Beaches are at the top of our list when we want to relax… however, it can take a lot of planning and organization to pack for the perfect beach day. But with our list of beach necessities, you can have a stress-free day in the sun and enjoy your day splashing in the waves and soaking up the rays!

This round straw handbag is THE purse of summer 2018. Effortlessly chic and super trendy, this bag will add a touch of style to any look. You can find the classic natural straw coloured bags everywhere this season, but we think the black colour from Hudson's Bay is SO unique! The best part? It can fit all your beach essentials including sunscreen, sunglasses and even a beach towel.

What's the key to beautiful skin? Protecting it. Merle Norman's Ultra Light Sunscreen features SPF 50 to keep your skin protected and healthy all day long! Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, decrease the risk of skin cancer and premature signs of ageing caused by the sun so it is a MUST! No need to worry about this sunscreen leaving a white residue, its ultra-silky formula blends flawlessly with your skin!

Help shield the sun with the help of a beautiful sun hat! Luckily for us, there are so many styles and shapes to choose from this year. We say go big or go home when talking about brim size... a larger brim helps to protect the sun's UV rays AND will make you feel instantly glamorous!

Lightweight and breezy clothing is perfect to take you from brunch to the beach! Stay away from fitted, clingy clothing in an effort to stay cool and comfortable in this heat. These fabulous palazzo pants from Urban Planet might FEEL like pyjamas but they look sophisticated in this trendy, two-piece set.

Sunglasses are one of the BEST accessories for summer! Dynamite has a great selection... there's something to compliment everyone's personal style and face shape. We LOVE a good pair of oversized sunglasses - perfect for care-free, no makeup days at the beach (but we'd be lying if we said we didn't have a different pair for each day of the week!). What's your go-to look?

Don't forget snacks! We don't want to get stuck feeling hangry while enjoying our day in the sun. Check out Stokes where you can find the perfect picnic basket and other lunch essentials for packing up food on the go!
