Practical Beach Gifts
In this first section of the best gifts for beach lovers, we’ll have a look at some more practical gifts which make a day at the beach both safe and comfortable.
1. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is an essential item and therefore an always welcome gift for beach-lovers, especially if they want to protect their skin from sunburn, wrinkles, and cancer.
When choosing the right sunscreen, it’s important to select a formula with an SPF of at least 30 and UVA/UVB broad-spectrum protection.
Ideally you also want something that’s waterproof and long lasting so you get the best protection possible when spending time in the sun.
Here’s the sunscreen I recommend;
2. SBF Lip Balm
I don’t know about you, but my lips are super sensitive to the sun and if I don’t wear factor 50 lip balm they regularly get burned. (Which is really sore and uncomfortable, especially if you then try to eat spicy food!).
I have tried every lip balm under the sun (excuse the pun) and this is by far the best! I buy it by the boatload!
3. Portable Beach Chairs
Clearly not something a digital nomad wants to lug around the world, but a great gift for a beach lover, portable beach chairs are lightweight, durable and easy to fold up, making them the ideal choice for beachgoers.
Here are some of the best options for beach lovers:
The Picnic Time Portable Beach Chair is a great option for ultimate beach comfort. It features a sturdy steel frame and an adjustable backrest, so it can conform to your preferences. The included insulated pocket and straps make it easy to carry, and this chair is perfect for long days in the sand and sun.
The Kelty Low Loveseat is a great option for couples looking for a romantic day in the sun. This low-profile chair can fit two people comfortably, and features zippered pockets for keeping drinks and valuables safe. It’s lightweight, durable, and perfect for a day at the beach.
The Coleman Utopia Breeze Beach Chair is the perfect option for laid-back beach days. It features a mesh back and padded armrests, so you can stay cool while enjoying the view. This chair is lightweight and collapsible, making it easy to take with you wherever you go.
For beach lovers who want extra style and comfort, the Tommy Bahama Beach Chair is the perfect choice. It features a deep recline, a headrest, and side pockets for keeping your things close at hand. It’s lightweight, durable, and perfect for long days in the sun.
4. Floating Cooler
If your beach lover enjoys a refreshing beverage while splashing about in the surf, what could make their day even more enjoyable than a floating cooler?
The Bestway floating cooler is definitely one of the best items to bring along to a beach day since it holds up to 24 cans and keeps them cold as you swim and play.
Thanks to the insulation and thicker walls, no matter how hot the day gets, your drinks and treats will stay cool and refreshing. Plus, you won’t need to worry about sand or dirt entering the cooler.
5. Beach Umbrella
If traveling the globe, most places you’ll be able to rent a beach umbrella, however for a more localized gift, a beach umbrella is an excellent gift for any beach-goer.
A beach umbrella shades you from the sun and provides some protection if it’s raining. Beach umbrellas come in a variety of sizes and colors to fit any taste.
When shopping for a beach umbrella, look for one that’s easy to set up. Many umbrellas come with a telescopic pole so you don’t have to bend over to open it up.
Consider one that incorporates a sand anchor to keep it stable in windy conditions. If you’re buying for a person who regularly camps, look into beach umbrellas that double as a shelter, most pop open and come with a carry bag for easy storage and transport.
6. Beach Bag
Beach bags are crucial for storing your beach essentials and keeping all your items together. We love our beach bag and picking the right one is essential. It needs to be big enough to store
