About this list:
This is for us people who really enjoy laying by water, be it a beach, a pool, or a manmade lake (shoutout Mission Viejo!). I selected all of the best of the essentials for any day trip to the shores. Get these products and you'll have even more of a reason to play hooky and go lay out.

Evian Mineral Water Misters
First to recommend
Description
A true gift from the Evian gods. Nothing feels better while sunbathing than the cool mist from this small can. Spray the nozzle on top and experience a light, refreshing mist all over your sun kissed skin.

Ocean Potion Sunblock Lotion
2 people recommended this item
Description
The BEST sunblock around. I use it on my body and my face. Non-comodogenic and non-greasy so you won't break out at all. It smells really good, too, and is waterproof. Comes in SPF 15, 30, 50, and the company (based out of Australia) makes other great sun protection products as well. A must have for any outdoor trip.

Large Beach Towel
3 people recommended this item
Description
I like my towels like I like my slice of veggie pizza. The bigger, the better. More towel space means more room to lay around, more warmth once out of the water, and it makes you feel like a little kid again. A must have for any avid beach or pool-goer. Just don't let your friends steal it.

Stone Harbor Tote
First to recommend
Description
Perfect tote for your summer needs. A zippered pocket is a MUST for any beach bag, because you don't want sand getting anywhere near your cell phone, iPod, or chapstick. Roomy enough to fit a book, sandwich, soda, and anything else you want to slug to the beach.

"Mada" Retro Aviator Sunglasses
2 people recommended this item
Description
Big face-covering sunglasses are an essential for me. Tortoise shell is less harsh on the skin than black frames, so I love these! I have a pair pretty similar and they help make me look like I'm awake and refreshed, even when underneath I'm far from it. Not to mention they provide great protection from glare and prevent any crow's feet from forming. Yay! Just try not to get too much of an aviator tan.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
4 people recommended this item
Description
A good read is always a must for the beach. This is best read I have ever found. Tolle's book changes the way you think, but slowly and sensibly. There is no hounding here. Just an awe-inspiring awakening to a way of seeing the world that makes so much sense but you may have never thought of before. Want to change your life? Read it. You'll thank me later.

Laurel Straw Hat
First to recommend
Description
Perfect for keeping the sun off of your oh-so-sensitive face and also adds a touch of mystery for anyone checking you out. I love wide brimmed hats because you can be in the sun all day without feeling exhausted because you head and neck are protected. And, they're fun to wear.

Eco Lips Organic Lip Balm SPF 30
First to recommend
Description
This all-natural and all-organic lip balm is my favorite. Sunburned lips are the worst and stick around for days, so chapstick with a high SPF is a must have anytime you are outside. This lip balm is all organic so you won't be eating any nasty chemicals - which means you can reapply all you like! Tastes great too.

MAKE LOVE...in the sand Sandals

Description
These are so fun! Take a stroll down the beach and spread your message of love at the same time! Leave a lasting impression on any coastline. Fun gift and great for vacation!

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
12 people recommended this item
Description
Out of all of the tanning lotions, I like this one the best. Smells great, the tan is gradual (it works), and its dirt cheap. Pick it up at any drugstore, grocery store, or online and you will have a tan in no time without the harmful rays from the sun.
