Summer is here — and there's no better place to celebrate the season than at Myrtle Beach!
Whether you're chasing the sunrise, burying your toes in the sand, or simply unwinding with the soothing sound of waves, the beach life is calling. But before you dive into that long-awaited getaway, make sure you're packed and prepped with the essentials that will make your stay comfortable, fun, and carefree.
At Coastal Properties, we know what makes a beach vacation unforgettable — and it starts with having the right must-haves on hand.
1. High-SPF Sunscreen
The Carolina sun is no joke! Protect your skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Reapply every two hours — and more often if you’re swimming. Trust us, nothing ruins a beach day like a painful sunburn.
Coastal Tip: Keep a small bottle in your beach bag and another in your car for quick reapplications!
2. Reusable Water Bottle
Stay hydrated while you play under the sun. Bring an insulated reusable water bottle to keep your drinks cold all day long. Bonus points for sustainability!
Pro tip: Many local cafés near Coastal Properties offer refill stations.
3. Beach Blanket or Sand-Free Towel
Upgrade your beach comfort with a large blanket or a sand-resistant towel. These lightweight must-haves make lounging more enjoyable and keep you from bringing half the beach back to your room.
4. Sun Hat & Sunglasses
Keep cool and stylish while protecting your face and eyes. Choose wide-brimmed hats for maximum coverage and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the water.
5. Cooler with Snacks
Pack a small cooler with fruit, sandwiches, and refreshments. Having snacks on hand means fewer trips back and forth and more time spent relaxing by the waves.
Staying at Coastal Properties? You’ll love how close we are to local markets for all your picnic needs!
6. Beach Games & Gear
From paddleball to frisbees and spikeball sets, summer is the time to unleash your inner beach athlete. Bringing games is a great way to bond with family, make new friends, or simply add more fun to your day.
7. Swimsuits (Yes, Plural!)
One is never enough. Having an extra swimsuit means you’re always ready — whether you’re drying off from the morning swim or heading out for a sunset dip.
Need to rinse off after the beach? Our Coastal Properties units offer convenient outdoor showers and laundry access.
8. Lightweight Cover-Up or Button-Down
Perfect for transitioning from the beach to nearby shops or restaurants. A breezy cover-up keeps you cool and sun-protected, while still looking stylish for those impromptu boardwalk strolls.
9. Waterproof Phone Case
Capture your favorite beach moments without the worry of water damage. A waterproof pouch lets you take photos, answer calls, and even scroll TikTok with sandy fingers.
10. Good Vibes & A Coastal State of Mind
No summer packing list is complete without the right attitude. Whether you're solo, with a partner, or enjoying family time, bring your best energy and let Myrtle Beach work its magic.
