Summer is here and the weather seems to be cooperating, save for a few thunderstorms (which are really just a reprieve in the middle of a heat wave--not that I'm complaining), which means you're probably frequenting sandy areas close to large bodies of water. And while we know that bathing suits and bikinis are essential components of summer (not to mention a great summer read), it's not everything you need to have a great day by the beach. Here are seven other beach essentials that you may have missed.
The Beach People The Majorelle Towel ($110)
If you think you don’t need this towel in your life. Not only is it completely Instagram-worthy (if you don’t believe me, follow them and see for yourself), but it serves as both a beach towel and blanket for if you want to lay on the sand. It’s big enough for multiple people to lay on and to warm you up when you’re running out of the freezing lake water.
