Winter is knocking on our doors and there is no time better to plan a quick weekend to one of many beach towns in India. Get ready for sunshine, waves, and sand with these 10 essentials that promise to keep your beach vibes on point. From staying sun-safe to keeping the fun alive, here’s your ultimate beach packing list! Sunscreen, SPF 50+ (and more!) Protect your skin from harsh UV rays with a broad-spectrum SPF 50+.
Look for waterproof formulas so you can dip in the ocean worry-free! You can opt for Grass’ Play Dirty, which is India’s first ultra-light airy sun protection with SPF 50+, PA++++ in a playful whipped texture that doesn’t leave that pesky white cast. And don’t forget lip balm with SPF to keep your lips sunburn-free, too. A good pick is Minimalist’s lip balm which has photostable UV filters to provide your lips all day protection from sun.
A Floppy Hat & SunglassesLook stylish while keeping the sun at bay! Pack a wide-brimmed hat for full face and neck coverage, plus a pair of polarised sunglasses for comfort and added UV protection. We love The Tinted Story, which sells sunglasses with built-in UV-A and UV-B ray protection along with blue light filters and polarised lenses. Their stuff is not only stylish but also prioritises eye care! Plus, they also have a 30-day return policy so no stress needed! Beach Towel & Blanket Whether for lounging or drying off, a lightweight, quick-dry beach towel is a must-have.
Also, toss in a large beach blanket—perf.
