From Portable Chairs to Umbrellas, the Best Beach Accessories to Pack

Read this before your next trip to the sandy shores.

Though an ocean view is calming and the sound of waves crashing is therapeutic, you’ll still need a few other beach accessories to make the experience a peaceful one. For example, lounging on a sandy shore becomes all the more heavenly when you’re lying on top of a plush towel or a luxe beach chair. And while sunscreen can help protect your skin from those beaming rays, a nautical umbrella or pretty beach hat will amplify the coverage and look adorable in beachside photos. After all, there’s no need for functionality and style to be mutually exclusive—even when relaxing on the beach.

So before your next trip to the coast, we’ve gathered the best beach accessories. From the chic maritime findings at Serena & Lily to the runway-worthy pieces in Loewe’s Paulas Ibiza collection, ahead, you’ll discover all of the practical and stylish essentials to make your excursion a delight.
