Top 4 Beach Essentials For a Vacation

Headed to the beach? Be sure to check out our top four beach essentials to ensure that you are packing everything you need for the ultimate, relaxing beach getaway. The best part about this list is that it can save you money! It will prevent you from having to make unnecessary purchases at the beach.

Beach Vacation Essentials

Water Bottle:

Staying hydrated at the beach is an absolute must. Sitting out in the sun for hours on end without water will leave you feeling dehydrated and may even lead to sunstroke. We love swell water bottles! They are made of stainless steel and keep your water cold for hours.

A Good Book:

Nothing says relaxation quite like the sound of waves crashing against the shore while you are reading a good book. Not sure what to read? Check out the New York Times. They have categorized lists of all of their best-sellers.

Water Toys:

Cooling down on the beach is easy when you bring water toys. We love to bring inflatable floaties. When the heat gets to be too much you can just jump in the water. Urban Outfitters has a great selection of floaties. Be sure to check them out before your next beach trip! Be sure to check out Canadian Tire as they always have great sales.

Sunscreen:

Practicing safe skincare at the beach is absolutely essential. Getting sunburns can not only be very uncomfortable, but it can also lead to other health issues. Severe sunburns can lead to heatstroke. In extreme cases, having sunburns repeatedly over years can even lead to skin cancer. Be sure to apply sunscreen before your trip to the beach and then as instructed on the bottle. Check out this guide to find the best sunscreen for your needs.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
