what’s in your beach bag?

I am still recovering from Memorial Day weekend. I went to Michigan and spent some glorious time by the lake and pool. My beach bag is from Target, and it’s sort of a rubbery material that’s very easy to clean. But the best part of a beach bag (besides going to the beach) is what’s inside.

I have a water bottle (gotta stay hydrated!), my sunglasses case, my kindle for some heavy reading and comic books for light reading, my nerd pouch (it’s filled with chapstick, money, my phone, and any other small things I might need), my cool microfiber cloth that cleans my glasses, an extra hair elastic, and of course, sunscreen.

What do you keep in your beach bag? Am I missing anything? It’s too bad I didn’t remember to take these pictures while I was at the beach. Guess I’ll have to go back.
