What to pack in your beach bag

Summer is here, and it’s time to hit the beach! But before you head out the door, it’s important to be prepared. In this chapter, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get ready for a day at the beach.

Section 1: Preparing for a day at the beach

Choosing the right beach location for you and your family
What to consider when planning your day at the beach, including the weather, tides, and crowd levels
How to stay safe at the beach, including tips for swimming in the ocean and dealing with rip currents

Choosing the right beach location for you and your family:

Accessibility: Choose a beach that is easily accessible and doesn’t require a lot of travel time, especially if you have young children or elderly family members.

Amenities: Look for a beach that has amenities like restrooms, showers, and changing rooms. This will make your day at the beach more comfortable and convenient.

Activities: Consider the activities available at the beach, such as snorkeling, surfing, or paddleboarding. If you’re traveling with children, look for a beach with a playground or other kid-friendly activities.

Safety: Make sure the beach you choose is safe for swimming and other water activities. Check for warning signs, lifeguards, and safety equipment like buoys and rescue boards.

What to consider when planning your day at the beach:

Weather: Check the weather forecast before you head to the beach. Avoid going on days when there is a high chance of thunderstorms or heavy rainfall. Also, remember to bring sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.

Tides: Be aware of the tide schedule, as high tide can make it difficult to swim or access certain parts of the beach. Low tide, on the other hand, can expose dangerous rocks and rip currents.

Crowds: If you prefer a quieter beach experience, avoid going on weekends or holidays when the beach is likely to be crowded. Alternatively, if you enjoy the energy of a busy beach, plan accordingly.

How to stay safe at the beach:

Swim near a lifeguard: Whenever possible, swim in areas that are supervised by a lifeguard. They can help you avoid hazards like rip currents and quickly respond in case of an emergency.

Be aware of rip currents: Rip currents are strong, fast-moving channels of water that can pull you away from shore. If you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of it, then swim back to shore.

Stay hydrated: It’s easy to get dehydrated at the beach, especially on hot days. Bring plenty of water and drink it regularly to stay hydrated.

Protect your skin: Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and reapply it every two hours or more often if you’re swimming or sweating. Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes from the sun.

Snacks: Pack some light and healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, or granola bars to keep your energy levels up.
Towel: Bring a towel or two to dry off after a swim or to lay on while soaking up some sun.
Swimsuit: Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit to take a dip in the water.

Use a large beach bag or backpack to hold all of your items.
Roll your towels and clothing instead of folding them to save space.
Pack items in order of importance, with the most important items at the top of your bag.

Use ziplock bags to organize your snacks and sunscreen.
Consider bringing items that have multiple uses, such as a sarong that can be used as a towel, a cover-up, or a makeshift beach blanket.

When it comes to swimwear, finding the right fit can be a challenge.

Here are some tips on different swimwear styles for different body types:

Pear-shaped: If you have a pear-shaped figure, with wider hips and a smaller bust, consider a swimsuit with a high-cut leg to elongate your legs and balance out your proportions. You can also opt for a bikini with a pattern or bright color on top to draw attention to your upper body.

Apple-shaped: If you have an apple-shaped figure, with a larger midsection and slimmer legs, consider a one-piece swimsuit with ruching or shirring to camouflage your tummy. A halter top or V-neckline can draw attention to your upper body, while a darker color can create a slimming effect.

Hourglass-shaped: If you have an hourglass-shaped figure, with a defined waist and balanced bust and hips, consider a swimsuit that accentuates your curves. A high-waisted bikini or one-piece swimsuit can highlight your waist, while a plunging neckline can showcase your décolletage.

Tips for accentuating your best features and minimizing any areas you’re self-conscious about:

Highlight your best features: Choose swimwear styles that accentuate your favorite features, such as a halter top to showcase your shoulders or a bikini with ruffles to enhance your bust.

Minimize areas you’re self-conscious about: If you’re self-conscious about your midsection, consider a one-piece swimsuit with ruching or shirring. If you’re uncomfortable showing too much skin, consider a tankini or a swimsuit with a high neckline.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match: You can mix and match tops and bottoms to create a customized look that flatters your body type. For example, you can pair a high-waisted bikini bottom with a crop top for a trendy and flattering look.

The importance of trying on swimwear before buying to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit:

Swimwear can fit differently depending on the brand, style, and fabric, so it’s important to try on different sizes and styles before making a purchase. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance from a sales associate, and be honest with yourself about how the swimsuit looks and feels on your body. You want to feel comfortable and confident in your swimwear, so take the time to find the right fit.

Determine your skin’s undertones: Your skin can have cool, warm, or neutral undertones. To determine your skin’s undertones, look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue, you have cool undertones. If they appear green, you have warm undertones. If you can’t tell, you likely have neutral undertones.

Choose colors that complement your skin tone: If you have cool undertones, consider colors like blues, greens, purples, and pinks. If you have warm undertones, consider colors like oranges, yellows, reds, and browns. If you have neutral undertones, you can wear a wide range of colors.

Consider patterns that flatter your body type: If you have a curvy figure, consider patterns like florals, polka dots, and animal prints. If you have a straight figure, consider patterns like stripes, geometric shapes, and abstract designs. If you’re unsure, choose a pattern that you love and feel confident in.

Mix and match swimwear separates: You can create a customized look by mixing and matching different swimwear separates. For example, you can pair a patterned top with solid-colored bottoms or vice versa. This allows you to play with different colors and patterns while still finding what flatters your skin tone.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose swimwear that makes you feel comfortable and confident. By understanding your skin tone and using these tips to choose the right colors and patterns, you can find swimwear that highlights your best features and helps you look and feel your best.
