Don’t skip the SPF
Yep, this one’s a no-brainer. Apply a strong SPF to protect your skin for a full day of fun in the sun. Reapply every couple of hours, or when you get out of the waves. (We like the spray-on kind so our hands don’t get sticky. Simple and fast!)

Towel off
It’s cute when your towel coordinates with your beach bag—we heart bright stripes for both. There’s no harm in stocking up on a few: You’ll need ‘em to dry off, sit on the sand, wrap up with your crush and maybe even use it to have a midday picnic.
