4 ways to stay comfy at the beach this summer

Here are our tips on how to stay comfy while chilling out on the beach…

1. Storing clothing

Not all beaches come with handy changing rooms – so after you’ve managed to dance in and out of your swimwear, you’ve then got to find somewhere to store your clothing without it either falling into the sand or getting everything else wet.

Instead of just bringing a large tote bag, use a camera bag instead – or something with lots of pockets. Then use sandwich bags or small carriers in each pocket. This means you can safely store clothes separately from books and electrics.

2. Removing sand

It’s always the big dilemma – you want to go into the sea but can’t be bothered with getting the sand off your feet. Endless brushing with your towel either removes nothing or just rubs the sand into your skin.

A good tip is to use baby powder or talc. As this dries the skin, the sand starts to fall off a lot easier. And your feet will smell nice too. This also works on other parts of the body.

To help keep sand away from your clothes, bags and books, bring an elasticated bed sheet with you. Turn it upside down and put four heavy bags or rocks in each corner. This should create a pen in which you can keep kids and clothes sand-free.
