35 Activities And Accessories For A Day At The Beach
I live in a land-locked state, so a day at the beach is something I don't take for granted since I don't get to experience it very often. There are so many fun things to do at the beach, and so many gorgeous accessories, that it was hard to narrow my list down to only 35 items. I didn't find any cabana boys on Amazon, but I found everything else I was looking for. There are plenty of activities to keep all your friends and family busy while you relax on the beach and listen to the surf. Have fun shopping for all your beach essentials!
