When the sun is beating down, it's best not to improvise. To spend a perfect day at the beach (without getting overheated or having any mishaps), the secret is to plan ahead. And to help you do that, G-Heat is here to lend a hand with a selection of practical, comfortable, and well-designed beach accessories. From beach towels to beachwear and the essential cooler bag, we'll guide you through the perfect preparations.
Why is it smart to prepare your beach gear in advance?
Because nothing ruins a day at the beach more than a bad sunburn, a wet towel that never dries, or forgetting your water bottle. Planning your beach gear in advance ensures you'll enjoy every minute from start to finish. And with all the right items in your bag, you can go from stressed to relaxed in seconds.
Top 3 categories of items to pack in your beach bag
Sun protection: your first line of defense
Before you think about games, swimming, or napping in the sun, think about your skin. It deserves maximum comfort—and, above all, a good dose of protection. Because even if you don't feel like you're burning, UV rays are doing their job. The result: sunburn, dehydration, tight skin... and if you can avoid that, it's better.
- Sunscreen SPF 50+: Apply generously as soon as you arrive and reapply regularly. Yes, even in the shade. Yes, even if you're used to tanning.
- Sun protection clothing: The smart option to avoid having to reapply sunscreen all the time. Lightweight, breathable, and designed to block UV rays. Plus, it keeps you cool while staying stylish.
- UV-protective cap or wide-brimmed hat: Not just an accessory, but a real shield for your head (and your neck). Add a pair of comfortable sunglasses with UV filters, and you're ready to face the glare without squinting.
- Well-filled water bottle: Hydration is not optional. Keep your bottle handy, filled with water (or a cool herbal tea), and drink regularly. Your body (and your skin) will thank you.
In short, sun protection isn't just a detail. It's the foundation for enjoying yourself safely. And when you're well equipped, you're more relaxed, cooler... and you can finally think about what matters: enjoying your day at the beach.
Games: making the beach fun
The beach isn't just a place to sunbathe (even though we love that too). It's also the perfect opportunity to let off steam, have fun, and share cool moments with your loved ones—or even on your own. A set of rackets for hitting the ball between dips in the water, a Frisbee that always flies too far, a ball for improvising a game of beach volleyball, or just a good book to escape under the parasol.
And if you want the chill version of the game, slip a few crossword puzzles or a waterproof deck of cards into your bag. These fun beach accessories don't take up any space, but they make all the difference once you're settled in. It's the perfect combination of relaxation and activity, to keep you smiling even when the sun is beating down.
The chill zone: set up your relaxation HQ
Your chill zone is like your beach lounge. It's where you relax, unwind, snack... and do nothing else. Start with a soft mat or folding chair to get comfortable (yes, we all deserve a little luxury on the sand). Add a shade tent or parasol to create a well-deserved spot in the shade, and don't forget a cooler filled with cold drinks and snacks (because an aperitif with your feet in the sand is priceless).
And at the heart of this dream setup? Your ultra-absorbent beach towel. It's not just a quick way to dry off: it's your personal spot to lie down, relax, read, sleep... The best part is that it's lightweight, dries in a flash, and, most importantly, can be used as sun protection thanks to its UV-resistant fabric and cooling technology. Basically, it's your favorite beach accessory for chilling out in style and comfort.
Focus on the towel: your ally for staying cool all day long
The G-Heat towel is THE thing we underestimate and regret as soon as it's soaked or full of sand. A thin beach towel that dries quickly and is light to carry is a must-have. And if it cools you down too? Jackpot.
These towels are designed to do all that at once. Made from technical beach fabric, they combine comfort, efficiency, and cooling technology. You get out of the water → you dry off → you stay cool. And with their compact size, they fit in any bag without weighing you down. Honestly, it ticks all the boxes and we haven't found a better beach towel for summer:
- Ultra absorbent: dries you off in no time.
- Polycool technology: cooling effect as soon as you wet it.
- UV protection: UPF50+ fabric to prevent sunburn.
- Compact and lightweight: perfect for slipping into your bag without weighing it down.
