There's nothing like a summer beach day—soaking up the sun, relaxing in the sand, and swimming in the ocean. What's more, it's a great opportunity to put together a cute beach-day look worthy of your Instagram grid. After years of annual trips, I've put together the ultimate low-effort, high-reward beach day packing list.
When I'm on a getaway, I need easygoing summer staples that work hard. That means my favorite beach outfits revolve around linen basics—breezy pieces I can mix and match that go far beyond just bathing suit cover-ups. On the beauty front, I like to keep things low-key with my favorite air-dry styling products and waterproof makeup. And the most important thing on my vacation packing list is a chic, functional beach tote.
