The Ultimate Beach Trip Packing List, According to Our Water-Loving Editors
Read the original article on Purewow.
Come summer, two things are certain in my household. The first is that High School Musical 2 will be queued on the television, and the second is that I'll end up on a sandy shore. That said, a beach trip packing list is essential—even if you're just headed out for the day. Trust me. On a recent Coney Island excursion, I found myself, by day's end, monitoring two friends for heat intolerance and making a plan to organize everyone's emergency contacts and insurance cards.
Whether you're just headed out for the day, or are spending a few weeks seaside, here's a comprehensive list of essentials, spanning clothing and accessories, toiletries, sun burn treatments and beach gear you didn't know you needed. PureWow editors, including a native Floridian, have weighed in on the things they always take with them. My best tips? SPF 50+, a good umbrella and more water than you think is practical.

It might seem obvious, but after anxiously supervising two friends for mild heat stroke on a recent beach trip, I can confirm you can never have too much water. To be safe, start with at least a gallon per person, and be prepared to buy more beverages on site. (And keep everyone chugging!)
'I roll towels and stick them in [a] tote vertically to save space, pack a gallon-size ziploc with snacks at the bottom, and then throw any extras on top,' says former Floridian and PureWow Vice President of Editorial Candace Davison. 'I carry a separate mesh bag with the kids' sand toys, so the sand filters out as you walk to your car and doesn't mingle with your other essentials.'
Davison's other tip is to pack a 'wet bag.'No kid wants to go home drippy, and I can easily throw swimsuits in here and zip it closed for the ride back without getting everything else in my bag soggy.'
PureWow Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth prefers strappy sandals to flip flops on sand. After burning my own feet sliding around in the latter on a beach day, I'm inclined to agree. She swears on her Tevas, but recommends any sandal that will stay secure on your foot and protect the bottom of your feet.
Take it from the editor who's written an in-depth guide to sunscreen. Higher SPF is better. For the face, I'm personally a fan of Versed's Good Defense SPF 50, while PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint's kids finally acquiesced to sun protection after she handed them the clear Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40. As for body, Davison loves good-old-fashioned Banana Boat's SPF 50 spray sunscreen, which makes covering more surface area a quick task.
PureWow Food Editor and former competitive swimmer Taryn Pire swears on Dock & Bay. 'These are super light, compact and quick-drying. Since they aren't made of cotton and have a loopless design, they also retain less sand, so you won't make as big a mess in your car or house once you leave the beach,' she says. I also like eco brand Nomadix, which makes similar quick-drying towels that have sand falling away.
My rookie mistake at the beach was having no shade source—which is partially how two of my friends ended up with mild heat stroke. Whether you've got an umbrella, tent or other shade apparatus, trust me when I say it's a must. Davison agrees. 'A pop-up beach tent is crucial for blazing hot days. Kids can rest (or nap) inside of it, or you can bring in some sand and let them play in the shade,' she says.
You're going to be schlepping a lot, so you want a bag to match. Davison says: 'Ideally, I look for a roomy tote with at least three pockets: One for sunscreen, one for a water bottle, one for a cell phone. A key leash is a nice bonus, but a zippered interior pocket is great for holding your keys and wallet.'
On the other hand, I was prepared for my beach day with a tote, but after one minute of trudging under the blazing sun, I was kicking myself for not having brought my Hulken. Hulken, wagon, your repurposed grocery cart: Trust me, you'll be happy you brought it when the sun is blazing down and you think your shoulder is going to fall off hauling all those frozen grapes.

Virgin OnlyFans star Sophie Rain reveals how much money she's made — despite keeping her clothes on
Blinging in the Rain. Florida OnlyFans star Sophie Rain has boggled minds after revealing the eye-popping amount of money she's earned to date — and allegedly without losing her V-card or even showcasing X-rated material. Since starting her account just two years ago in July 2023, the Miami-based model has amassed a mind-boggling $80,138,033.96, which she showcased in a screenshot. 4 Rain says she plans on splashing out on her farm. Jam Press/@sophieraiin 'Making $80M is unbelievable,' Rain, 20, told Jam Press. 'It's hard to put into words how I feel about it — I'm incredibly blessed and fortunate.' The skinfluencer, who is among the top 0.01% earners on the platform, has made the lion's share of her income from her devoted fans on platforms like Instagram, where she boasts 7.4 million followers. Rain's number one fan is a man named Charley, who showered her with more than $4.7 million in 11 months, she revealed in December. This marks an incredible rags-to-riches saga for the brunette bombshell, who reportedly grew up on food stamps. 4 'It's hard to put into words how I feel about it – I'm incredibly blessed and fortunate,' said Rain while reflecting on her earnings. Jam Press/@sophieraiin 4 Rain joined OnlyFans in 2023. Jam Press/@sophieraiin Most impressively, Rain, a devout Christian who attended mass every Sunday growing up, amassed the mountain of moula while keeping things relatively safe for work. The frisky Floridian forgoes nudity in favor of 'lingerie-bikini level suggestive teasing' or even just 'random videos' of her 'walking around' and doing makeup — she leaves plenty to the imagination. 4 Rain claims she's still a virgin. Jam Press/@sophieraiin The PG porn star already knows where she plans to make it rain. 'I'm planning on adding more animals to my farm and spending time with my cows,' said Rain, who reportedly has a 20-acre spread in Tampa with two cows. This comes after the content creator announced plans to depart the 'Bop House,' the viral $60,000 a month OnlyFans mansion that she shares with cousin Aishah Sofey, 22, Camilla Araujo, 22, Alina Rose, 24, Julia Filippo, 22, Summer Iris, 19, Ava Reyes,19, and Joy Mei, 19. She chalked up her decision to rising tensions with her fellow creators at the veritable Gen Z Playboy Mansion. 'I am looking forward to spending more time there (at the farm) without the pressure of the Bop House,' declared Rain. 'There's been a lot of drama with the girls in the house, and I just don't need that in my life anymore.' She added, 'I make the most money, so I don't need to be in an environment where we aren't all getting along.' Despite her meteoric rise in the adult entertainment industry, Rain somewhat paradoxically remains a virgin, claiming she's saving herself for Mr. Right. 'Yes, I am. I'm waiting until marriage, that's why … I'm single right now,' said the OnlyFans sensation, who has even turned down offers to swipe her V-card on camera.
