Plans for summer often include spending a day at the beach. It can be at a lake, the ocean, or any sandy area you can find. When packing for your trip, remember to err on the side of caution. If you think you might need it and have room, bring it along. In addition to your swimsuit, the standard supplies include sunscreen, sunglasses, and possibly a hat for added protection. You will also want to have plenty of towels, bottled water, pails and shovels, and of course some snacks to make your day complete.
