer both practicality and comfortability that you will not want to look past up. How many times has someone ruined the feel of the beach by wearing their work shoes into the ocean? It happens too often!

There are several options when it comes to flip-flops such as thongs, rubber soles, and wooden thongs. And what you decide will probably depend on your personal style or where you plan on wearing them afterward. But whatever you choose, make sure they are at least a little form-fitting and can be worn for hours on end without rubbing your feet raw.

3. Lotion –We don’t care much for lotions. But let’s not forget that lotion is something that melts into the skin to even out your skin tone and prevent flaking or chapping, two things that could ruin your beach day! There are several options when it comes to sunscreen and lotion, so again it really depends on what you decide you want to bring and how long you plan on being in the sun.

4. Sunscreen – No one wants to spend all day beached out on the sand without protection from harmful UV rays. And if you’re in water that’s over 90 degrees, it’s really important to protect your skin. Spending too much time in the sun can lead to premature aging of the skin, so safety is always a priority.

But what exactly do you look for in safety? There are few things more important than the active ingredients, so when choosing a product that fits your needs we recommend looking for a lotion with at least SPF 30 or higher. There are also many waterproof sunscreen options. If you plan on getting into the water before midday we would recommend packing a little bit of both, because sun rays can reflect off of water and still be dangerous.

5. Goggles - Many people dislike water sports, but if you are one of the lucky ones who does enjoy them, then we suggest looking into swim goggles. Not only do they protect your eyes from water, but they also improve your vision. And if you have poor vision without glasses or contacts, then goggles can truly help with that as well. Plus there are so many different types to choose from that we’re sure you can find a pair that fits your style and budget!

6. Beach Towel – We know it’s a bit redundant but if you do not bring a beach towel with you this summer, then we strongly recommend looking into one. Not only does it help protect your skin from sand and sun rays but can also help make your experience at the beach more enjoyable as well! Plus towels are usually inexpensive, only costing a few dollars at most stores.

When it comes to bringing a beach bag with you on a trip to the beach, think about what swimwear or swimming accessories need to be protected from the sand and water. Try to keep the bag water-resistant because sand and water can be irritating and flaky. Also, decide on what you plan on putting in the bag and how much space you want to give each item.
