Sun-screen

Sunglasses are also an essential if you want to enjoy the summer cloudless cerulean blue skies without damage to your eyes.
Beach toys
If you are visiting the beach with friends and family, beach toys come in handy. Buckets and spades to flaunt your skills in building sand castles, volleyballs for a quick games and beach balls could be a great way to relax and bond after a deep. Carrying just a few, however, is best as it could be a drag after the long tiring day.
Pack garbage bags as well to pick up any litter you might otherwise leave behind as well as zip-lock bags for the wet toys and swimwear. Beach carts could also help ferry your bags to and from the car.
