in the beach bag

while travelling in cuba, i kept a swim bag packed and ready at all times.  it was filled with the essentials so my boys and i never had to frantically search our luggage when all we wanted was to head straight to the beach.  so here’s some inspiration - summer is around the corner!

a bathing suit, of course

a practical bag to carry the wet suits + keep them separate in your larger bag



a white cover up... will look great with the sunkissed skin

i use this sunscreen for my face and then share something less expensive with my boys for everywhere else



 

sunglasses, loving the aviators





hat, with large brim



flip flops for actually getting wet and these are super lite... i wore them on and off the beach although these would do the job too





 towels, i would love to get some hammam towels but in the meantime i just throw in some sarongs (perfectly light for travel)



and a lovely bag to put it all in

add your electronic reader and a deck of cards (kai was addicted to the game crazy eights) and you are ready for the beach... or the pool.
