Now that it is after the 4th of July it truly is summer. Summer is full of fun activities such as spending a day at the beach. I am kinda high maintenance when it comes to spending a day at the beach, I want to be comfortable and enjoy the heat, without getting overheated.
My ideal day at the beach involves sitting in the shade reading a book, with some breaks checking out the water when I get a little too warm. I love beaches in the Caribbean as the water is warm and full of colorful fish. Our beach in St Maarten was perfect, it was quiet and positioned on a cove so the waves were nice and calm as well.
If you are heading out to the beach – either close to home or on a vacation, make sure to check out a few of these items to make your day amazing. Plus, all of them can easily be shipped directly to your home thanks to Amazon, which makes life a little easier.

Last night, Brad and I were chatting with Kevin and Renee about some future vacation ideas. One of the ideas that came up was Sanibel Island in Florida. It is known for some amazing shell collecting so those shell bags would be perfect for our time on the beach.

A great list, all things we needed last week when we were in Myrtle Beach. The only other thing that is essential for our family (though not everyone lol) is beach toys. We are all about the sand castle/sculpture building. lol

I might have to get waterproof cases for me and my husband. He’s on the boat a lot, so that would come in handy! Great list!
