by melowierdums

--------

Planning your next big Beach Day? Whether you’re going to Kiko Lake, Mystery Island, or any of the other tropical Neo Islands - you DEFINITELY need to plan ahead with your Beach Day essentials! Fretting over which sunblock to bring or if you need to pack a book? Afraid you’ll bring the wrong snack or last season’s water bottle? Don’t worry - we’ve reviewed some of the top Beach Day items you may need and are here to help make your sunny day stress free!

      Best for Sunbathing:

     Comfy Beach Chair

     Hands down - this is the best luxury seating while soaking up those rays. The chair’s breathable fabric was hand-spun by a small business of Cybunny sisters! Unlike some of the other options, this chair is very easy to pack and lightweight for easy maneuvering to the perfect beach spot! While it may seem basic without having any drink holders or pockets for your books - the minimalist look is back in this summer so you’ll appear trendy rather than thrifty!

     Other notable options: Beach Chair, Mystery Island Lounge Chair, and Wooden Sun Lounger

     Best Beach Towel:

     Song Flower Print Beach Towel

     This towel is not just the best for the price - this towel is large enough for ANY Neopet to use! Some beach towels are too small for even your average Neopet, and how are you expected to dry off after a day of snorkelling with the Peophins? This towel is ethically sourced and includes a print that says ‘good vibes only!’ They’re limited edition - so grab these while you can and show off to your friends!

     Other notable options: Seashell Print Beach Towel, Star Beach Towel, Mynci Beach Towel, and Gulper Print Beach Towel

     Best for Sun Protection:

     Illusens Sunscreen

     Perfect for keeping your skin protected and dewy! Inspired by Illusen herself - this sunscreen includes only the safest ingredients and paraben free! This sunscreen is guaranteed to not clog up pores and leave your skin feeling soft - not greasy! The formula includes notes of coconut and sandalwood - perfect scents for beach vibes! The best part of Illusens Sunscreen is that it is waterproof, which is perfect for swimming with the flotsams without having to reapply throughout the entire day!

     Other notable options: Usul Sunblock and 30 proof Kacheek Sun Screen

     Best Sunglasses:

     Heart Shaped Sunglasses

     With so many brands and styles, this was a tough choice! But a clear winner rose to the top - Heart Shaped Sunglasses! It’s a must have accessory for any swimsuit, and sets the perfect vibe for your ideal beach day! Recently debuted at a Usuki Fashion Show - these sunglasses have been called one of the best accessories of the year! With the strong UV protection it provides - you’ll be constant heart eyes with these sun glasses!

     Other notable options: Round Sunglasses, Triangular Sunglasses, and Plain Black Sunglasses

     Best Beach Toys:

     Green Acara Beach Ball

     With so many beach balls on the market - we tried over a dozen different balls! Hands down - Green Acara Beach Ball was the clear winner! With the most satisfying bounce and modern color profile - this ball is the PERFECT choice for having fun on the beach! Make sure you pack the Green Acara Beach Ball for either some beach volleyball or keep-a-way in the water! Just make sure not to aim for any nearby Ixi horns or you may have to scramble for another beady day activity!

     Other notable options: Blue Sandcastle Kit, Beach Fun Pack, Kelpflake Beach Ball, and Summerfun Flotsam Beach Ball

     Best Water Bottle:

     Wocky Water Bottle

     Look no further than the Wocky Water Bottle for your Beach Day! You DEFINITELY have to bring a water bottle - you can’t drink from the ocean! This water bottle is perfect for a long day under the sun! It keeps your water cold for up to 24 hours so you can stay well hydrated! The strap is perfect for making sure it doesn’t get lost on your trek to the beach, and the colours are in season this summer! The best part? You can use a dishwasher to clean the water bottle - it’s not hand wash only!

     Other notable options: Gormball Water Bottle Handheld, Ona Water Bottle, and Summer Fun Water Bottle

     Best Beach Day Read:

     A Kau Summer

     Soaking up the rays is the absolute best time to work on your reading list! Our pick for the best book to read while working on your sun tan is A Kau Summer! There’s nothing better than reading about this little Rainbow Kau’s most eventful and fun-filled summer! Filled with thought provoking insights and emotional internal confrontations, this book will leave you with a new lease on life! The author’s writing style is quite immersive into the Kau’s experience - you might even forget you’re at the beach yourself!

     Other notable options: Usuki Summer Journal, Fyoras Favourite Summer Recipes, and The Sun and You

     Best Beach Snack:

     Kiwi-Mango Smoothie

          What more could you ask for on a hot day than a nice, refreshing smoothie? This zesty smoothie is the perfect blend of Kiwi and Mango, and leaves you feeling ready for another dip in the water or starting a new book! This smoothie uses a secret recipe - which makes sense why it is a sought after gourmet food! This is definitely a drink you’ll want to sip on while catching up with your friends and maybe subtly showing off your luck on scoring a gourmet smoothie!

     Other notable options: Shark Sandwich, Egg Salad Sandwich, Uni Salad, and Confetti Ice Cream Pops

     While those are our best category picks for Y28, we would be remiss to not shout out the other following essentials that you DON’T want to forget for your upcoming Beach Day: After Sun Aloe Gel and Lip Balm With Sunblock! Make sure to plan ahead so you can make your own Vial of Beach or Bag of Sand so you can have a keepsake of your perfect Beach Day! Make sure not to forget bringing a positive attitude and a smile - you’ll need those at the beach too!
