Don’t Forget To Snag These 36 Useful Items Before You Head To The Beach This Summer

3. A massive sand-free beach blanket that actively repels dirt and sand — a true beach miracle!! Now you can lay out and read your book without getting thousands of grains of sand stuck to your body. And let me emphasize again how big it is!! Your whole family could hang out on this thing!

Parents especially love this because babies and toddlers can lay on it without getting sand in their mouths.

Promising review: “I walk to the beach and the park with my baby all the time and was sick of my butt getting wet when we sat on the grass and the baby getting all sandy when sitting on towels. I decided to search Amazon for some kind of beach blanket. This blanket wasn’t really what I was looking for, but it did not disappoint! First of all it’s HUGE. I still haven’t used it open all the way yet. It’s compact and easy to carry, I love that there are pockets to weigh it down with sand, that sand rolls right off, and that I can just stuff it right back in the little bag without having to fold it strategically when I’m done. I can take the baby to the beach and lay her on her tummy without worrying about sand getting on her hands and face. Great product!!” —Adriana

4. A sun visor as stylish as it is effective at getting the sun out of your face and the sweat at bay. If traditional baseball caps make your head too sweaty, you’ll love how the open design of this visor allows the breeze to hit your hair and neck.

The wide brim provides much more UV protection than regular caps!

Promising review: “I have long hair and always avoided hats because I hate having my hair sweating against my neck in a low bun or ponytail. With this sun visor-summer hat combo, I can keep my hair in a top knot and still keep my face and neck protected from the sun while catching a nice breeze. This is perfect (although a little large in circumference and I have a big head 7 3/4 hat size) and it’s adjustable and can fit any head size. It rolls up well and has an elastic to keep it rolled. I’ll be recommending this item to all my friends!” —Amazon Customer
