As we begin summer and vacations, the beach is likely on the horizon. If not the sandy coastlines, a closer water option may be calling your name. Regardless of the location, you want your day by the seaside or even poolside to be a flawless one. From start to finish, here are some items to put on your summer list that will make your vacation time easier, pain-free, more fun and just plain perfect!

The first thing you need when headed to the sea is a bag for your belongings. This mesh bag is just right and big enough for the whole family to share.
