Best Beach Gift Ideas
1. Beach Towel
Of course, she will need a beach towel for her beach adventure.
I love oversized towels. They are so nice to sit/lay on and they are fantastic to wrap up in coming out of the water.
2. Sunscreen
Help her protect her skin from the sun.
I have been obsessed with this spray sunscreen for years now. It is so easy to apply and my kids and I have not gotten burned once.
3. Lip Balm
And don’t forget about her lips. They can get sunburn too.
4. Aloe Vera Gel
Get her a bottle of aloe vera in case she forgets to apply or reapply her sunscreen.
Sunburn is no joke and this stuff works to cool it down. Put a note on it for her to store in her refrigerator at home or in her cooler at the beach. It will give her the most cooling relief.
5. Lotion
Every woman needs a good travel lotion.
I swear by Aveeno fragrance-free lotion and have these travel-sized bottles stashed everywhere.
6. Bug Repellant
Depending on which beach she is going to, there may be bugs – get her bug repellant!
7. Water Bottle
Hook your girl up with a large Hydro Flask or Stanley water bottle and you know she will have cold water the entire time she is soaking up the sun.
They are both rockstar water bottles.
8. Can Cooler
BruMate makes can coolers that everyone needs. They keep drinks cold until the last drop even on the hottest days. I have tested this to be true!
There are skinny can coolers, regular can coolers, and bottle can coolers in a variety of colors.
9. Cooler
This soft-sided cooler is dynamite. It is big enough to hold food and drinks for my family of 6 with room to spare.
It easily wipes clean and folds fairly compactly for storage. You will want this cooler too!
10. Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a huge must-have at the beach but sometimes you just don’t want to take your expensive ones. They could get scratched.
Help your girl out with these retro fun sunglasses. They fit everyone and she will have fun wearing them.
11. Hair Clip/Hair Ties
It is always good to have extra hair supplies at the beach. It never fails that they break when you don’t have a replacement.
These hair clips and these hair ties are so good.
If you are feeling extra, toss in bobby pins. There always seems to be a breeze at the beach.
12. Flip Flops
These flip-flops will keep her feet from burning on the hot sand.
They are so comfortable.
13. Beach Bag
Every woman needs this canvas beach bag.
Girl, it is big. I have it and can carry everything we need for a family of 6 with room to spare.
14. Reading Material
Every woman needs something good to read at the beach whether that is a magazine or a book.
Do you have any good book recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments below because I am always looking for a good page-turner. However, thrillers and scary ones are just not for me.
15. Portable Speaker
Music is always fun at the beach and this small Bluetooth speaker is so great. It is waterproof, dustproof, and can clip onto a bag.
She can keep music rocking for 10 hours with this little baby.
16. Umbrella
This compact umbrella will give her some shade if the sun gets to be too much. Since it is so small, it will fit in her bag easily.
17. Beach Blanket
I know she can easily lay on her beach towel but this extra-large beach blanket is so good. The sand shakes right off of it, it is quick-drying, and it comes with stakes.
Oh yeah, there is also a little bag for it.
18. Beach Chair
This low and light chair is essential for the beach. It is so comfortable and even has a cup holder.
19. Nail Polish
Every woman wants to have polish on her toes when she goes to the beach.
Essie has so many fun colors to choose from. I love that classic red! Don’t forget a clear top coat.
I always use the clear gel top coat and dry it with a hair dryer. Man, that makes my colored polish last for so long!
20. Beach Hat
Help her keep the sun off her face with a beach hat or baseball hat.
I love this baseball hat because you can wear your hair up high or down low with it.
21. Waterproof Playing Cards
You never know when playing cards will come in handy and waterproof playing cards are essential for the beach.
Girl, I carry playing cards everywhere (even though I am not the biggest card player). They are a great way to keep my kids entertained screen-free.
22. Portable Mini Fan
Being at the beach usually means there will be some heat. Help her keep cool with this cute portable fan.
It is also a flashlight and a backup power bank.
23. Beach Cover Up
This beach wrap is perfect for her when she wants to add some coverage to her bottom but she doesn’t want to wear shorts.
24. Snacks
I can guarantee she will get hungry at the beach. Add a few snacks that can withstand a little heat.
25. Hand Wipes
These hand wipes are great at making your hands clean and germ-free.
I have these stashed everywhere – in my bag, in all our vehicles, and I put them in every cooler we load.
