Beach Bag Essentials

Beautiful beach towels

The Scandinavian summer has blessed us with temperatures above 20 degrees for several years in a row, and although many people head for the warm beaches of the south, a swim in the sea is always worth a try.

That's why a good towel is the first must-have in your beach bag - a towel that can withstand both salt water and beach sand and is large enough to serve as a relaxing resting place.

Summer skincare

Once the salt water has dried off your skin and you're ready to enjoy the sun's rays, it's important to care for and protect your skin as much as possible. While we all crave the perfect summer tan, sunscreen is your best friend on sunny days and we're not afraid to cheat our way to a beautiful tan in the form of self-tanner. So fill your beach bag with the best sunscreens and plenty of moisturising lotion and you'll have the most beautiful summer skin.

Bring out the sunglasses

You might already be wearing them. Maybe you have a pair in your bag. Or they might be a useful accessory in your hair. Sunglasses are the first thing we reach for as soon as the sun comes out and are therefore essential in your beach bag. And as a day at the beach can offer everything from swimming to reading, you shouldn't hesitate to bring a pair of sunglasses for every occasion.

Beachwear

If you love popping between the ocean waves, your sun spot on the towel and the local kiosk when you're spending a day at the beach, some lightweight beachwear can be a great thing to pack in your beach bag. A pair of chic flip-flops are easy to slip into and an elegant linen skirt can act as a stylish cover-up over your swimsuit or bikini. That way you can easily enjoy your beach day without having to commit to the ocean or the city.
