Going to the beach [1] has to be one of the greatest parts of Summer. Besides the fact that it instantly makes you feel like a kid again [2], it gives you a chance to lay back and relax. Of course, just because waterfront living is the best doesn't mean that it doesn't come with its own problems, as anyone who has had to vacuum out their car after a trip to the shore will tell you. Protecting yourself from the elements is integral to ensure that you can actually enjoy that pitcher of frosé [3] you made. Here are the 10 beach products you desperately need to make sure you have fun this Summer at the beach.
