ES Guide: What to Pack for the Beach this Summer!

From Local Spots to Tropical Destinations, Elizabeth Scarlett's Packing List for Every Beach Adventure...

From the South of France to Cornwall, it is the season to sit by the sea and soak up the sun, no matter which coast or country you plan to visit this summer! But before you relax into that sunshine getaway, it’s time to pack up all the things you need, like towels and blankets, suncream and a good read.

To make sure you stay relaxed this summer, I've put together a list of my go-to essentials that I took on my recent trip to Cornwall and will hopefully reach for again before the summers over!

Jungle Leaf Tote Bag: My chosen beach bag this year is from the Jungle Leaf collection/Tropical Leaf Accessories, the design was inspired by the luscious, abundant jungles of Bali, and bring's a tropical feel to any beach with embroidered gold and green monstera leaves. It perfectly holds all of my dreamy holiday essentials and includes a pocket for my phone and zip for my precious items! Click to discover Elizabeth's beach bag. 

Palmier Coral Travel Pouch: I am alway's sure to take a travel pouch to store my smaller items safely. They are the perfect size to throw in my bag and grab when heading to the nearest beach bar! I love the fun coral colour embroidered golden palm tree's one this one, paired with the Jungle Leaf tote bag/Elephant tote bag - they make for most dreamy tropical pair!

 Coin Purse: My coin purse is an essential for carrying currency when on my travels, I also keep my debit card and a lipstick in there too! I'm currently using (and loving) the Jungle Leaf design to match my beach bag! Click here to shop Elizabeth's the Jungle Leaf Coin Purse.

 Sun Cream: I wouldn't be without my Pai Sensitive Sunscreen on the beach... no one wants the lobster look! This one is my favourite as it 100% natural and organic, the mineral and plant formula protects and repairs my skin. It feels super nourishing on my sensitive skin and looks lovely on the skin...even under makeup! Click to Shop the Pai Sensitive Suncream range.

Dock & Bay Towel: My bestie from school, Andy co-founded Dock & Bay and I’m a huge fan! I'm currently using my pineapple printed micro-fibre towel from Dock & Bay. It is really compact and light-weight in my bag, and perfect for what can sometimes be a long trek down to the beach! It drys really quickly and is super soft when kicking back and relaxing on... Shop Dock & Bay here. 

Chilly's Re-Usable Bottle: You've got to stay hydrated at the beach! I carry around my re-usable bottle from Chilly's everywhere. It keeps drinks super cold, making for a cooling refreshment in the sunshine! Discover Chilly's Bottles here.

 Wishing you all a lovely time on the beach this summer!

Lots of Love,
