hey hey!
beach days are lowkey our favorite part of a trip! whether you're headed to the beach club, spending the whole day by the water, or grabbing lunch with sandy hair afterward...here's our guide to the perfect beach day.
first, choose your swimsuit →
Pack options so you have plenty to choose from depending on how you feel and what’s on the itinerary. If you plan to swim or snorkle opt for a sporty bikini or one-piece. If the plan is to lounge and take cute pics, something more trendy works. We rounded up our favorite swim in our Best Swimwear of 2026 Edit.
then, pack the beach bag →
Before you head out...let's do a quick beach bag check ☀️ There's nothing worse than getting to the beach and realizing you forgot things in the room. Here are a few things that always make it into our beach bag: eye relief spray for when the sun and the sand tires them out; a cute beach hat; SPF that’s oil-free and doesn’t break you out; and shimmer oil that makes your skin glow like Edward Cullen.
last but not least →
don't forget the little things that make beach days even better. for us, that’s a portable speaker so we can keep the vibes high with a fun playlist and a screen-free digital camera so we can snap cute photos without getting our phones sandy (use code QATCH7 for 7% off!).
