Have you been wanting to take a trip to the beach for a long time, but you don't know how to organize yourself and what to bring with you? This article should help you.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Prepare for Your Beach Trip
Step 1. Before going to the beach you may want to lighten your hair a little, buy a new swimsuit, a new pair of flip flops, and acquire a light tan to look your best
Step 2. Determine how many things you intend to take with you to the beach
This way you can choose a bag of the appropriate size; you don't want to carry a bulky, half-empty bag, just as you don't want to not know where to put your things because you have chosen one that is too small. In the shops you can buy beach bags even at very low prices.
Step 3. Choose the clothes you will wear and bring an extra set of clothes with you
Don't forget a colorful swimsuit and a pair of comfortable beach shorts. You may want to leave the change of clothes in your car. Some beaches have comfortable changing rooms where you can change, shower, and lock your belongings in a secure locker. Clothes left in the car will avoid coming into contact with the sand. Flip flops and slippers are ideal for walking to the sea, but when you get to the beach, take them off to avoid bothering others with the sand. If you want to take a walk on the water's edge, go barefoot so as not to splash people next to you.
Step 4. Always use sunscreen
Protect your lips with a lip balm with a protective solar factor, they will not burn and will not crack. Apply a sunscreen to your skin to protect it from the sun's rays. Don't forget the umbrella and bury its tip in the sand carefully to prevent it from flying away. On many beaches, comfortable umbrellas and sun loungers are available for a fee. Sunglasses are very useful if you don't like the sun in your eyes.
Step 5. Bring a beach chair or deck chair with you if you don't want to sit on the sand
Alternatively use a towel, in this case remember to shake them away from other bathers.
Step 6. Bring lunch or a snack with you, and some distractions to keep you busy
If you want to listen to music, use headphones so as not to disturb the neighbors. If you wish, prepare a cooler in which to store cool drinks. A whole day in the sun could dehydrate you excessively if you don't drink enough water.
