What you should always take with you when you go to the beach

What are the 10 essential things to take at sea to make your day more enjoyable?

Of course you will leave with a bathing suit, blouse and shorts or even a dress the girls can choose, but these things will not be included in the list, because it is known that no one would forget them.

1-Beach bag: You mean those beautiful, colorful, big bags? Hurry to buy it, in straw or plastic. Simple, practical and above all very wide; It is ideal for holding everything you need.

2-Towel: It is the first thing to put in the bag, essential to stay under the sun and dry after a refreshing shower. Better if it is made of microfiber, because it is lighter, takes up less space and, above all, sand does not stick easily.

3-Sunscreen: You know, a day at the beach can turn into a painful nightmare of red patches if you don't use sunscreen. Choose a medium protection (15-20), but enough to tan that protects from peak sun hours.

4-Vaseline for the lips: A faithful friend of the sun cream is the vaseline of the lips. Often the beaches are warm but windy and the wind causes annoying and painful cracks. Vaseline is also a must-have to prevent cold sores from appearing on the lips.

5-Sunglasses: Glasses are essential, because they avoid the appearance of annoying dark circles and protect the retina from exposure to very strong sunlight. However, be careful not to wear them all the time because you will end up with pimples.

 6-Book: A good book, a crossword, a newspaper, a book with quizzes and riddles. Choose what suits you and take it with you; this will help you to relax in a pleasant way and pass the waiting time to get a tan and get the color you so much desire without feeling it.

 7-Drinks: Long hot hours become much more pleasant with a good cold drink during them. Avoid carbonated drinks, which do not quench thirst, and prefer fresh water, tea (especially green tea) and fruit or squeezed juices.

8-Fresh foods: Replace the usual sandwich with fresh foods, fruits and vegetables. A good cold rice with vegetables for lunch, a delicious fruit, or a fruit salad for a snack and that was it. Particularly refreshing are pineapples, watermelons and apples, which contain large amounts of water.

9-The mattress: It is a must, because it surely makes your rest softer and your baths more relaxing. The inflatable pillow is also excellent, especially for those who feel pain and discomfort while lying for hours under the sun.

10-Rockets: Especially if you are accompanied, and you have passed the age of sand castles, rockets are the best way to have fun together. They allow you to combine 'business with pleasure' and do some healthy sport while having fun.
