Heading out to the beach is a fun way to get some fresh air and vitamin D, relax with friends, and get rid of any stress you may be feeling. If you are set on driving out to the beach, you will first want to make sure you come prepared. The beach is fun but failing to bring the right equipment can make the day hectic.
If fun in the sun is what you are looking for, check out the following suggestions for which accessories to take with you.
Comfortability
One of your top priorities at the beach should be to enjoy yourself and take it easy. Keeping comfortability in mind, there are plenty of different things you can bring with you to make your day all the more relaxing. You do not need to be directly in the sunlight to receive the benefits, which is why it is suggested to not stay in direct sunlight for too long. If the sand is hot, feel free to pack a patio cushion to keep your skin safe.
Additionally, a tarp, tent, or umbrella can help create shade and keep everyone cool. If you are planning on going in the water, shop for waterproof cushions at The Foam Factory or other furniture stores. Likewise, foldable chairs are easy to transport and easy to shake sand off of.
Fun in the Sun
As for activities you and your friends can partake in, sports are great on the beach. Go to any athletic store for a frisbee, volleyball, or football you all can toss either on the sand or in the water.
When you and your friends get hungry, a portable grill will surely come in handy. These are essential, as you can easily prepare hot dogs, hamburgers and vegetables right by your tent. Similarly, a cooler can be great for storing ice and chilled drinks to keep everyone comfortable and hydrated.
