If you're thinking about your next beach day, then here are some suggestions that will take it to the next level.
1. Find the beach that's right for you
If you are not lucky enough to live within walking distance of the beach then it's worth thinking about the best beach to visit. Consider taking public transport to avoid finding yourself in a nightmare parking situation - or get up early to beet the rush.

2. Find a spot in the shade
If you are planning on staying all day then finding a spot in the shade, or bringing your own shade with you, is essential. I love to lounge under the big tree at Balmoral Beach, but if we are going to a bigger beach I always pack a sun umbrella.
3. Pack some alcohol-free drinks

While alcohol and beach days are not a great combination, alcohol-free drinks are perfect. Delicious and refreshing, these drinks are also lower in calories and sugar than the traditional versions. And, as they are free from alcohol, these drinks will not dehydrate you when you're drinking in the sun.
I recommend ready to drink mocktails because they are super delicious as well as super convenient.
