We all know the basics: sunscreen, swimsuit, sunglasses, and a good beach read. But if you’re ready to take your beach days from “pretty good” to “how did I ever live without this?”—we’ve got the inside scoop.
From genius gear that keeps your drinks icy to beach decor that brings that salty air feeling home, here’s your ultimate guide to the things you didn’t know you needed for beach season—but absolutely do.
1. BrüMate Drink Holders – Because Warm Drinks Are a Crime
Is there anything worse than taking a sip of your drink on a hot beach day… and it’s already lukewarm? Enter the BrüMate can cooler, a sleek, insulated game-changer that keeps your favorite beverage ice-cold—even in full sun. Whether you’re sipping a sparkling water or a beach beer, this little miracle hugs your can and keeps things refreshingly chill.
Bonus: it comes in beachy colors and won’t sweat all over your towel. Win-win.
2. Sand Cloud Beach Towels – Sand-Free and Sustainably Stylish
Say goodbye to the towel shake-out struggle. Sand Cloud towels are made from lightweight Turkish cotton, dry insanely fast, and (best part) the sand doesn’t stick. That’s right—you can roll it up and head home without bringing half the beach with you.
Plus, they come in gorgeous patterns and are compact enough to toss in your tote. Practical and pretty? Count us in.
3. Waterproof Phone Pouch – For Ocean Pics Without the Panic
Let’s face it, your phone is basically your lifeline—to music, maps, and capturing golden hour perfection. A waterproof phone pouch lets you snap underwater selfies, protect your phone from sand and splashes, and still use the touchscreen. No more ziplock-bag hacks. Just seal, snap, and swim.
4. Portable Beach Tent or Sunshade – Instant Shade, Zero Hassle
Sure, a beach umbrella works… until the wind decides otherwise. A lightweight beach tent or pop-up sunshade gives you full coverage, better stability, and way more room to chill in the shade. It’s like bringing your own beachfront cabana—minus the resort price tag.
5. Out of Office Outfitters Beach Decor – Bring Your Happy Place Home
You don’t have to leave the beach behind when the day ends. Our custom beach-themed metal signs and canvas wall art let you bring the surf, sun, and salty vibes home with you. Whether it's a personalized sign for your cabana, a wave-themed wall piece, or a beach bar sign that screams “island time,” our decor is made to keep the beach spirit alive—all year long.
Because your happy place deserves a permanent spot on your wall.
Beach season is short. Don’t settle for basic. With just a few clever upgrades—and a little post-beach home decor magic—you can make every beach day feel like your best day.
