The carefree days of summer have at long last returned. And, as we well know, this is prime time in the Golden Isles. While there are many popular pastimes locally, there’s a one that consistently proves to be the hottest of hot spots — the beach.

From Great Dunes Park on Jekyll to the Coast Guard Beach on St. Simons, there’s no shortage of sand for those looking to take in our sweeping seaside.

But before heading out, you have to prep.

Luckily, we have some local experts who have the perfect pieces to pack in your beach bag (including the bags themselves). Read on to discover both posh and practical items that are key for a fabulous day by the sea:

The Estrada Tote — it’s a multi-functional option, perfect for tooling around town or hitting the beach.

OkaB sandals — these shoes work for wear at the pool, for the beach, or for simply lounging around the house.

Sun Bum sunscreen — we all know how important it is to protect our skin from the sun’s harsh rays. This sunscreen does the trick.

Microfiber beach towel — a quick-dry towel helps beach or boat-goers dry out.

Sunglasses and case — these polarized sunglasses can be paired with a silicone pouch to keep your peepers safe.

Teleties hair tie and clip accessories are perfect for pulling up your hair during a hot day.
