What are the essential items for traveling to the beach?

Sunglasses are a must-have item for traveling to the beach: The sun is scorching hot, and sunglasses are a necessity to protect your eyes from the strong sunlight. Sunglasses come in a wide variety of colors and styles. In terms of style, in order to be easy to carry, you should choose sports glasses made of resin or other synthetic materials that are light in weight and not afraid of falling. It is best to have straps on the temples. The sun at the beach is strong, so you should choose darker colors. Brown and green mirrors; UV mirrors can protect against ultraviolet rays, and polarizing mirrors can filter out clutter in the light, making the scenery in front of you clearer.

Sunscreen: Women may be better at using sunscreen, but men also need to use sunscreen to protect their skin from ultraviolet rays. In addition, when applying sunscreen, be sure to apply it evenly. If it is washed away by sweat, you have to reapply it. Don’t be too troublesome.

Measuring the sun protection ability of sunscreen products depends on the SPF value and PA classification. SPF value is the sunscreen efficacy index for preventing ultraviolet B waves, which are the main cause of skin sunburn (redness, swelling, blisters, etc.). For example, if the SPF value is 130, it means that if you don't wear sunscreen and you will get red in the sun for five minutes, under the same amount of light, you will have a sunscreen effect of 5×130=650 minutes. In addition, the PA classification is a sunscreen efficacy index for preventing ultraviolet A waves, which are considered to cause skin aging. For example, PA+ means that it can delay skin tanning 2 to 4 times more than skin without sunscreen.

Swimming gear: If you don’t swim at the beach, it’s a waste of time and beauty, so don’t forget to bring swimming gear. Swimsuits, swimming trunks, swimming caps, goggles, bath towels, and slippers, none of them are missing.

Camping supplies: Tent is both a luxury item and a thrifty item. Because camping is more troublesome than finding ready-made accommodation, and the equipment itself is not cheap. But camping can save on accommodation fees and is very fun. So whether you want to live in a tent depends on whether you are interested in it.

Tents used at the beach tend to be larger and can be lived in more comfortably; it is best to have gauze and breathable ones, so that you can still enjoy the sea breeze in the tent. Moisture-proof pads and air mattresses should be brought, and the sleeping bag should not be too thick. A single-layer thin sleeping bag is enough. We would like to remind you that you must not choose a campsite on a beach that can be washed away by high tides, otherwise there is a risk of being flooded.

Awnings and beach chairs: If you are driving to the beach by yourself, you can bring these two items. There are many types of awnings, the best one is like a tent with only a roof and no sides, and is easy to fold; the kind of umbrella-shaped awning with an iron rod is not so convenient.

Cooking utensils, stoves, tableware: Picnics and picnics at the beach are also a great pleasure, but they require a lot of things to bring and complicated and meticulous preparations. Gas stoves, barbecue grills and other barbecue equipment are most suitable for beach picnics; if it is too troublesome, use a small insulated box to bring ready-made food. It is also good to have a picnic on the beach. Don't forget to bring a tablecloth; if it is still too troublesome, just I can eat in a restaurant.
