More times than not, Summertime brings us to the beach. We love every minute of the ocean air, the sound of the waves and our toes in the sand. Beach life is made a little bit easier (and comfortable) with a few of our favorite things. We’ve gathered our tried and true items when we’re “beaching it” and put them in one spot. A good chair, a great Bluetooth speaker, the perfect cooler…just to name a few. These items have been honed over several years of beachgoing. We hope you enjoy!
