Beach Bag Essentials for a Florida Vacation

Planning a Florida beach getaway? Whether you're heading to Clearwater, Miami, or the Keys, packing the right beach bag can make or break your experience. With sunshine, salty air, and unexpected showers all part of the Florida charm, here's what you’ll want to bring.

Sun Protection

Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Florida’s UV index is high year-round, so pack a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection will add extra defense against the sun.

Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is key. Bring a refillable water bottle, preferably insulated, to keep drinks cold. Toss in some snacks like trail mix or fruit for quick energy.

Beach Towel

A beach towel is an absolute must, bonus points if it has a shark or sea turtle on it. Don't forget a swimsuit cover-up, which is ideal for beach walks or grabbing lunch nearby. Flip-flops are a must, but also consider water shoes if you’ll be exploring rocky areas.

Things to do

For entertainment, include a good book, Bluetooth speaker, or beach games like paddleball. A waterproof phone pouch can save your tech from accidental splashes.
