The Cooler: No event is complete without a proper snack. Make sure the fruit and veggies that you bring along to the beach stay fresh and crisp until you are ready to munch! The sun and the salt will trigger your appetite, so be sure to pack a healthy snack so you can get the most out of these last days of summer!

The Koozie: You won’t be the only one sweating as you lounge in the sand and listen to the waves gently lapping the shore! Your ice-cold beer will also be dripping beads of condensation and will tricky to hold onto with your sunscreen slathered hand! Don’t be a goober, bring a koozie!

The Hat: Each of us will have to follow our heart for the perfect beach hat. The important point here is that you do need a hat for your last weekend of the summer at the beach! Whether you choose a floppy sun hat, a cool hipster baseball hat or a safari-style khaki cap, you will exert your personal style and protect the skin on your face and neck!

The Fan: Both functional and gorgeous, the fan is a throwback to ladies from the past, lounging and sweating in their full swimming costumes on the beach. Even though you can feel the breeze on your skin, it can still be handy to keep a fan in your beach bag. Extra points if you color-coordinate with your swimsuit!

The Boombox: Add some rhythm to your beach day with a set of wireless speakers. Be sure to protect your speakers from the sand (and the water!) by placing them in a bag or on a clean towel. You can always go full retro and bring a hunking boombox with a few cassettes of your favorite throwback classics!
