Going to the beach is one of the few socially-distanced activities you can still participate in to make this summer feel a little more normal.

While you might not be planning an island getaway anytime soon, you might be looking to beat the remaining summer heat and escape to your local beach or lake for the weekend (or longer, if you’re working remotely).

You might be in need of the basics necessities if it’s been a while since your last beach trip, like this top-rated 2020 sunscreen, the perfect beach chair or this summers best beach reads. If you’re a seasoned beach-goer who just wants a few new beach must-haves, it doesn’t hurt to stock up on some shore accessories like this budget-friendly bluetooth-speaker or sand-friendly coasters that will keep your White Claw safe.
