Beach Must-Haves

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNI chapter.

When you’re hitting up the beach this summer, you’re bound to forget something – at least before you read this. Here’s your checklist to make sure you have everything you need before having some fun in the sun.


Sunscreen

Is skin cancer really worth it? We didn’t think so either. Make sure to apply sunscreen before laying out and spending time in the water.

Sunglasses
Your eyes should be protected just as much as your skin.

A Hat
To keep cool, invest in a cute (and very stylish) straw hat!

A Towel
Laying out feels fabulous and laying on a soft towel instead of a pile of sand feels even better.

Some Tunes
If you’re planning on laying around for quite awhile, bring your iPod. Make yourself a fun summer playlist to listen to while you’re catching some rays.

Water Bottle
Make sure to drink a lot of water when you’re out in the head to avoid dehydration.

Have fun at the beach, ladies!
