5 Must-Haves for the Perfect Long Island Beach Day
There’s nothing better than a summer day spent soaking up the sun on Long Island’s iconic beaches. Whether heading to Robert Moses, Smith Point, or a hidden North Shore cove, having the right essentials can turn a simple beach trip into a perfect mini-escape.
As a Long Island native and drone photographer, I’ve curated pieces that blend style, function, and local pride. Here are 5 beach-day must-haves from my shop to make your next shoreline adventure effortless and elevated.
1. The Weekender Rope Tote
Our rope-handled tote is your ultimate carry-all. It is spacious, durable, and coastal-cute. Pack everything from towels and snacks to books and sunscreen—the thick nautical rope straps and local design make it the kind of bag you’ll reach for all summer long.
2. Boho Beach Blanket
Whether you’re setting up a picnic, lounging solo, or watching the sunset with friends, our boho beach blankets are a must. Lightweight, oversized, and soft to the touch, they bring style and comfort to any sandy setup.
3. The Sand & Sea Tumbler
Stay hydrated in style with our 20oz Sand & Sea Tumbler. Crafted from stainless steel with double-wall insulation, this tumbler keeps your drinks hot or cold for hours. Featuring a stunning aerial view of Southampton’s beach waves, it’s both functional and a nod to Long Island’s coastal beauty. Its durable construction and secure lid make it a reliable choice for beach outings, ensuring your favorite beverage is always within reach.
4. A Lightweight Trucker Hat & Cozy Hoodie
The sun may shine bright, but salty breezes can sneak in — especially near the water. Throw on a breezy trucker hat for midday sun protection, and layer up with a lightweight hoodie once the golden hour rolls in. Both are perfect for that laid-back Long Island look.
5. A Long Island-Inspired Journal
Capture the day’s memories, sketch the waves, or jot down thoughts with one of our hardcover journals. Featuring drone images of local landmarks, it’s the perfect beach companion for mindful moments and creative inspiration.
