    When going to the beach, what are the essentials that you bring? Me, these are my essentials:

    Cover up - to keep me at least warm after I got out from the water, aside also from the main function which is to cover me up
    Sunblock - we need to protect our skin from the harm of the scorching sun
    Eyeglasses - aside from the skin, we need to protect our eyes, too! Of course this is not worn when swimming, just when strolling in and around the beach
    Flip flops - to make the feet comfortable when roaming in and around the beach
    Hair Tie - to keep the hair away from the face when swimming
    Towel - for drying up

    If there is a shower facility in the beach, I also bring
    soap, shampoo, hair brush - for obvious reasons
    changing clothes - again, for obvious reasons
    plastic bag - for wet towel and wet swimsuit

    I always bring sunblock with me and a good lipbalm, mint flavor to be specific so my lips won't get burned as well. I also carry with me the usual toiletries like shampoo, conditioner and a bath soap. :)

    I bring all the sun-stuff I need: sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, etc. And then I bring my towel and my swimsuit. Everything is can wait until I get home from the beach.

    I love the beach and cannot live far from it. We bring as few items as possible, a towel and a few shovels for the kids. We apply sunblock before we go and wear our bathing suits there. I just wrap a towel around my waist and drive 10 minutes to get there. I love this time of year! :D

    On the beach I always prefer to get the sunglasses there and as it is really making me help to find the right deals over here. Sunglasses make my eyes protected from sun and it make me feel a cool atmosphere out there.

    sunblock is a must for me on beach. I can't bear my skin to be hurt by the sun.

    For me the essentials are water, sunblock, towel and bathing suit, that's it. If I am alone also a book, if I am with the kids, some toys and cookies or fruit and if the wife comes along also a beach umbrella.

    I hardly ever go to the beach but when I do, it is the type of thing that I really prepare for. I bring water and lots of it in a cooler with a ton of ice. I also bring books, sunglasses, sunblock, towels, sandals, snacks, my phone, wallet, keys, a lawn chair, my nintendo 3ds, pen and paper and a few smokes.

    In what paying concerns, I always carry snacks to the beach, fruits, cookies and bread or something similar, in that way my kids are not always asking me to buy them stuff. :)

    I always bring sunblock, Chapstick with sunblock in it, a large beach blanket, towel, snacks and bottled water, and flip flops. I also bring sunglasses, but I wear mine swimming. I never take them off in the sun! I usually bring a frisbee or volleyball. I never bring a book. Sand gets between the pages and never seems to come out.

    My family and I bring pretty much everything when we go to the beach. It all depends on how long we plan on staying. If we plan on staying for a long time, we will bring almost everything. That includes a tent, chairs, Sunblock, extra towels, extra food or money for food, toys, blankets, brushes, combs, gel.. LOL! Remember I did say everything :)
