I am so glad it's March. The weather this past week was beautifully sunny and abnormally warm and it got me thinking about the beach! Last summer I bought a really cute beach chair but only got to use it maybe once or twice that whole season so I'm definitely going to prioritize going to the beach this year. Plus I think it's the perfect outdoor activity where we can safely ride out the (hopeful) end of covid-19 but still do something fun. For today's post I wanted to share just a few of my beach faves with you in case you have an upcoming beach escape planned.

1. The perfect beach tote. This is the Monstera Day Tripper tote from the brand Aloha and the pattern is "dawn" which is so pretty. I also love the Day Palms Day Tripper in Pool (which is reversible). You can't go wrong with a large roomy beach tote to fill with all your essentials!
2. I can't think of any footwear to wear the beach other than sandals. And I am loving these simple raffia sandals from DSW. I'm also a huge fan of Jack Rogers sandals but they can be so expensive (totally worth the splurge though if you are thinking about investing in a pair).
3. I am never caught without a water bottle because I try to make sure I intake a lot of water each day. So naturally I can't go to the beach without my water bottle! I also love my contigo water bottle for the beach because it will keep your water SO cold for SO long. And if you want something where you can stow a key or cash--who is going to think to steal a water bottle while you're in the ocean or away from your chair? I just bought this one and I can't wait to try it out.
4. Bathing suits of course! I've been loving the leopard print fad but it makes me sad because I don't want it to end. I always treated leopard print as a neutral that was fun to mix in but now I'm afraid the leopard stuff will look dated!
5. Sunscreen. Do you check the ingredients in your sunscreen? It's insane! I read an article recently about chemical versus mineral sunscreens and will be switching all my sunscreens asap! It's also incredible to read about all the issues sunscreen is causing coral reefs.
6. SNACKS! Of course! My favorites right now are either Cape Cod Chips or Skinny Pop Popcorn.
7. I am obsessed with my Beach chair that I bought last year from Tommy Bahama. If you don't want to bring a beach tote this chair has two back pockets (one is a cooler!) that you can stow your items in. I'm all for anything that lightens my load.
Do you prefer the sand or the water?
What's your favorite beach must-have?
