Steele Away With Steele
If someone asks if you want to go to the beach the answer is always yes. Beach time is the best time. While traveling on a budget a beach day is a budget-friendly activity. Finding a free public beach on the water front is simple. Relaxing in the sun can be optimized by bringing simple items
1. Water
Spending time at the beach can be relaxing but it is an easy way to become dehydrated. Swimming and sweating in the sun causes the body to lose a large amount of water. Taking a bottle of water can help you replace the water you lose throughout the day to prevent dehydration or heat stroke.
2. Sunscreen
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation one in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. To prevent skin damage constant reapplication of sunscreen is necessary. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests reapplying sunscreen every two hours or after swimming. Constant reapplication prevents painful sunburns from ruining the rest of your trip.
3. Waterproof bag
A plastic sandwich bag is a simple and cheap way to keep cell phones and car keys sand-free. If you’re looking for a more high-tech way to keep valuables dry, use waterproof bags like Earth Pak. An Earth Pak does an excellent job of keeping the sand and water from getting all over the entire contents of your beach bag.
4. Beach umbrella
Taking a beach umbrella has many benefits to the beach experience. One use is to mark your spot on the beach. Putting your belongings under the umbrella prevents people from stepping on it. Marking your area with an umbrella is also helpful while you are in the water. Swimming in the waves can move you farther down the beach. The beach umbrella is a simple visual reminder of how far you have drifted. Finally, the umbrella provides a respite from the UV rays.
5. Baby powder
Do you struggle getting sand off your skin when leaving the beach? Baby powder is a cheap and simple life hack. Sprinkle baby powder on the sand stuck to your body. Brushing off the sand post-baby powder sprinkle gets the sand off quickly and easily.
May sun rays and beach waves find you.
