Traveling to a beach is a pleasurable activity, especially when the temperatures are moderate, the sun is shining, or you want to spend quality time with friends or family on the weekend. Who doesn’t want to build sandcastles, bask in the sun, swim and throw splashing water, fly kites and play games at the beach? But before you head towards the beach with kids, you cannot merely take sunscreens, beach towels, and flip flops. You must consider some items that you can carry along for a perfect day at the beach.
#Goggles and Glares
Most of the people visit beaches to bask in the sun and read novels. Sunlight is essential for the eyes, but an excess of exposure can damage the sensitive cells and cause color blindness. People can wear shady glares to protect their eyes from harmful sun rays that include UV rays. You can exempt yourself from getting dark circles too. These glares can be worn even when you are playing volley-ball with your teammates for a better view. You can buy glares from optical designers who can also provide you with frames that suit your face.
#Sunscreens
Just like eyes, the skin is sensitive too. You don’t want to go to a beach in a happy mood only to come home with sunburns and disappointment. Always carry sunscreen with higher SPF in your handbag when you are going to the beach as it shields the skin and protects it from sunburns, rashes, and cancerous cells. Countless companies sell sunscreens with different range of SPFs according to the skin type:
- Lakme
- Neutrogena
- Nivea
You can count on your favorite brands apart from the sunscreens mentioned above.
#First Aid Kit
It’s always good to be prepared for ailments and injuries apart from carrying glares and sunscreens. When you take children along with you who run around on the beach, play with their friends, and become victims of minor injuries. Keep a first aid kit in your car or bag that you carry; it can include bandages, ointments, bug spray, cotton pads, prescribed medicines, etc.
#Snacks
A person engages in various activities on the beach – running, playing, jogging, swimming that increases their appetite to carry snacks along with them. You cannot carry too many snacks on the beach, but the bite-size snacks can be kept in the zip lock bags. If you plan on taking sandwiches on the beach, cut them into quarters so that if one piece falls, you are still left with plenty.
#Carry your Water Bottle
Don’t forget to carry a water bottle to the beach since you will feel thirsty after spending quality time in different activities. Sometimes, the water bottles are quite expensive on beaches, save money, carry your water bottle, and put more ice in the container because when it melts, you can still drink cold water.
