What to Bring to the Beach

What to Bring to the Beach - Kortni Jeane
We don’t know about you, but we were born to live on the beach. All year long, we dream about dipping our toes into ocean blue water and lounging on the warm white sand. But everytime we pack for the beach we’re stumped with one important question: what do we need to pack? Whether you're hitting the beach for a day or for an entire week (or going solo, as a pair, or as a family) we’ve pulled together the ultimate guide so you’re prepared for water + sandy adventures.
