This speaker is easy to clip on your beach bag, waterproof, durable, and will play for up to 10 hours.

Seriously, it is a game changer. It goes on so smoothly and makes your face even toned. I even wear it instead of makeup on some days.

7. Mesh Beach Bag
A mesh beach bag is perfect for throwing in your towels, water bottle, sunscreen, etc.
The best part about having a mesh bag is that your wet beach towels can dry out better than a regular beach bag!
8. Sun Bum Leave-In Conditioner
After I learned how damaging salt water can be on your hair, I knew that my hair needed extra protection before swimming in the ocean.
Spray leave-in conditioner in your hair before swimming in the ocean so your hair can absorb the conditioner instead of the salt water.
