Once you've got the look down, it's time to pack your beach bag for your day. As year-round beach bums, we feel we have the ultimate list of must haves (trashy tabloid mags excluded!).

Wide brimmed hat that is chic and keeps the sun off your face.
Reusable water bottle to help you stay hydrated all day.
Large beach towel in a fun pattern, finding one that can fit two people is ideal. Sharing is caring!
Small cosmetics bag to organize small items such as lip balm with SPF, a small hair brush, and sunscreen. We also like to include a couple snack-sized Ziploc baggies to protect items like cash, cell phones, and iPods from getting wet.
Happy Summer!!
