Keep your fancy frames at home. These travel-friendly shades are made with a pliable, rubberized material, so they won’t stretch or snap while you’re on the go.

Wear these lightweight, waterproof slides straight from the beach to the sand bar.

Toss these comfortable shorts in your trunk for a quick change after a swim.

Keep your beach beverage cold for up to 24 hours in this sleek, double-insulated water bottle.

This oil-free, water-resistant sunscreen will protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Reapply every 2 hours you’re outside.
This stick makes it easy to apply sunscreen on your face without missing any spots.

Swap your fraying ball cap for this hip, tropical straw hat. It’ll tie even the simplest trunks and T-shirt together.

Pick a simple watch for day trips. We like this water-resistant Timex, which uses a cool bullseye dial and military-style numberings to create a vintage feel.

These tailored chambray shorts pair well with a white tank top for the beach, or a navy short-sleeve Henley shirt for poolside drinks.

Take your tank game up a notch with this color-blocked navy and white tee. Pair it with solid swim trunks.

Dry yourself off with this soft-as-hell towel, then use it as a bed and nap like a king on the beach.

This mega-durable bag is made from heavy-duty canvas and rubber latex. It’s big enough to stash every beach necessity.

You can never have too many simple rubber flip flops. We like these in white for a fresh summer look.

There’s nothing like a morning run on the boardwalk or beach to jumpstart a fun summer day. Sweat in style in this cotton blend tee.

The secret to making a killer tan stick around: Use the right moisturizer. Apply this after lounging in the sun to keep your tan from becoming blotchy or fading before your trip ends.
