If you plan to travel to a tropical destination for Spring Break, I am sure you are counting down the days until you leave. Spring Break is such an exciting time for college students as you can take a week off of school and do something that makes you happy. A time when you are surrounded by friends or family living your “best life.” I am sure you have begun imagining your future tan, memories, and social media posts, but have you started planning your packing list? If not, this may be the perfect thing for you!
Here are the 10 essential Amazon finds for your tropical Spring Break.
- Beach Bag
-
You don’t want to run out of hands holding your sunscreen, swimsuit, towel, shoes, sunglasses, water bottle, and other accessories. When traveling to the beach, a large bag is a must! This mesh beach tote is waterproof, has multiple pockets, and will compliment your beach fashion. The bottom is thickened to prevent your items from touching wet sand and floors. If you don’t like the color Khaki, no worries! The bag also comes in Beige, Pink, and Black.
- Beach Towel
-
From my personal experience, spending the extra money on an oversized soft towel is worth it. This HENBAY fluffy oversized beach towel absorbs water extremely well, is large for you to lay on, and is soft to cover up with. If you want to find a towel to match your color aesthetic at the beach, you are in luck. This towel comes in Aqua, Blue, Gray, Rose, Yellow, Green, and Red.
- OIL-free Spf
-
Although you may be looking forward to getting a tan on your tropical vacation, it is extremely important to protect your skin through the process. Sun Bum’s original sunscreen lotion will protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with Vitamin E. This product is vegan, Hawaii Act 104 Reef compliant, cruelty-free, gluten-free, paragon free, oxybenzone and octinoxate free, oil free, PABA free, water resistant, and broad spectrum protection.
- Aloe vera
-
We have all had a “been there, done that” moment when it comes to looking like a lobster on the beach. Whether you fell asleep in your beach chair, forgot to reapply your sunscreen, or are just prone to burning, Aloe Vera will be your next best friend. There are several brands of Aloe Vera and they will all do the trick, but my personal favorite is Sun Bum Cool Down Aloe Vera Gel. This light, non-greasy formula is quickly absorbed, leaving the skin smooth and soft.
- sunglasses
-
If you don’t feel like dusting your sunglasses off from last summer, check out these sunglasses from WearMe Pro on Amazon. With a lightweight and comfortable metal frame and UV protection, you will be set for your sunny vacation. Amazon has a wide variety of sunglasses including variations in style and color to meet your needs.
- books
-
Have you been dying to read a book for your own pleasure, but find that the constant chaos of school has taken away that freedom? Well, spring break may be your perfect opportunity to indulge in your imagination while flipping through the pages of a book on the beach. If you are not sure where to start, Amazon Books offers kindle, audio, paperback, and hardcover books to meet your needs. If you are overwhelmed by the selection of books, I recommend a book by Colleen Hoover. She has written romances, psychological thrillers, ghost stories, novels on domestic violence, drug abuse, homelessness, and poverty. These books have an addictive combination of sex, drama, and outrageous plot twists.
- water bottle
-
When being in the heat all day, hydration is necessary. A refillable water bottle will be nice to have when you are traveling, on an excursion, lounging in a beach chair, or playing volleyball. If you don’t want to bring your fancy Stanley Tumbler in fear of losing it, Amazon has a wide selection of inexpensive water bottles for you to browse for your trip. Coming in eleven color options and five sizes, this Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle will keep your drink nice and cold while under those beaming sun rays.
- hat
-
With your hair blowing in your face and the sun shining in your eyes, a hat is a must as it will not only be useful but also stylish. Whether you are wanting a baseball cap, bucket hat, or straw hat, Amazon has a wide variety of styles for you to select from.
- speaker
-
Let’s face it… the beach is much more fun when you are scream-singing your favorite songs with friends. Not only will you need a speaker, but you will want to make sure it is waterproof for your time by the pool or on the beach. This Bluetooth Speaker is compact and portable while delivering a loud sound. It has a 24-hour play time, a 100ft Bluetooth range, and colorful flashing lights. The best part? It is waterproof!
- cooler
-
Throughout your days, you are bound to get hungry or thirsty and may want to pack some drinks or snacks. This Cooler Bag comes in three sizes and twelve colors. With a double-decker design, you can store your food separately from your drinks. This bag is versatile and will allow you to keep your items nice and cool.
