Summer is here, and we know you are excited as we are to get out there and enjoy the beaches. Unfortunately, there are some things about that beach that can become a bit of an inconvenience on your trip. 

Hot or rough sand riddles with little pieces of shells, the ever-present danger of your stuff getting completely soaked with ocean water, or even the threat of getting a sunburn or exposing yourself to UV light damage. 

In the grand scheme of things, these are all minor inconveniences, but they are inconveniences that can be avoided with the right products. So, we found 3 products that will help minimize those annoyances so you could focus on only the fun parts.

1. Beach Socks

These are probably one of the best-kept secrets of frequent beachgoers. We’ve all been in a situation where we found ourselves trekking through a long stretch of hot sand without any foot protection.

Maybe that sand even had a ton of those tiny little shell fragments that dig into your foot as you pushed through the coast.

If only there was an extra layer you could throw on your feet that would protect you from those shells… maybe something that had anti-chafe seams and heat-resistant material? If it was made from stretchy material that would stay on your feet despite the push and pull of the ocean, it’d be a perfect product right?

This is exactly why we developed our SeaSnug Beach Socks; because they are the perfect product for the beach bums and explorers alike. They come in both ankle and tall designs and a ton of different styles to let you pick the perfect pair for your outfit.

If you are playing volleyball on a hot summer day or are spending your time going back and forth from the ocean waves, these socks will keep your feet comfortable all day long.

2. Waterproof Bag

Whenever you take a trip anywhere that has a body of water, it’s almost tradition to get something wet that just wasn’t supposed to. Whether it’s your “dry” clothes, a phone, towels, or food, we’ve all been in that unfortunate situation. 

It really tends to put a damper on the mood. So, what do we recommend? Easy, a waterproof dry bag. Specifically, our 20L Seafarer waterproof dry bag. 

Why do we recommend this bag? Well, we built it, so we know that it was designed to give you the best possible experience when you are out adventuring. Its material is completely waterproof, and it comes with two adjustable 1.5-inch nylon straps so you can carry it with you wherever you go. 

It measures about 24 inches tall and a little over 9 inches wide when you lay it flat, which means you can fit everything from a massive beach towel to your phone and valuables without worrying about them getting exposed to water.

If you aren’t looking to strap it onto your back, it can be carried by the straps at your side just as easily. The Seafarer dry bag comes in five unique colors to fit your travel aesthetic and is one of the most affordable options on the market. 

3. Rash Guard Shirt

Where the water is, the sun is likely to follow. And if you’ve ever made the mistake of skipping sunscreen or protective clothing, you know just how bad of a time you can have when you forget to prepare for a long day in the sun.

Our Trekker Rash Guard is the perfect choice when it comes to combating UV light. The rash guard’s material not only blocks the sun’s harmful rays, but it can also keep you protected from hazards like fire coral and jellyfish.

This product also comes in both long- and short-sleeve options, which means you can choose the appropriate amount of coverage for the occasion. Heading to a casual pool party or beach day? The short sleeve will probably do the job. Spending the entire day running back and forth between the water? Opt for the more protective long sleeve option.

Once you’ve addressed all the small annoyances that can curb the fun of a beach day, all that’s left to do is enjoy your time oceanside. And with these three products, enjoying your time will be easier than ever before.
