Summer is the time for vacations, fun weekends in nature and, of course, bathing in warm water. Every time we go closer to the sea, lake, river and other water on hot summer days, we start thinking about what to take to the beach.
What things are necessary to make the stay under the warm sun rays comfortable? Let’s speak about it in this article.
Clothes
It is clear that we cannot do without a swimsuit or swimming trunks at the sea. However, let’s speak about things that we recommend you take if you go on a journey.
- Classic white T-shirt
Always an excellent choice that fits almost everything. Round, small, or V-neck – choose any style you like.
- Dress for the day and evening
Give your preference to a dress that is appropriate for daytime walks with sneakers, but easily turns into an elegant evening dress with the help of other shoes, some accessories and your favorite lipstick. Models from midi to maxi are ideal for such purposes.
- Light blouse
Choose loose blouses with embroidery or in boho style, in which you will feel good in hot countries. Wear them with a skirt or trousers, white or a bright shade.
- Wide trousers
Jeans are the last thing you will want to wear on a hot day at the sea, but if you like them, a summer vacation gives you an excellent opportunity to try something else. A pair of wide trousers is a comfortable option for sightseeing.
- Midi skirt
A universal piece of clothing, which, like a dress for the day and evening, can be suitable both for walking on the beach and for dining in a fine restaurant.
- Nice swimsuit
You need one or two swimsuits for timeless swimming and sunbathing. Choose a swimsuit that you like, in which you will feel confident on the beach or by the pool. If you like different activities on the water, pay attention to a rash vest – it is very comfortable.
- Comfortable sandals
In comfortable sandals, you will feel fantastic walking around the old town or on the beach. A classic pair of leather sandals will complement your fashionable look and protect your feet during long walks.
- Light cape
Complement your evening or beach style with a light cape or kimono that you can wear over your usual outfit or swimsuit.
- Universal scarf
Wrap it around your neck on the plane or around your shoulders on cool evenings — an universal scarf is a real find on vacation.
- The fashionable hat
With a straw hat, you will not only protect yourself from the sun, but also create a chic look.
Accessories for swimming
It’s nice to sunbathe on the coast and swing on the waves on an inflatable mattress, but if you have small children with you, you need to take vests and inflatable circles for them. Another useful device is an inflatable pool, where the water heats up instantly – the baby will be so happy there. In conclusion, swimming fins and a mask will be useful for fans of diving.
Towels
After bathing, you will definitely need to dry off, so, take a towel with you. By the way, it can also be useful if there are no sunbeds on the beach.
Sunscreens
First of all, the sensitive skin of the face is subjected to the sunlight so be sure to take a separate sunscreen specially for the face.
Sunscreen forms a film on the skin, which serves as protection from radiation and weakens the effect of sunlight. Suntan oil, on the contrary, strengthens the tan and moisturizes the skin.
Meal
If you are going to stay on the beach the whole day, then take something to eat with you. It is better to refuse something spicy or fried, but protein food will help to restore strength after active rest near the water. You can also take cucumbers and tomatoes with you. They contain a lot of fluid, do not load the stomach and contribute to saturation. Fruits effectively satisfy hunger, refresh, and fill the energy. If you have a child, then it is better to take berries without seeds: raspberries, blackberries or currants. Sweets on vacation with children are necessary – energy consumption must be replenished. Cookies, buns, dried fruits, nuts will come in handy. The most useful drink in summer is mineral water with lemon -it will give cheerfulness and fresh.
Toys
Universal toy suitable for the rest near the water – ball. You can also put a watering can and a sand set in the bag. We do not advise taking educational books to the beach, as the child should gain new impressions and fully relax.
Useful little things
Some people get bored lying on the beach and looking at the others. In this case, take a book or magazine. Wet wipes, disposable handkerchiefs, cotton swabs, a mirror and a comb – all this may also be needed.
And, of course, for all of the above, you will need a comfortable beach bag. Ideally, it should be roomy and light. Have a nice weekend!
