35 Beach Essentials to Make Summer 2022 the Most Fashionable

If you’re anything like us, the beach season lasts only a few months each year. But if it’s longer than that, you can consider yourself very, very fortunate. We’ll be going 60 in no time and bringing out our summer accessories, including our boots and coats.

You don’t just grab a towel and head to the pool or beach. But if you do, I would vote for you as president. You need to be prepared for sunburns. We want to go where we are going in style and with a little foresight.

We have the best beach accessories for 2022, from the most stylish hats to the most versatile cover-ups.

Hats

No matter how much SPF you have slathered on, the face can always use some extra protection–especially when it comes in the form of a chic, beach-worthy hat. You can choose from Y2K-inspired bucket hats or oversized straw hats with wide brims. Whatever your preference, a hat that you love is essential to have a summer wardrobe.

Beach bags

It’s one of the best things about life to pack a bag, sunscreen, and a towel and head out to the beach or pool for the day. It shouldn’t be just any bag. You should love pulling it out of storage each summer. These bags will not only carry all your waterside necessities with ease but they’ll be the bag that you simply can’t stop looking at this summer.
