beach essentials

Sandy outing supplies

Beach essentials are the items considered necessary for a trip to the beach—sunscreen, towels, swimsuits, sunglasses, and the like.

The phrase appears constantly in lifestyle content and retail marketing: Don't forget to pack your beach essentials.

What counts as essential varies by person, but the term implies a standard kit for sun, sand, and water.
