The sun is out and that can only mean one thing - it's time for the beach!
Whether you love lying on the sand (with your fave sun hat and sunscreen) floating amongst the waves, or hitting the surf, make sure you pack these beach essentials to have the best beach day ever!

1. Sunscreen! This is a definite, a nasty sunburn is never fun.
2. A hat. There are some totally cute summer hats out this season, so keep yourself covered up and looking stylish at the same time!
3. Snacks. Make sure to pack some healthy snacks like fruit and yummy sandwiches!
4. January issue of Total Girl - obviously!
5. Sarong. A sarong is a beach essential, not only do they look super cute but they are so easy to wear and can dress up any look.
6. Colourful sunnies. This summer bright colours are a must! So grab a pair of pretty sunnies to complete your look.
7. Water bottle. There's nothing like a refreshing bottle of water on those scorching summer days!
8. Towel. Pack your biggest beach towel so there's heaps of room for you AND your besties!
9. Thongs. Nothing worse that forgetting your thongs at the beach!
10. iPod. Music, the sun, besties and the beach? Doesn't get any better than that!

Have fun TGs! Stay sun safe, swim between the flags and always look out for your besties.
