Make sure these new beach favorites are on hand during your next trip.

 

Solar D sunscreen is innovative for the way it separates helpful from harmful UVB light. The smooth and quickly absorbing formula is created to allow your skin the light it needs to produce Vitamin D, while still blocking out cancer-causing rays. Choose between SPF50 or SPF30, and a tube or spray bottle. Solar D sunscreen can be purchased from Yves Paris for a little more than $18 for a 3.3-ounce tube.

Every beachgoer knows pitching a tent or sunshade on the beach can be a real pain. From an unsteady surface to unpredictable winds, your tent can come tumbling down a multitude of ways. The Sombrilla, however, is a simple and stylish resolution. The cotton shade is supported by two aluminum poles, crossbar and four ropes, and can be set up to fit either high- or low-sun situations. All the materials fit back into a cutely printed, small carrying bag. You can order the Sombrilla in six designs for $168.

 

You new favorite app on beach days is Beach Caddy, a service which allows you to reserve a caddy to carry all of your beach goods right to where you want. Caddies will come straight to your beach house or Airbnb, grab your gear and have it ready and waiting when you arrive on the beach, meaning no annoying lugging on your part. Beach Caddy is currently available on the East Coast, but is working to expand.

 

For single beachgoers, or just those who aren’t keen on having another person rub them down with sunscreen, there is My Cabana Boy. Pop your sunscreen spray can into the tool and instantly reach every spot of your body with ease, eliminating any rogue sunburns. The tool is also perfect for spray tanner, spray lotions and spray aloe, in bottles 5–7.5 ounces. My Cabana Boy is $13.99 and comes in four fun colors.
