The beach is a beautiful place where people can enjoy the feel of gentle waves lapping on your feet whilst sitting on warm, refined sand under the perfect, golden sun. It is a place to be care-free, romantic and fun. It is not the place to lug a huge, lumpy bag around and spilling the contents in the process.

Here's a list of the top 5 musthaves that every woman should bring to the beach:

1. High sun protection factor sunscreen: Sunburns are unflattering, unhealthy and very painful. Make sure that you buy the appropriate sunscreen for your skin and make sure to lather well on your beach day. Nothing kills beach vibes (and a possible date with that surfer) like sunburn.

2. Beach towels : This is another essential that you should never forget.Sure, the sun can dry you off but that's just wrong and it can make you sick. Make sure that your beach towel is there to dry you off properly. Turkish towels are the talk of the town lately, with the product being super-absorbent and hand-loomed from 100% pure organic cotton or linen. 

3.Bottled water: Under the scorching heat, chances of dehydration are very high. Especially when you're at the beach where you do a lot of activities, it is best to bring water with you to quench your thirst and replenish your energy. 

4. Cellphone case: Of course you're going to bring your phone to the beach. Aside from communication purposes, you need it to capture your tropical cocktail, the sunset or your OOTD (perfect bikini + adorable hat)! But when you're out in the waves or playing with the sand, you often neglect your phone's safety. That is why Dry Pak cellphone cases are recommended to make sure your phone is safe from the sand and the sea. 

5. Sunglasses: Your skin and your phone aren't the only things that need protection. Protect your peepers! Sunglasses help in shielding the glare from the sun. There are so many stylish sunglasses choices now, from classic wayfarers to cat eyes to oversized Jackie Os.

All these things will make your sand-sea-sun paradise trip safe and enjoyable. To top it off, they all fit into a brightly colored beach bag!
