Your Ultimate Beach Bag Guide

You did it—you made it to Biloxi! Now it’s time to get out and enjoy the warm weather. Whether you're spending the day by the resort-style pool at your condominium or heading straight for the sand, you’ll want to be prepared with the perfectly packed beach bag. Here’s our guide to making sure you have everything you need for a perfect day on the coast.

The Absolute Essentials

These are the non-negotiables for a safe and comfortable day in the sun.

1. Sunscreen & Lip Balm with SPF: A must-have to protect your skin and lips. Choose a water-resistant, broad-spectrum option.
2. Sunglasses & Hat: Keep the sun out of your eyes and protect your face.
3. Beach Towels: One for lounging, and maybe an extra for drying off.
4. Waterproof Phone Case: Protect your phone from sand and water.
5. First-Aid Kit: A small kit with essentials like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers is always a good idea.

For Comfort & Relaxation

Settle in for a long, lazy day with these comfort items.

1. Cover-Up & Flip-Flops: Easy to slip on for a walk to the snack bar or back to your rental.
2. Beach Blanket or Chairs: A large blanket gives you plenty of space to spread out, and chairs offer extra comfort.
3. Books or Magazines: Nothing beats getting lost in a good story on the beach.
4. Music Speaker or Headphones: Set the soundtrack for your day.

Snacks & Sips

Stay hydrated and energized with a well-stocked cooler.

1. Cooler: Keep your drinks and snacks perfectly chilled.
2. Plenty of Water: The most important thing to pack to stay hydrated in the heat.
3. Snacks: Think easy-to-eat items like fruit, granola bars, and pretzels.

For Fun in the Sun

1. Beach Toys: If you have kids (or are a kid at heart!), don't forget buckets, shovels, or a frisbee.
2. Goggles or a Snorkel Mask: Explore what's under the water for a different kind of beach fun.

Pro-Tips for a Perfect Beach Day

1. Pack a Wet Bag: A simple reusable bag for wet swimsuits is a game-changer for the trip home.
2. Bring a Portable Charger: A day of photos and music can drain your phone battery.
3. Leave Valuables at Home: It's best to leave expensive jewelry or electronics in your rental for peace of mind.
4. Baby Powder for Sand Removal: A little-known trick! Sprinkling baby powder on sandy skin makes the sand brush right off.
