Shopping Bag
You’ve got the sunscreen, towel, and that book you swore to finally read. Your beach bag is basically bursting already, but is it actually ready for a full-on beach trip? Have you thought about your eyes? Yep, those peepers of yours need sun protection, too! Nothing ruins a beach day like squinting all day or coming home with sunburnt eyes (not today, sun). Here’s why sunglasses should be at the top of your packing list! (Yes, even above that third pair of flip flops you didn't need, but packed anyway.)
You’re here for the vibes, like the perfect sunbathing spot or that sweet snack bar menu you’ve curated. Less exciting? Safety. It’s the beach and the sun’s out, what could go wrong…until you’re waking up with sunburnt skin and eyes the following day.
If the word “sunburn” triggers flashbacks, or you simply want to avoid becoming yet another cautionary tale, then listen up!!! Here’s your beach prep starter pack perfectly laid out (aka your beach trip packing list):
Sun protection: Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and UV-protective clothing for the best post-beach results to avoid sunburn on your skin and your eyes! The sun is lovely, but it’s not your bestie, but sun lotion is. More like a frenemy who can’t stand the thought of you having fun without them, so protect yourself! Bonus points if you claim your spot early with a beach umbrella for some much-needed shade.
Hydration: Whether you’re playing a beach sport or taking a swim, you’re expelling a ton of energy in the hot sun. Make sure not to end up like a dehydrated raisin by packing plenty of water, electrolyte drinks, and a cooler to keep all your drinks and snacks chilled. Because nothing’s sadder' than realizing you forgot to grab snacks halfway through peak sun hours.
Comfort items: Lying on the sand can be great…for about five minutes. Before you know it, you’ve got sand in places you didn’t even know existed. Bring a comfy beach chair, beach towels, and a pop-up shade so you can sit out for as long as the beach is open. Trust us, hot sand removal waits for no one.
All that beach gear? Great. But let's talk about the MVP you didn't know you needed.
Sunglasses may feel like an afterthought, but your eyes will disagree. Would you eat your hot dog without ketchup? Kinda the same energy. (If you really think about it.)
Sunglasses offer UV 400 protection from harmful UV, reduce glare, and prevent sand from hitting your eyeballs. A good pair of sunglasses offers optimal protection from these, turning your beach day into a squint-fest.
They further enhance your experience by reducing eye strain and enhancing your ground visibility. What does that mean? Less squinting and stepping on an unassuming rock…that’s actually not at all a rock, but a crabby sand crab. You don’t want those guys as your enemy.
And if you weren’t convinced yet, an excellent pair of beach sunglasses not only prevents sand and wind irritation, it gives you an effortlessly stylish edge. Dare we say, you might just outshine the sun. They complete any beach outfit, so you can focus on the important stuff, like who’s bringing the food.
We may be slightly biased, but you really can’t go wrong with any pair of goodr sunglasses. Whether you need more athletic eyewear or a pair to match the jacket of your beach read, we’ve got you covered in all arenas. Choose your own adventure with our sunnies and see the roads they take you down, whether you're planning a chill beach vacation or a chaos-filled day trip.
But when it comes down to what you want to look out for, keep these in mind:
Polarized lenses for enhanced clarity and vision even in extra-sunny conditions.
Lightweight, no-slip frames so they don’t go bouncing off your face when that volleyball comes charging at you.
Floatable materials so your shades don’t go overboard when the water tries to claim them. Nice try, ocean.
Now for our top picks, aka the cool ones your future beach photos will thank you for.
Much like their name, you’re here for a good time, not a long time. Slip them on these black aviators, and sip away as the sun slowly sets or you do (whichever comes first). Don’t worry about your eyeballs burning up; they come equipped with UV400 protection and polarized lenses.
Sun’s out, bun’s out. These no-slip yellow round shades come pre-baked and ready for your beach day shenanigans. Serve up looks or just vibes. Either way, you’re winning.
Reign as the king or queen of the limbo dance in these sleek, hot pink sunglasses. People will stare, and they shall envy, but lucky for you, these have polarized lenses—perfect for blocking glare and those glares.
You’re a total vibe, and so are these yellow rectangular sunglasses. Slip these baddies on, and watch everyone gravitate towards (sun, who?). With their no-slip, no-bounce design, you can move, groove, and pose without a single readjustment.
You’re fast AF, and the wind, sand, or sun can’t stop you. Dodging waves, spikes, and that one friend who said this would be a ‘super easy’ game. So you need sunglasses that won’t slow you down. Enter these half-rim high-performance shades. With their adjustable nose piece and functional design, the only thing slipping is your competition.
It’s you against the ocean. And when the tides try to test you, you can count on these water-resistant, floating sunglasses to stick by your side. Skip the fishing-for-shades routine; these will float right back up for whatever comes next.
Beach sunglasses aren’t just a nice-to-have; they’re a non-negotiable for what to bring to the beach. Consider this your official nudge to upgrade your packing list (and your eyewear game). Remember, to have the ultimate beach day, you’re going to need: sun protection, comfort, and hydration. And we’ve got you covered on two out of the three.
