PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN
It's obvious to have fun in the sun on your beach vacation but also important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. That's why packing the right sun protection gear is a must. From sunscreen to hats and cover-ups, there are several ways to shield yourself from the sun while still enjoying all the beach has to offer!
Sun Bum Lip Balm SPF 30 is a fantastic product to have on hand for any beach vacation. This is especially important since your lips are often one of the most sensitive areas on your body.

A beach vacation calls for extra sun protection. UPF 50+ rash guard shirts by Coolibar offer full body coverage without compromising style. They are lightweight and quick-drying, plus they come in a variety of colors and prints.

Keens Sandals are a must have for any outdoor enthusiast. Made with a lightweight rubber sole, these sandals are perfect for any terrain and provide superior cushioning for all-day comfort. The toe guard helps protect your feet from hazards like rocks and twigs, while the adjustable hook and loop strap makes it easy to get a secure fit. Plus, the unique tread pattern gives you superior traction on wet surfaces. With an antimicrobial treated footbed to help keep your feet odor-free, Keens Sandals are perfect for hikers, campers, fisherman, or anyone who loves being outdoors.

Birkenstock Sandals have been a staple in my closet for years! I love them because they have more arch support then flip flips. Birks are a great quality sandal and can last multiple seasons handling a lot of wear and tear! They're also super cute and can be styled with almost any beach outfit.
