Happy August! Here at Altered Latitudes, we love a good day on the beach with friends and family. To make sure you are prepared for an epic day of fun in the sun, we have compiled a list of 10 beach bag must-haves!
1. Sunscreen
Protecting yourself and your loved ones from the sun is essential. All Good Mineral Sun Screen is a sunscreen that is both sustainable and protective. It is also reef safe so you can enjoy endless days on the beach or the boat!
2. Altered Latitudes Shirt
To get that extra protection from the sun, make sure to pack an Altered Latitudes shirt in your bag! We also use three technologies to make our shirts fit your beach day needs! The first is an M-Shield permanent odor control. Next, our PURE-tech® cool-wicking makes sure you stay cool and dry no matter the activity. Finally, our shirts also offer UPF 50+ sun protection so that you can be protected from the sun’s harmful rays.

5. Sunglasses
You’ll want to be protected from the sun from head to toe and even your eyes! These eco-friendly sunglasses are made from recycled plastic resin and use plastic-free.
6. Books
A great book provides the perfect entertainment for you while you lie on the beach. In the spirit of sustainability, we encourage you to check out your next book at your local library, borrow from a friend or use an e-reader!
7. A Towel that Also Doubles as a Bag
Another essential for your beach bag is a high-quality towel from our friends at Beachables. This 3-in-1 Turkish Towel and Cotton Tote will be your new beach bestie. Tote all your necessities in your Beachables Bag. Then once you get there, unfold it and use it as your towel. The design also allows it to work as a chair cover that stays put.
8. Bluetooth Speaker
A beach day isn’t complete without great music! We recommend this JBL Clip speaker for your beach bag. Not only is the speaker waterproof, but it also has a convenient clip that you can use to attach to your bag.
9. Water Bottle
Hydration is key when soaking up in the sun! Make sure to stay hydrated and be sustainable with one of our favorite reusable water bottles: Hydroflask!
10. Snacks
A final must-have in your beach bag is a tasty snack. Try one of our favorite chips that are also local to Charleston just like us!
