Top 5 Beach Travel Essentials

Last week I shared my packing list for Spring Break, and today I am excited to share a few more of my travel essentials for my trip to Seaside! If you’re planning to visit the area, HomeAway has some great rentals that you can check out here!

MY TOP 5 TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

1. SWIMSUIT

Fashion definitely carries over from the streets to the beach, and I love seeing all the new fun swim lines that come out each spring! Right now, Same Swim and Marysia are my two favorites! Whether I am headed to the beach or the lake, a bathing suit is always in my bag and definitely one of my travel essentials! 

2. SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses are a must have accessory for any sunny destination, especially the beach! Thankfully there are tons and tons of cute options to choose from at various price ranges! Right now I really love the mirrored styles (more here)!

3. BEACH BAG

With the growing fringe and pom pom trends, embellished beach bags have become such a fun accessory! So many brands have designed super cute totes that can easily be transitioned from the beach to day-to-day use!

4. MUSIC

I am someone that has to have background noise at nearly all times (I think this habit came from being from a big family :), and there is nothing better than beach music! I am always sure to bring a good portable speaker to the beach. Bose and UE are my two favorite brands for speakers, and this is the one I am currently using!

5. A GOOD BOOK

One of my favorite things about beach trips are beach reads! I don't know what it is about the beach, but it is definitely the place that I read the most. At home it seems like it can take me over a week to finish a book that I can read in a day at the beach. There is not much better than listening to the sound of the ocean and delving into a good book! Below you can find some of my recent favorite books! This one is a must read!
