Nothing says summer quite like a day at the beach. Whether you're planning a relaxing weekend getaway or a spontaneous day trip, having the right beach essentials can make all the difference.

Explore the Quick Dry Travel Towels Collection at Arconiz to find a towel that dries in minutes and packs easily into your beach bag.
3. Sunscreen & Skincare
A beach trip without sunscreen is a recipe for disaster. Choose a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Don’t forget lip balm with SPF, aloe vera gel for after-sun care, and a good moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
Look for water-resistant formulas if you’re planning to swim and reapply every two hours. Your future skin will thank you.
4. A Stylish Beach Bag
You’ll need something chic yet functional to carry all your beach essentials. Opt for a spacious beach bag with pockets for organizing items like sunscreen, keys, water bottles, and snacks.
Canvas or straw bags are timeless choices, but waterproof materials offer extra practicality for beach conditions. Choose a bag that complements your towel and swimsuit for that effortlessly stylish beach look.
5. Hydration & Snacks
Hours in the sun can leave you dehydrated and hungry. Pack a large insulated water bottle to keep drinks cold and bring along some light snacks like fruit, trail mix, or granola bars.
You could also pack a small cooler if you’re planning to stay all day—fresh juice, sandwiches, or chilled fruit will keep you fueled and refreshed.
6. Beach Chair or Mat
If you’re planning to relax for a few hours, a foldable beach chair or a padded mat offers much needed comfort. Even the best beach towel can’t compete with the back support and elevation that a beach chair provides.
For a more minimalist approach, roll up your Turkish cotton towel and use it with a beach pillow or cushion. It’s all about what helps you enjoy the beach your way.
