Good morning everyone! Thank you so much for the lovely comments you left yesterday in regards to the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. Your kind, thoughtful feedback was appreciated and I’m excited you’re happy with the new direction Beautifully Seaside is taking!
Since we’re savoring summer, I thought it would be fun to share what’s in my beach bag. A well stocked bag is key when heading to the beach and pool. I dreamed of designing beach bags at one time, so getting my bag ready for a fun day in the sun is a treat for me. I’m carrying a Mar y Sol bag that’s roomy and made to last and the first thing I put in my bag is sunscreen for my body, face, and lips. Then, I make sure to pack a pretty coverup. I ordered this sheer lace coverup last year and was happy to see that it’s back in all sizes, including plus sizes. Finally, I pack a wide brim hat, sunglasses, hair ties, and a cute beach towel. Below you’ll find that I linked more coverups I love. Especially the adorable romper!

Hi Desiree,
I live near the Beach and try to get there every weekend. I keep a packed bag on a hook by the back door and right after church on Sunday I’m out the door ready to go! We meet my brother and his family and spend a blissful morning. The only thing different in my bag is a bag for gathering shells😎
That sounds wonderful to live near a beach. And thank you for the reminder on a bag for shells. That’s a must! XO
Love your coverups! There’s so much peace on the beach—and a beach bag, as you said, is a must! I never forget to include a book or magazines, plus my magnifier sunglasses, as well as a few nut and raisin snacks. I need a BIG beach bag!!! 😘
Hi Desiree. Dillards has several of the Mar y Sol beach bags on sale for $54 – $58. They are selling out fast. I purchased the last navy bag yesterday. They also have a nice Vera Bradley beach bag on sale. Only the coral color remains. I purchased the blue VB bag months ago at full price ugh! Have a great weekend.
This post made me smile! You and your surroundings look so cheerful and pretty!
Thank you so much Janice! I’m so glad you enjoyed this post! XO
Love all your posts! You look so beautiful in everything you wear ❤️ and make summer look so fun! So great seeing you the other day!! 😘
I love the Serena&Lilly coral beach towels. They are such a pretty color. And your beach bag is so cute. I keep a bag ready to go at the lake to head out on the boat, but my inner beach girl wishes she could have a bag ready to at her a wave at the beach. Blessings!!!
Our town has a community pool and my two boys have been going there every day (when it hasn’t been thunderstorming, that is!) . I have a Scout beach bag that I leave packed for their sitter so she can bring them while we are at work. The bag always has clean towels, their pool goggles, a soft little beach ball for them to play catch with each other, sunscreen, our pool tags , their Swell water bottles and lots of snacks. I leave it right in their cubby in the garage and it’s always ready for them!
Great idea! I heard great thigs about those Scout bags and I love my Swell bottle as well! It’s amazing!
