Sun of a beach; what to pack and wear when heading out for some sun, sand and sea as a man.

Swimwear

Your choice of swimwear is by far the most important part of your trip to the beach. You’ll be in your trunks all day long, so they have to be comfortable and maintain a wide range of motion while still being stylish. They should also dry very quickly, allowing you to jump between the beach and the city with relative ease.

Modern trends dictate that your swimwear should end a few inches above the knee, baring a bit of thigh. If you aren’t comfortable with this, it’s fine to go down to the knee, but don’t let it dangle over — that restricts movement.

Shirts

You never know when your day at the beach will turn into a stroll or a night on the town, so it’s a good idea to pack or wear something socially acceptable just in case you don’t spend the entirety of your time in the water. Plus, if you’re a little self-conscious, an extra layer on top can add a lot of confidence.

Tank tops are a great idea if stepping outside feels like opening an oven door, but they’re inappropriate for night wear and can be regionally awkward.

Footwear

The easiest choice is flip-flops — they’re cheap, readily available, and very effective for their intended purpose. Since you’ll only be wearing them for a short period of time, they’ll likely be stashed away during the duration of the trip, so their low profile is perfectly suited for transportation. Furthermore, their rubber construction is easily cleaned, an important attribute for beach attire.

Beach Towel

One thing most people don’t consider when buying a towel is its material composition. While most are 100% cotton, you will frequently run into synthetic blends, which might perform better or worse depending on its ratio. One of the single best materials to look for is linen; it retains even more water than cotton without feeling wet, breaks in nicely over the summer, is exceedingly durable, and allows air to flow through on hot summer days while still keeping you dry.

A Tote

You’ll certainly be bringing a lot of stuff — sunscreen, towels, books, electronics, perhaps even a change of clothes! To be properly prepared, you need a dependable bag that can hold your belongings without feeling unweildy. Remember, sand gets everywhere at a beach, so ensure it can be easily
