5 Things You Need at the Beach This Summer

Kite on the beach

There’s not too much that can beat long summer days basking in the sun at the beach or playing in the waves. Once you finally get to Destin, Florida, it’s pretty much smooth sailing and time to relax. But now that summer is in full swing around here, there are a few suggestions we have to make your vacation even better. 

Floats have always been a beach staple. Whether you’re at the pool or the beach, you can take relaxation to another level with a nice big float. But these days, there are tons of options and it looks like the bigger the float, the better. Besides the fact that a giant swan or slice of pizza can fit more friends, it’s easy to spot your crew with a crazy float. Your nearest Alvin’s Island can set you up with your dream float or choose from giant floats on Amazon.

Spike Ball is a fun beach game to play for groups of four. If you are the type that always wants to be doing something, this is a great set to bring to the beach. Break up into two teams and bounce the ball off the trampoline, it’s not complicated and can be lots of fun! 

It seems like when we were young, people would fly kites a lot more than they do now. But kids love seeing kites fly high in the sky over the beach and there are so many colorful options to shop now. These are also available at local beach stores or you can purchase them online. You can get a bright rainbow kite or a fun 3D ship. There’s a wide variety to choose from.  

Mandala throw blankets are often seen scattered on the beach and tend to really come in handy. When you don’t want to lay your towel down on the sand to get dirty but feel like lying down, these throws are perfect. They are lightweight and take up little room in your bag. They dry quickly and there are tons of beautiful designs to choose from. 

When you are lounging on the gorgeous beaches during your much anticipated Destin vacation, you can’t go wrong. But plan ahead and grab one or two of these beach accessories to add to your fun and the whole crew can enjoy it. See you on the beach!
