Ten Essentials to Bring to the Beach for Beach Day!

     # 10 - Plain Black Sunglasses

     This essential item will help your eyes no matter how many rays are shining. You won’t have trouble getting around the beach or having fun with your Neopets and fellow Neopians. While these may have “plain” in the name, they get the job done. These sunglasses continue to be elegant but are the epitome of classic style, and are something you absolutely need to remember to pack for your trip! You can find them on the shop wizard, trading post or at Uni’s Clothing Shop for a very affordable price.

     # 9 - Comfy Beach Chair

     How would one go on a relaxing beach day without having a place to sit back and relax? A Comfy Beach Chair is important to make sure you make the most of your day in the sun. You can sit back, close your eyes and talk to friends by the water, feeling the nice breeze of the water. The material in this specific chair will make you feel right at home and is sturdy enough to last several beach trips! You can obtain this item via the trading post, shop wizard or a lucky spin with Trudy’s Surprise will give you this prize.

     # 8 - Palm Tree Beach Umbrella

     The perfect pair to your comfy beach chair is definitely a Palm Tree Beach Umbrella. This beautiful umbrella will make sure you have shade while relaxing on the beach and is movable to enable you to angle the umbrella so you will feel the sun’s aura only where you want to. This palm tree beach umbrella is locally made on Mystery Island and directly supports the natives who help keep the beach as beautiful. It can be purchased at Tiki Tack Supplies, a shop that sells Mystery Island merchandise or you can get it from other users through the shop wizard or the trading post - which is also conveniently located on the island!

     # 7 - Summer Fun Water Bottle

     Here at the Neopian Times, we are sure you will be having plenty of different cooling drinks at the beach but none is more important than good old fashioned water! To make sure you are well hydrated during this hot day, remember to bring a Summer Fun Water Bottle (or even a few). The beach has several cooling stations where you can refill your water bottle, so it will be a worthy investment. The summer design and theme of the bottle will also help you fit right in with the scenery. You can trade for this item on the trading post, purchase it from the shop wizard or even win it as a prize from Quest Log!

          # 6 - Team Mystery Island Cooler

     Equipped with your water bottle, you’ll be ready to stay refreshed while at the beach. However, with the constant warmth, you will need to bring a cooler so your drinks don’t get too warm and taste a little odd or different. There are many different coolers that you can go with, but we thought, since the beach is at Mystery Island, some of the natives would be happy if they saw you representing their land’s Altador Cup team with your cooler. They might even invite you to a game of volleyball!

     # 5 - Shell Sandals

     Being at the beach means needing to navigate both the dry sand and sandy water. We have the perfect footwear for you to bring - shell sandals! They are perfect for beach lovers and quite fashionable, made with a beautiful shell detail in the front. You wouldn’t want to ruin any lucky sneakers, boots or ballet flats with sand, so you may want to pick this up on your shopping trip before the beach day. These were once a prize for Daily Dare, so you may have them in your safety deposit box. If not, you can buy them from the shop wizard or trade with another Neopian on the trading post.

     # 4 - Neopets Beach Ball

     A beach day isn’t a beach day without playing some beach ball or volleyball. For this, we recommend the classic, yet reliable, Neopets Beach Ball. This beach ball guarantees fun memories for you and your fellow beach crew - or new friends you’ll make on the day, keen to have a play! With all the beach snacks you are sure to have, the Neopets Beach Ball will guarantee you a good workout with loads of fun in the meantime! You can find them practically anywhere but if you don’t have one, check out Tiki Tack’s Island Merchandise Shop. You can also buy one off the shop wizard or get one from the trading post.

     # 3 - Blue Picnic Blanket

     A must-have for the beach is a picnic blanket. These are perfect for a lie down on the shore or a place to spread out some snacks! We picked out an affordable yet reliable one for our readers to make sure your food will not end up full of sand. Otherwise, it’s a great spot to drop off your bags of beach essentials. You can even use the Palm Tree Beach Umbrella we mentioned earlier to provide some shade while you are having your snacks. You can either buy this item from other Neopians on the shop wizard, trade for it on the trading post or open a Blue Picnic Hamper and try and find one inside!

     # 2 - Mynci Beach Towel

     Chances are you will need a towel or two if you are heading to the beach. Whether it be after you go swimming or simply dusting off the sand, this cute Mynci Beach Towel will have you covered. Wrapped in a ribbon, this soft towel will be gentle on your skin and keep you clean. It may even catch the attention of local Myncis playing Mynci Beach Volleyball nearby. You can get this towel by redeeming a Neocash card. You can also buy it from other users through the shop wizard or trade for it through the trading post.

     # 1 - Illusens Sunscreen

     This is probably the most important item you will need to bring on your beach trip. While having fun is important, it is imperative that you stay safe from the sun at the same time. This sunscreen will have you covered and allow you to shine throughout the whole day. Be sure to pick some up before your trip, and it may be wise to even bring an extra bottle or two for a friend who may have forgotten to bring theirs. You can get this item from a Neocash card or through the shop wizard and trading post.

     We hope these suggestions help make your trip to the beach a wonderful day full of sun, sand, laughs and good memories. Be sure to put on sunscreen, stay hydrated and remember to have fun!
