Make today a beach day...
The summer holidays signify long days relaxing at the beach and swimming in the sea with friends and family. Make your day by the sea more enjoyable with our beautiful beach day essentials. From what to pack, wear and eat, discover our tips for planning the perfect beach day. Just add your favourite beach destination and warm, sunny weather!
Beach day packing
Our beautiful and practical Alfresco Beach Bag features an all over abstract palm frond design created in-house on a summery blue base. Made from waterproof outdoor fabric and generously sized to hold everything you could need for a day at the beach. Pack sunglasses, sunblock, lip balm, a sun hat, beach towel, a good book as well as a water bottle and snacks. Our Alfresco Beach Bag has a handy inside pocket with zip closure to keep your phone and keys safe and sand free.
For sun and sea bathing
Add tropical motifs to your summer fun with our Alfresco Beach Towel. Made from super soft cotton velour with absorbent terry cotton on the reverse and tasseled ends. A sunny day essential, our Alfresco Beach Towel is perfect for wrapping up in after a dip in the ocean and relaxing on for a little basking in warm sunshine. If there are no trees at your beach of choice, pack a wind-proof beach umbrella to provide essential shade.
Coastal chic
Discover the relaxed, easy style of our Bahama daywear essentials. Designed to be thrown on over swimwear and perfect for beach days or lazing by the pool. Featuring a palm tree design created in-house for adding a hint of the tropics to your summer fun. And stay sun smart with with our Monaco Linen Hat. Stylish, made from linen and perfect to pop in your beach bag for summer outings and beach days.
Picnic perfect
An ideal beach day menu includes food that can be snacked on, as and when you feel peckish. We recommend a vegetarian quiche or bacon and egg pie that can be cut into small pieces and eaten cold, fresh fruit and in-season berries, items for a simple cheese/charcuterie board and chippies. Pack drinks of your choice and remember to include plenty of water to stay hydrated in the heat. Once laid out ready to graze, use a couple of our linen tea towels to cover your food to keep the bugs at bay. Pack your picnic in our Alfresco Cooler Bag (along with a few ice packs) to keep it cool and fresh while at the beach.
