What's in my Beach Bag!

I am leaving for California this week, and I will be spending a lot of time at the beach, aka my home away from home. If you know me, you know I'm not a light packer, and the same is true for the beach. I like to be prepared so today I thought I'd share what I keep in my beach bag.

Beach Bag
I thought the Lilly ones were really cute but they are pretty expensive and I didn't want to ruin it with sand and water, so I got a coral chevron one from Target that I think will work perfectly.

Lilly Tumbler
A beach trip is not complete without my Lilly Tumbler, especially since I need to stay hydrated all day! (Does anyone else automatically drink more water if it's in one of these? I can't be alone!)

Sparkling Ice
I absolutely love the coconut pineapple. It is so refreshing and tastes so good! 

Jandals (Pali Hawaii Sandals)
These are my comfiest shoes and I don't have to worry about ruining them, because they are only ten dollars!

Cosmetic Bag
I keep some hair ties, chapstick, band-aids, and mustard packets(they help with jellyfish stings) in here.

Sunscreen
Enough said. I am fortunate enough to tan instead of burning, except for those cheeks of mine that always get tomato red no matter how much sunscreen I put on.

Towel
I have these cute chevron anchor towels that I absolutely love.

A Good Book
Right now, I am loving anything by Sarah Dessen and Lauren Conrad, and I plan to bring Saint Anything and L.A. Candy with me.

Headphones/iPod
While I'm reading, I just like to sit back and block out the noise with a good song or two.


I hope y'all enjoyed reading this and it gave you some ideas on what to the bring for the beach! Comment where you're going and what your beach bag essentials are.
