With summer right around the corner, you’ll want to bring the essentials for your beach vacation.Spending your days relaxing and basking in the sun is a summertime dream. You can do just that when staying with Sands Resorts! Plus, your Myrtle Beach Hotel and Spa wouldn’t be the same without these must-have items. So grab your floaties, pack your bags, and get off on a much-needed ocean getaway.

Beach Clothing Musts

The most important part of any beach trip is what you’re going to wear! You’ll want to pack more than one swimsuit if you’re planning on spending a few days with us. We have more than just the ocean at our back door. With water park access and in walking distance of the beach, you’ll have lots of opportunities to hit the warm, refreshing water. When packing swimwear, bring suits that you can mix and match. Versatile clothing is also necessary, so suits with neutral colors or patterns you can switch up will you more options. Beachwear also includes cover-ups, sandals, flip flops, or shoes, and hats. You may even want to bring an extra set of clothing to the beach in case you end up going somewhere else such as Ocean Annie’s Beach Bar or another beachside restaurant, after!

While it’s important to bring swimwear, you can get that here in Myrtle Beach if you left it at home. Another item you’ll want to have are your skincare essentials for the beach. Sunscreen and Aloe Vera are two topical creams or gel that help protect your skin from the harsh UVA and UVB rays. If you’re not a fan of Aloe Vera, you might want to try some after sun lotions, many of them have delicious coconut scents. Especially if you’re going to stay all day in the sun, grab a travel size and toss it in your bag, as re-applying is needed.

Don’t Forget!

You won’t want to forget your sunglasses on this trip. Just like your skin needing protection, so do your eyes! With the sun bouncing off the water, sunglasses help especially ones with UVA/UVB protection. Polarized glasses help retract the reflection of the sun’s rays and minimize them. It’s a great option if you’re going to be in the beach water for awhile. You may also want to contemplate bringing a cheaper sunglass. Designer brands tend to be expensive and less costly versions mean that you don’t have to worry about losing them.

Finally, you won’t want to forget your entertainment! Whether that includes sports equipment like frisbees, footballs, and volleyballs, a speaker to play your favorite music, or a book. Keeping your friends or the family busy will ensure your beach day is one to remember.

If you do happen to forget anything while staying with us, don’t worry, we have two convenience stores and a beachwear gift shop all on our property, which means Sands Resort has you covered!
