Spring is here and summer is coming up right on its heels, which means that it’s almost time to start traveling to the beach.
The beach is a perfect way to soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquility that only the ocean can provide.
With that being said, it is important to protect yourself from potential health hazards at the beach and to be comfortable. So, here are four must-pack items for any beach trip.
Umbrella
The sun at the beach is pleasant, but if the day is too hot or the sun is too strong, it’s also nice to be able to find refuge under the shade of an umbrella. Plus, it also protects you in the case of an unexpected rainstorm!
Plenty of Water
Hydration is key in the hottest months of the year, and the story is no different when traveling to the beach. Be sure to take plenty of water with you, especially if you plan on playing a sport like beach volleyball.
Protective Sunscreen
Skin cancer is a real threat that affects millions of people on a yearly basis. Sunburn is no fun either. For this reason, be sure to take sufficiently protective sunscreen with you to the beach of at least 30 SPF.
Bug Spray
Being in close proximity to the water makes it even more likely that you’ll find bugs. To avoid being bitten by pests such as mosquitos, add bug spray to your beach bag and wear it.
