Beach Essentials You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Absolutely Do)
Sunshine, saltwater, and maybe a cheeky spritz in hand—it’s officially beach season. But before you toss a towel in your bag and call it a day, allow us to elevate your seaside setup. These are the unsung essentials—smart, stylish little upgrades that’ll save your skin, your suitcase, and your sanity.
Whether you’re vacationing in the Med, road-tripping to the coast, or just perfecting your poolside lounge game, here are four summer heroes you’ll want to pack every time.
1. The SPF That Smells Like Vacation Itself
This sunscreen does more than just protect—it transports. Lightweight, non-greasy, and completely nostalgic, Vacation’s spray-on formula is infused with that perfect ‘80s beach day scent. It smells so good, you’ll be tempted to wear it even on cloudy Tuesdays. Dermatologist-tested and water-resistant, it keeps your glow protected whether you're lounging like a Roman empress or channeling Bond girl energy on a jet ski.
2. The Sandproof Blanket for Glamorous Lounging
Woke up too late to snag a beach chair? No worries—this blanket is the moment. Oversized, lightweight, and magically sandproof, it’s a beach day game-changer. It folds down small enough to toss in your bag, yet opens wide enough for you, two friends, a bottle of rosé, and a charcuterie moment. Corner pockets keep it grounded when the sea breeze picks up, and the colorways are cute enough for that overhead drone shot.
3. The Sand Remover That Saves Your Hotel Room (and Sanity)
Tired of waging war against sand in your hotel room, rental car, or suitcase? This clever little pouch is your secret weapon. Made with eco-friendly, talc-free ingredients, the MNZZ Sand Remover wipes away every last stubborn grain—no rinsing required. It comes in a waterproof pouch with a keychain clip, making it the perfect beach bag MVP. Bonus: it’s cute enough to gift but smart enough to keep for yourself.
4. The Water Shoes You’ll Actually Want to Wear
Say goodbye to stubbed toes and stealthy seashell attacks. These soft, quick-drying water shoes are actually cute and insanely comfortable. They protect your feet from hot sand, rocky beaches, and slick pool decks, all while being foldable and easy to pack. Think of them as beach-day insurance: slip them on when you’re exploring tide pools or paddleboarding at golden hour—and thank us later.
Pack Smart, Lounge Better
The right beach essentials make all the difference between a sandy struggle and a sun-soaked success. Whether you're island-hopping or just chasing the sun locally, these travel-friendly finds bring the style, the comfort, and the ahhh back into your beach days.
