What You Need for a Perfect Beach Day

     You're going to need quite a few items for maximum fun, so plan to bring a tote. The Mynci Summer Beach Tote is perfect, as it comes equipped with the right pockets for your things. Everything fits in its place, and it's made with holes in the bottom of the bag to allow sand and water to run out! There's nothing worse than having last beach day's sand on your things when you show up for a new day of fun in the sun!

     The first item out of your tote should be your sunscreen. Getting sunburnt is the perfect way to ruin a beach trip. Had an awesome time but came home as red as a Christmas Wocky? No thank you! Illusens Sunscreen is sure to protect your skin, keeping it glowy and the color it's supposed to be, just like Illusen. She's beautiful - you can stay beautiful too!

     The sun is bright and powerful at the beach, so you need to protect those eyes. While there are many options for stylish sunglasses these days, it's always good to bust out the classic Heart Shaped Sunglasses. The pink alone is enough to grab anyone's attention, but the heart shape adds to the romance of a good ole fashioned beach day. Wear 'em, you won't regret it.

     While the beach is fun, there is still sand involved. It's coarse and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere, as a chosen one has once said. To avoid that sand getting everywhere, bring a Comfy Beach Chair to lounge in! It's the perfect height to still give you the warmth of the hot sand below you, but you won't have sand crawling into spaces you don't want. Win, win!

     Your chair is settled in, but you don't want it to get wet after you've splished and splashed in the water. To prevent that, you better put an Ice Cream Print Beach Towel on it to soak up the excess water. Let the sun do its job drying you off as you lay on your towel, happy in your chair, falling asleep in the warm summer rays. Why an ice cream print? See our final item.

     While ice cream may be on your mind, dehydration is a real possibility when you go to the beach. Not to get too serious, but dehydration can really make you sick. Drink some water, friends! One way to remember to drink water is to have a fun water bottle. I know you have an emotional support water bottle lying around, so bring it along. If not, grab a Summer Fun Water Bottle to match the vibes of the beach and staying hydrated. The perfect combo!

     If you’re not totally against playing in the sand, make sure you bring along the right tools to build the perfect sand creations. The Isca Summer Sand Kit is the obvious choice, as Isca herself is a creature of the beach! You’ll be able to “build a monster castle with this sand kit!” Maybe even enter a sandcastle building contest. Go wild!

     When it's time to get in the water, you may want to feel light, floating along in the water to wherever the current takes you. You'll need a floatie, and the best option is the Maraquan Shoyru Float Ring! There have been numerous accounts of Maraquan Shoyrus coming up to Neopians using the Maraquan Shoyru Float Ring because they think it's a friend floating by. Make a new friend using a super cute float ring!

     The beach is the perfect place to play, so let's break down two options for games. First, everyone loves a super soaker water fight. Why bring something small and powerless to the beach when you can bring the strong and mighty Fyora Water Squirter, ready to take on any opponent. Just like Fyora herself, the strength of this water squirter will leave your enemies - er, friends - in awe. Win the game, be the queen.

     Our second option for a game is literally anything with a ball. Have a net? Play some Mynci Beach Volleyball. Have a different kind of net? Pretend your Polka Dot Beach Ball is a Yooyu for some Yooyuball. The options are vast when you bring a ball to the beach, and you'll make sure not to lose it if it's covered in polka dots. It's also nice that it inflates and deflates easily for portability!

     Okay, I know we mentioned ice cream earlier, so let's get to the most important part of beach day: the cooldown ice cream. There are so many options, but the ice cream cart find of the day will definitely be the Fancy Ice Cream. The Blue Negg flavour is bright and delicious, and you'll find yourself wishing for another beach day as you finish off the tail of the cone. And you know what? Beach day is also cheat day. Have two.

     Bonus: When you leave the beach, don't forget to take your Vial of Beach with you to remember your perfect day.

     Your bag is packed, and your chair is secured. It's time to have the perfect beach day! Beach days are best spent with friends and family, so make sure you bring them along. Spirits are always high when you're lounging in the sun, playing water games, and eating delicious ice cream together. I hope you have not one but multiple amazing beach days this summer. Fall will be here before we know it, so don’t miss out! Soak up the sun and have fun!
