15 Useful Things To Buy From Amazon Before Your Beach Vacation

Packable Sun Hat

A wide-brimmed sun hat protects your face and neck from UV rays while still looking cute in photos. Choose one that folds flat in your suitcase without losing its shape, especially helpful if you’re hopping between destinations. It’s one of the best Amazon finds for beach travel.

This is chic and stylish if you are looking for a foldable sun hat . This is perfect if you are looking for a packable sun hat that fold up really small.

Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Protect your skin and marine life with a sunscreen that avoids harmful ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate. Look for TSA-friendly sizes that fit in your carry-on. A beach Amazon packing list isn’t complete without it.

This reef-care sunscreen is some of the best on the market.

Waterproof Phone Pouch

While we could all do with probably leaving our phones locked in our room when on the beach, we still want to capture the memories. A waterproof phone porch or case will ensure you can go paddleboarding, kayaking, or sunbathing without worrying if you phone will get damaged.

Some let you use the touchscreen through the case, so you can snap beach selfies without worry. A must-have travel gear for beach lovers.

These waterproof pouches have great reviews and seem to be some of the bets on the market.

Sand-Free Beach Towel

I’m always a little suspicious when something says it’s sand free. However after using one I can say that the amount of sand you bring home form the beach with you is sufficiently decreased.

The good ones are quick-drying, compact, and perfect for travel. Microfiber towels shake off sand easily and pack down smaller than traditional beach towels, making them a must have item.

Add one to your list of Amazon must-haves for beach vacation.

Eccosophy Microfiber Beach Towels seem to have really good reviews and come in funky colors.

Portable Cooler Bag

A portable cooler bag will keep snacks, drinks, and fruit cold while you relax in the sun. Look for foldable, soft-sided options with shoulder straps and waterproof lining for added convenience.

This insulated lunch bag is one of the top beach travel accessories Amazon shoppers love.

Collapsible Beach Bag or Tote

I don’t know about you but after a day at the beach I can never seem to fit all the items I took back into the bags I transported them there in. For this reason I always take a foldable beach tote with me.

I find they are spacious enough for towels, sunscreen, water bottles, and more. Some options include interior waterproof pockets or zippered compartments to keep valuables secure. They are perfect for any beach Amazon packing list.

I love this foldable beach bag and it comes in so many fun designs. this is one of the things to buy from Amazon before your beach vacation.

Flip-Flops or Water Shoes

I have to admit that I’m not a flip flop girlie they just hurt my feet. Water shoes tend to also not be my thing. A neutral pair of crocs are in my opinion very appropriate beach footwear but I know they are not for everyone.

Sturdy flip flops or quick-dry water shoes can help with stony and rocky beaches or where there are long walks to the beach. Make sure they are lightweight and easy to rinse and practical.

A smart item on the list of what to pack for a beach trip from Amazon you will thank me for lately.

These are great if you love flip-flops, these water shoes also do the job. And for all my croc sandal girlies these will work well.

Travel-Size Aloe Vera Gel

Don’t forget this one you will probably need it.

Even with SPF, sun-kissed skin needs TLC. A travel-sized tube of aloe vera can make you feel wonderful after long beach days. Choose a formula with no added fragrance or alcohol. This is one of those Amazon beach vacation essentials you’ll be glad you packed.

This aloe vera gel has great reviews.

Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker

Ok, a little caveat before I give you this one, Please don’t be one of those people who plays loud music on a beach while others are trying to relax.

However if it is that kind of beach or you are somewhere more private this will come in handy. A Bluetooth speaker is perfect for playing your favorite tunes while lounging around.

Many are compact, wireless, and resistant to sand and water. Clip-on speakers are great for backpacks or umbrella poles. One of the best Amazon finds for beach travel if you can’t do without your tunes.

This Bluetooth speaker has great reviews.

Portable Fan or Cooling Towel

This is one of the things I always forget and only remember when I’m sitting on the beach sweltering.

It seems that mini fans come in all kinds of forms now even ones you can wear around your neck. I find them perfect for the humid Floridan weather. cooling towels are also an option if you don’t want to have a fan.

Travel gear for beach days doesn’t get much better. This neck fan is a great buy. These cooling towels are best sellers.

E-Reader or Waterproof Book Sleeve

Let’s face it the beach is made for reading but you will want to protect your reading material from splashes and spills. No one like a soggy book.

These covers will allow you to enjoy y-our read without worrying what will happen to your book or kindle.

Another essential item in your Amazon beach vacation packing list.

This kindle cover will work perfectly, this waterproof book cover is cute and I love this reading cover.

Swimsuit Cover-Up

Nothing beats a good swimsuit cover up. I love the kimono types as I find them stylish, breathable, and easy to throw on. Pack one that dries quickly and layers well.

This is one of the most practical Amazon must-haves for beach vacation days.

There are so many on amazon but I like this swimsuit cover up as it isn’t open at the front and you could style it.

Waterproof Playing Cards or Games

Lets face it while sunbathing is great some need to be occupied a little more.

Taking some waterproof cards or games is a great idea especially if you have children. . Many come in compact travel cases and hold up well in sandy, wet environments.

One of the fun Amazon beach vacation essentials.

These waterproof playing cards and really popular.

Lightweight Packable Hammock

Ok this isn’t going to work for every location but if you are going somewhere with palm trees or other anchors, a hammock adds next-level chill to your beach day.

Look for one with tree-safe straps and quick-drying fabric. A relaxing addition to your list of what to pack for a beach trip from Amazon.

This packable hammock has great reviews.

Sand Proof Water Bottle

So the main thing you are going to need to do at the beach is hydrate, and no one likes sand in their water.

I find the bottles with straws tend to work best on the beach and you want one that can hold a lot of water to save trips to a water fountain. I find Stanley cups do a great job.

This water bottle is one of my favorites and one of the things to buy from Amazon before your beach vacation.

These Amazon beach vacation essentials will help you make the most of your vacation. Whether you’re lounging on one of the best USA beaches, exploring Caribbean beaches, or relaxing on a European destination beach.

From sun hats to speakers, a well-packed beach bag can turn a good getaway into a great one. These are, in my opinion, the best Amazon finds for beach travel.
