Ahh, summer – it’s all about looking forward to three-day adventures, living off popsicles, and relaxing by the bonfire. If you’re headed to the beach (or have yet to make plans), here’s what you’ll need.

1. Tote
One part overnight bag and one part beach bag – this canvas carryall has every move covered.
2. Sun Hat
A.k.a. the chicest form of extra sun protection. It adds a little elegance to any outfit, on the sand or not, and keeps damaging rays away.
3. One-Piece
Not only are these swimsuits in, they’re also the ultimate space savers for packing. Why? Funny you should ask…
4. Linen Pants
Toss this breezy pair over your one-piece and – ta-da! – instant beach-to-boardwalk outfit (no extra shirt required).
5. Lace-Up Sandals
Comfy and ready for anything, flat lace-up sandals stay on and don’t interfere with bike-riding plans.
6. Tinted Moisturizer with SPF
Packing light is all about consolidating – and this makeup/sunscreen/skin perfecter mixes three beauty essentials into one itty bottle. Win.
7. Beach Reads
What’s a vacation without a few best sellers? We plan on totally unplugging, so these books will be in our beach bag everywhere we go.
