Get Your Campervan Beach Ready!

Though summer feels worlds away, it’s never too early to start envisioning and preparing for sunnier days – after all, time flies! Planning for warmer temperatures will give you a head start, all the while building anticipation to get you through the dreary winter months. We know that not everyone enjoys the bustle of planning and preparing, so we’ve done the work for you! 

Read on for our list of essential items needed for getting your caravan beach ready. Then, all that will be left for you to do is pack up and journey to your favourite place, where you can relax in the long-awaited sunshine! 

Here is your no-nonsense guide to getting your caravan well-stocked for a beach trip:

A Parasol

If you love a beach day but are cautious of catching sunburn, you’ll need a parasol. Our Ocean Beach Parasol will keep you cool and offer UV 50 sun protection. There is an adjustable pole to accommodate all heights, perfect if you have children. What’s more, each parasol comes with its own handy carry bag with a woven handle, meaning it is easily transported down footpaths to secluded beaches. It is made from 170T polyester, so this parasol will keep you cool and protected all day long! 

Beach Bags

We are hoping for plenty of days at the beach over the summer holidays, and for those days, you are going to need a beach bag! When it comes to beach bags, you’re going to need something versatile and large enough to accommodate your essentials. 

We have the perfect item for you. Our vibrantly designed beach bag is the ideal addition to your days out in the sun. Not only is it an excellent space saver, but it’s also foldable and, therefore can be taken anywhere – you can simply pack it away in its front pocket and pull on its drawstring whenever you need it. Made from durable polyester, our multi-purpose beach bag can also pose as a shopping bag. For just £4, this bag is an absolute bargain!

Comfy Seats

If you are someone who likes to sit and sizzle for a good few hours in the sun, you are going to need a comfortable seat while you soak up the rays. Ideally, you want a comfortable seat that isn’t burdensome to carry around. Our VW Deluxe camping chair is the solution to that problem! Our camping chairs are made from a durable tubular frame and padded material and come in four vibrant colours. Their quirky design will look great on the beach but, equally, at the side of your campervan in the summer evenings!

Each chair includes a colour coordinated bag with a drawstring toggle top so that you can carry it with ease. Their lightweight design will even tempt you to bring it along on all your outings!

Beach Towels

This is a pretty obvious one, but you’re going to need to have towels stored in your caravan to take to the beach. So whether you’re lazing on the beach or swimming in the sea, having a soft towel underneath and around you is a must. It is also worth considering a large storage bag to keep everything in so all these necessities don’t take over the space in your campervan. 

Don’t forget your SPF too!

You probably think this is an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many people neglect sunscreen when it comes to their list of essentials. With this in mind, we are here to give you the gentle reminder that you need to be wearing sunscreen, come rain or shine.

Regardless of the weather, UV rays penetrate through the skies and into your skin. By wearing sunscreen, you are not only protecting your skin from burning but also preventing ageing, reducing the risk of skin cancer and helping your skin remain healthy and nourished. In the summertime, the UK has been known to have some scorchers, so you’re going to need plenty! We recommend keeping a few bottles in your campervan, so you’re never caught out.

Water Bottles

Just like wearing SPF, drinking water is essential regardless of the weather, but when it is hot outside, it is crucial to stay hydrated. When you’re at the beach, your best bet is to have your own reusable water bottle or flask. You will prevent any waste from compromising the beach, and you’ll be able to keep your H20 at a refreshing temperature. Our ‘let the adventure begin’ drinking bottle is the perfect way to kickstart your sustainable living journey! With this bottle, you’ll be keeping hydrated in style. It comes in a cheerful pastel colour with a retro campervan design and has a screw top and durable keychain attachment, making it easy to clip onto backpacks and beach bags. With a bottle this great, there’s no excuse to be parched!

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it’s a pretty good start and includes all of the essentials to get you and your campervan beach ready! All that’s left to do is enjoy your time in the sun.
