After many summers of going to different beaches up and down North and South Carolina, I think I've finally mastered the perfectly-packed beach bag!
For years, I've packed way too much or two little, but this year, I've got my perfect pool/beach bag down to a science, and thought you'd like to see it as well! Keep in mind, I didn't take all of this to the beach at the same time, but switched out items as I needed them!
The Bag:
I'm using a Lilly Pulitzer insulated tote bag in the Chiquita Bonita print that I got for Valentine's Day! It's meant to keep things hot or cold, but holds all your beach essentials perfectly. It has two handles, one outside pocket, insulated material on the inside and a came with a cute pink wine opener on the handle.

Cups/Koozies:
For this trip, I packed a couple different items to use for drinks on the beach: koozies to keep things cold, two fun tumblers, a Lilly wine glass and a full-size wine opener. You never know what you're going to need!

Hats:
I despise sunburn, so having a hat for beach days is a necessity! This year, I brought two different hats to match each of my bathing suits.

Beach Reading:
The beach is my absolute favorite place to read because of the sun, sand and that fabulous breeze! This year, I brought along two books that I've been trying to find time to read.

Swim Suits:
A beach trip isn't complete without a great bathing suit, which is why I brought three! I also made sure to pack sunscreen and my favorite chapstick for the week.
This back ruffle two-piece is from Old Navy earlier this year, and is so fun & comfortable. Now, I wish I'd ordered it in a few colors!

Catch-All:
For all of those items that I don't want rolling around in the bottom of the bag, I packed this LaRoque Lobster catch-all bag! This is what I use for my phone, sunglasses, hair bows, etc.

On my way out the door, I make sure to grab a beach towel and my chair, and I'm ready to go!

My beach bas is very similar! I am lacking a wine opener but make up for that with the wide variety of sun creen I have. I am so particular about SPF's .. I put something different on my face, shoulders, arms, and legs. I hope you're having fun!
I'm on the hunt for that ruffle bikini from Old Navy! Have so much fun at the beach, I'm super jealous!
